Disclaimer thing: Okay, blah blah, cussing's bad, it'll warp your mind, destroy your soul.

Something like that.

Catchy.

Ah yes. I remember that thread on Something Awful. I was wondering why SA was slow for that period of time. I'd post the SA thread about the legal actions but I'm too poor to buy a premium account (which includes searching).

Then go rob a hooker.

If you do that, just remember to get away before her pimp finds you. :p

Especially if his name is Sport. He just can't die from a gunshot to the stomach.

damn straight

Maddox likes ebaumsworld. Don't you like Maddox?

Heh, Ebaum's versus Something Awful. That's like Doucheman versus Prickboy. It's funny how SA rants about Ebaum's flooding their site, when this is a thing they routinely do to other sites (such as with the Awful link of the day). Cry me a river, SA, about your own bitter medicine.

That said, at least SA makes their own work. Ebaum just jacks it by putting that retarded watermark on it. Host it to share, fine. But that watermark? Lame.

Wow, you're a prejudicial jerk who can't read!

SA links to sites. That's it. It's no more a "DoS attack" than what Slashdot does. SA is high volume, yeah, and most of the users who stick to the front page are idiots who ruin guestbooks and forums, but that kind of behavior has been bannable in the actual SA Forums since the ALOD began. Lowtax does not want his visitors to do this. He just wants his visitors to laugh at the stupid websites people make on geocities.

Ebaumsworld added a forum database request to every single one of their pages. Meaning that every time someone accesses anything on ebaumsworld, it makes a request on SA. THIS IS A DOS ATTACK. Ebaum wanted his users to flood and disable the SA forums. Ebaum has a questionable sexuality and I believe it is possible that his father molests him between offering immoral financial advise.


Ebaum doesn't steal from the SA main page because of the very real possibility of legal action. He does, however, steal from the forums. The contact email to have your work removed is also ignored.

To add.

Lowtax basically said that any actions that SA members pertake is NOT sanctioned by Something Awful itself. Basically you will suffer the consequences of legal/criminal actions done by you and not Something Awful. This was highly stressed out. This and you'll be banned from SA and lose out on :10bux:. The only time(s) I've seen SA actually commit "attacks" is for Magenta Alerts. And from my POV, these are justified.

You know what? The fact that ebaumsworld links to Maddox (and vice-versa) doesn't make me like ebaumsworld.

It makes me hate maddox. **** that guy.

Edit: Here is the Javascript that Ebaum put on every single one of his pages:


Like I said: Pure, solid, DOS. And nothing will ever happen to that little angst-ridden spoiled retard because of morons who visit his page, view his ads, and give him millions of dollars to spend on lawyers (because lawyers and bandwidth are his only two expenses).

No, seriously. Ebaum actually is a millionaire, and he got there by stealing. In a sane and just world, Ebaum and his dad would have been strung up by their necks in the town square.

Lowtax very well knows that the sheer number of visitors he has will overwhelm almost any website that he links to. It's happened many times. Slashdot does it in a non-malicious way; they are usually praising the site, and this brings positive traffic, helping the site. SA brings negative traffic, and will flood a site with jerks. In the end, SA harms the target site worse than any attack would. And how would they know who to ban in forum raids?

Lowtax doesn't give a ****, and you know this to. After reading his (or one of the other goon's) manefesto on why they do ALOD, it pretty much just made them seem like the bullies of the internet. Grow up, seriously.

It's SA being a bunch of jerks throwing their weight around to impose themselves on others. It'd be nice if they just left people alone to do whatever; I fail to see the humor in what SA does as far as ALOD. "Oh, look, some idiot made a webpage, let's flood... er, see it so we can... laugh... at... um... colors"

I should also say though that Ebaum is much, much worse than SA, and is harmful overall, while SA is not. I just have a beef with SA's ALOD.

[QUOTE=Lord Kuat]I should also say though that Ebaum is much, much worse than SA, and is harmful overall, while SA is not. I just have a beef with SA's ALOD.[/QUOTE]No, I agree with you - the ALOD isn't funny. But Lowtax doesn't like it when they do that sort of thing. If you flood/spam/disable an ALOD and admit to it on the forums, you will get banned. Just because the average user does it doesn't mean it's supported by the whole or by Lowtax. Plus the main page audience is a much different and much larger group of people than the forum members.

I don't find ALOD's funny too. Often they make me go "what the ****?!" or just hang my head in shame of what's on the internet. There isn't much that Something Awful can do if some random schmuck stumbles on an ALOD and then spams it too death. If said schmuck is a forum member, then yes, like Jon'C said, they will be banned.

What is ALOD?

Awful Link of the Day

Is that what they call plausible deniability?

Fair enough.

Also, anyone who tries to organize forum invasions on the SA forums gets banned from SA.

Unless, as mentioned, the target is a pedophile.
