Wow, those DOS Artillery-Strikes went down fast. YTMND must have a lot of dedicated, time-wasting users to get rid of a place with as much bandwidth as Ebaumsworld. It's like the place got farked.

Events in a Nutshell:

Everyone knows Ebaumsworld has had a long history of stealing; if you didn't, now you do. Recently they have had fights with Something Awful, but when they stole from YTMND just recently it sparked off a large chain of events.

YTMND users, furious, asked for help. Luelinks, Something Awful, and many other sites gladly accepted.

Forces planned for an attack on 12 AM EST. Word quickly spread after the attack began; Knova and Newgrounds happily joined in (Ebaumsworld has made many people angry, it seems). 4Chan, busy in a separate invasion of another site, also joined in some part with the smackdown.

The ebaumsworld.com forums were mercilessly obliterated. At first, there was just heavy lag, until the database crashed. Eventually the forums came back up, but crashed again. When it arose the next time, it prevented anyone not logged into an account from even viewing the forums and began mass-banning any new users. They quickly went down again, this time fully- the forums subdomain temporarily shut down.

It came back on, of course, eventually. As of this moment, the forums page stands at not letting any non-member in, but there are still hundreds - if not thousands - of invaders infesting every core of their system. The live chat rooms have been taken over by YTMND as well. Luelinks has been hit ferociously by Ebaums counter-DDOS attacks, as well as other sites. The ebaums site was hacked and every so often redirects to pornographic, offensive, and adult finding websites.

This hacking has continued through the course of the day, as has the raiding. The attack has lost some strength, but it is still going substantially strong. It might even pass the 24 hour mark in constant length.

Some GameFAQS users have also been suspended in relation to invasion of eBaum's world.

Pray tell, CC, where did you find that summary? This interplay of communities is fascinating.

I would like to see slashdot join in the attack against ebaum

All my submission is waiting for is a source for the article. If you want to see it covered, try making a submission yourself, as well. There's no guarantee mine will make it to the top of the pile.

It came back on, of course -- eventually. As of this moment, the forums page stands by denying service to every non-member, but there are still hundreds - if not thousands - of invaders infesting the core of their system.

Some GameFAQS users have also been suspended in relation to invasion of eBaum's world, possibly indicating a participation much wider than previously thought.
