This is what I feel like when trying to connect when a portion of my regular websites are all being DDoS'd for apparently stupid reasons. Ferrari Pileups. Have a picture of a non-crashed Ferrari after the break instead, while I find something to occupy my time until the sites are back up.

Is this the gawker sites and is it in regards to #gamergate?

I know the feel, a website of mine went down a few days ago and wrecked all four of their servers

I think I know what you're talking about.
To be honest, I have to give props where due. Whomever organized the attack is really good, I've never seen a DDoS of this scale before.

It might be, but not Gawker sites. There's a lot of DDoSs flying around here, someone built a very big gun and they're testing out.

As an aside, I think Gamergate is going to produce a whole mess of losers and maybe one or two winners.

I think DDoS attacks are one of the dumbest and most immature ways of attacking people. "I cant win an argument so I'm going to ping you to death and brag that I'm a 1337 haxx0r." It's the internet equivalent of sticking your fingers in your ears and going "lalalalalalala I can't hear you." And pretending you won an argument.
Side note: was I not followed by Oppo?

I accidentally unfollowed you, then followed you again. You make good comments.
This is more than just internet argument stuff though, this is probably someone with one of the largest DDoS weapons I've seen (someone who got past a lot of security systems to put DDoS viruses on a lot of compromised computers, with multiple kinds of viruses working in tandem) being sent after people for stupid reasons. It wouldn't surprise me if a considerable chunk of money passed hands prior to this.

The people who are being shown to be losers by gamergate were already losers before gamergate. It's sad because I've never trusted the media and gamergate isnt helping but a bunch of neckbeards acting like you win debates by acting like they're on xbox live is certainly no way to make a point.

That sounds like bill gates trying to win a pissing contest buy building a custom super soaker.

Someone should share this comment to a blog that's more tech-savvy than this one. That's gold.
