Site permanently down.

Sorry guys, we've been informed by our hosting company that they're pulling the plug due to the DoS attacks.

Its really unfortunate that a group claiming to represent the right to freedom of speech would do this.

We live in sad times.

Well It's down now.... Score one for the good guys

It's back up now.

I'm not sure that I understand your post. It incorporates portions from their web site without a clear indication of the portion added by you.

I'm probably just FReeping past my "go to bed" time and misunderstanding your post, but I must strongly disagree with any implication that "good guys" can launch DoS attacks.

I hope that no FReepers were the bad guys involved in DoS or similar attacks. (BTW, the first notice on their web site of IP spoofing attacks was just before I started this thread.) OK to send them dissenting emails or post on their message board, but good guys do not launch DoS or similar attacks, regardless of motive.

Beyond the immorality and likely illegality of such attacks, practicality dictates against this. Conduct like that can generate retaliation and justify further action by them.

All FReepers should be moral enough and wise enough to avoid improper/illegal cyberattacks.
