“Indiana Gregg, it seems nobody has told you this, but somebody must: You are not that important. Not even close.”

Wrong, the party is not on p2pnet.net, but rather here:

“Due to a bug in the site’s coding, once articles get pushed off the front page of p2pnet, they will spend about a week in digital Purgatory until they appear in “Previous Entries” page.”

I’d never noticed that. So thanks. We’ll try to rectify it.

Cheers!

” The above poster is posting some accurate facts but obscuring them with his own bullshit. ”

Instead of just slinging more bullshit, why don’t you point out exactly, point by point,
what is wrong with that posters statement ?

Whenever an article gets written and posted here and on other websites recently about a particular controversial subject, the comment section literally explodes.

Strange coincidence that a dos attack might follow. These often seem to shadow troll wars.

Due to a bug in the site’s coding, once articles get pushed off the front page of p2pnet, they will spend about a week in digital Purgatory until they appear in “Previous Entries” page. Maybe the comment trolls, unable to find the articles again – and locked out of the Wikipedia page of the same subject – decided to do something else with their energy and determination?

Back in 2003-2004, there was an invasion of trolls that flooded several P2P forums for months promoting an unknown (and definitely unwanted) P2P application called Earth Station 5. The resulting forum flame wars quickly grew to many pages in size before being locked by frustrated moderators, only to be started up again. When more aggressive measures were finally taken by the site operators to combat the trolls/spammers, DoS attacks followed.

From an obscure buggy, P2P software to an unknown ‘musically-challenged’ singer — both rejects which raised ire among the P2P community — maybe history repeats itself?

If this site ( and others like it ) made no difference, then there would be
no need for DDOS attacks.

Someone is clearly uspet about something.

Good.
