Support NeoGAF

[Chris Murphy]

Yeah I just posted a thread about Neogaf being down for the UK most of the day. It got closed pretty quick with a link to Tyler's twitter explaining about a DDOS.

Surprised not to see an announcement sticky, to stop people like me starting threads.

 

[Kadin]

Gaf died. Went on Reddit, didn't get past the first page as I gave that up ages ago. Went on twitter, nothing good as I gave that up ages ago. Did a search for NeoGAF to see who tweeted about it. Watched Doctor Who on Netflix.

LOL. This is almost exactly how my day has gone, except the Twitter part. Too funny.

 

[Soodanim]

I went to SA and read the LP stuff. If GAF gets shut down, I can move on. But I'm glad it's here.

If GAF went away, I really wouldn't know where else to go. Gaming stuff is pretty much all I use the internet for these days, and I don't know of any other forum that's even nearly as good as this one. Seriously, are there any?

LOL. This is almost exactly how my day has gone, except the Twitter part. Too funny.

It's almost pitiful, isn't it?

 

[Item Box]

The A.V. Club and Ars Technica were still up, so it's all good

 

[Rewrite]

I was wondering what was up. Glad GAF is back!

 

[rokkerkory]

It was because GAF was DOWN... made my day slower too

 

[howdyjacker]

Even when up , accessing gaf has been like my wipers... Intermittent.

*sigh*

 

[CTLance]

Oh, would you look at that, gaf is back up. Feels good to be home again.

Good job, admins. Must've been one hell of a shitstorm.

In other news, the GDP of several countries probably received a substantial boost today, with gaf AND reddit down.

 

[Menome]

For the sad, miserable little person who DDOS'd GAF, today was the most important day of their lives.

For GAF, it was Friday.

 

[Patrick S.]

It was weird not having GAF to fall back on. It's my default site for just killing time.

At least there's still Pornhub.

 

[InfiniteBento]

Feels good to have a purpose to go online again. Without GAF I'm bored as fuck most of the time.

 

[thenexus6]

1) Open laptop and see GAF is down
2)

all day
3) It's back up
4) Proft!

Spoiler

???

 

[RionaaM]

Glad that GAF is back. Had to resort to TV Tropes today, which means the work day was ruined, productivity-wise.

/r/games is pretty good, if you want news and stuff.

 

[30yearsofhurt]

Update 8:
And we're back. Maybe for realsies this time. Let this period of return be a time of reflection. And stuff. Maybe move to Australia cause some of us had the Neo the whole time.

Down here in Australia all last night.

 

[SmackAttack]

First time I've been able to get on all day. Funny enough, I had absolutely nothing to do today so I decided to have a lazy day at home browsing GAF and such. Of course when I want to do that, something like this happens. Can't believe it was a DDoS attack. Why?

 

[Moral Panic]

The worst part about Gaf being down is that there is no where to complain about gaf being down.

this.

 

[BY2K]

I seriously don't know where I'd go if NeoGAF closed down for good.

Don't ever go away, GAF.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

/r/games is pretty good, if you want news and stuff.

Isn't r/games set to private?

 

[Patrick S.]

Maybe it's just a coincidence, but on the TV news today they spoke about how businesses lose billions (with a "b"!) of Euros every year because of lack of productivity caused by employees' private Internet usage during work hours...

 

[MudoSkills]

I had to spend my entire day at work doing work.

It was awful. I hope you're happy Gaf, because you did this.

 

[Mr-Joker]

GAF going down taught me that I should at least spend a few days where I don't on gaf, so I can become more productive.

 

[Codeacious]

Welp, good thing I'm not in the US right now; I haven't noticed any interruptions of service. The need to browse NeoGAF persists, even on vacation!

 

[entremet]

The outage showed how addicted I'm to GAF.

I was having withdrawal symptoms lol. Gotta address that.

 

[m_shortpants]

Isn't r/games set to private?

https://www.reddit.com/r/games

Nope.

 

[diggmcbadass]

God dammit. Had to work today since both gaf and reddit was down.

On the other hand, I know everything every newspaper wrote today.

 

[BPoole]

https://www.reddit.com/r/games

Nope.

r/gaming was in read only so nobody could post

 

[Highwind]

This was probably one of the most productive days in a long time for a lot of Gaffers.

Seriously LOL!

Don't ever go away, GAF.

Go home and be a family man.

 

[It was me Austin]

Any word on exactly why NeoGAF was down today? Server maintenance or something?

DDoS.

[Shadow_Lord]

Guys.... I-I must confess something terrible. When GAF was down today, I actually played a videogame on my PS4, and I-I... I'm terribly sorry, but I think I actually had fun ;_;
I'm ashamed of myself

Turn in that Gaf gold card. It's over.

 

[The Lamonster]

DDoS.

We ever find out why??

 

[Big Nikus]

We ever find out why??

Is there ever a reason that makes sense ?

 

[lazygecko]

Is there ever a reason that makes sense ?

This usually happens during summer because you get a bunch of bored script kiddies who don't have school to occupy them.

 

[iNvid02]

im guessing we're being attacked by radical feminists or basement dwelling 8chan terrorists in response to evilore's post

 

[The Giant]

I was so bored during my breaks at work. I actually had to watch the news and listen a shitty footy game in the lunch room.

 

[m_shortpants]

r/gaming was in read only so nobody could post

/r/gaming is garbage, I was talking about /r/games

 

[Luigiv]

There's the answer.
I'm probably gonna go to bed. Hopefully it's back up for all soon!

Yep called it. Really not surprised. Gaf has a lot of "enemies", was bound to happen sooner or later.

 

[Tesseract]

your mom is slow

[inm8num2]

Go home and be a family man.

Or go home and watch The Family Man.

(It's honestly a good movie.)

 

[MattyG]

Today made me realize how much I'd miss The Neo and all of you if it shut down. TwitterGAF did a good job of filling the void though.

 

[Currygan]

This was probably one of the most productive days in a long time for a lot of Gaffers.

not for me though

I was basically this

 

[brokenbeans]

Well yesterday sucked lol

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

You people have too much time on your hands.

You should have gone and enjoyed the day somehow!

Unless you were trapped!

 

[Disgraced]

Unless you were trapped!

I'm trapped inside The Neo.

 

[liliththepale]

I was asleep for probably nine hours of the blackout, so it didn't affect me that much. But I'm glad the site's back up now.

 

[BPoole]

/r/gaming is garbage, I was talking about /r/games

I know, I just wanted to point it out since it is the most prominent gaming related sub on reddit. It is a shame it is nothing but shitty memes and bad puns

 

[LookAtMeGo]

You people have too much time on your hands.

Unless you were trapped!

I was trapped. Trapped in a place where the only way to escape was to hit F5 repeatedly for hours. Luckily I survived.
