DoS attack on Hosting Matters took IMAO down and a number of other poltical blogs. Michelle Malkin has the details (she always has the details first; hmm…).
What’s the point of these attacks? We’re down a couple hours, and then we’re just angrier.
Anyway, make sure to tell everyone you know to visit IMAO and buy lots of merchandise; it’s the only way to show the terrorists you won’t be intimidated.
So does this count as the first attack against the 101st Fighting Keyboardists?
They can’t handle not being FIRST!!!!!
Uh huh. Angier. Why do I get the feeling I’m going to get offered as a scapegoat?
“Maybe if we get rid of the JOOOOOOOOOO they won’t take us down again?”
I thought perhaps spacemonkey had posted the Carnival of Comedy and it was too much of teh funny for the server to take.
/couldn’t resist, sorry spacemonkey

I guess they didn’t know about IMAO’s secret weapon. Send out Chomps! Sic ’em, boy!
I think this does count, Frank. Time to bust out the big guns.
actually for a period every hosting matters site was down according the emergency board. I still haven’t figured out why that site is always up even when everything else is down. Supposedly it wasn’t actually hosting matters that was down, but the pipeline to and from, and so they had to simply wait for it to be fixed with the rest of us.
Did you stop and consider that perhaps this was the work of someone other than the lefties and terrorists?
If you ask me, this looks like the handiwork of ManBearPig!
Yep, ManBearPig.
It was doubtlessly the pussychickens or their “freedom fighter” friends.
Where are the l33t haxx0rs with mad skillz on our side? Time for a little “Operation Enduring Freedom II – Revenge of the Blogosphere”!
Welcome back. Looks like everybody’s gradually coming back online, but Lileks and Vodkapundit are still down. Is everybody on my blogroll really on Hosting Matters?
Master Shake, I’m thinking the same thing. Time to deploy the Fighting Chickenhawks.
Hey Frank… no thanks for me???

has details.
What do you expect when you hurt the feelings of sensitive jihadis? I think that if you have the right to say what you want to say, they should have the right to kill innocent civilians, hack off the heads of Wall Street Journal reporters, and shut down the blogs they don’t like. I mean, it only seems fair.
Speaking of blogs the jihadis don’t like, I’m surprised they didn’t go after blogs like DailyKos or DU seeing as how much… they… disagree… (thoughtful pause) Oh, I get it now.
Perhaps Hosting Matters needs to use the “human shield” system of arranging sites on servers so that when the jihadis target conservative blogs with DDOSes, they end up taking down Islamic charity sites, jihadi discussion forums, and lefty CCindy Sheehan-style sites get taken down with them?
Awaiting marching orders, Commander J! How do we retaliate? I like Master Shake’s idea. Operation Hackback! Unfortunately I’m not a l33t haxx0r with mad skillz.
As far as precisely who do we retaliate against goes, I think you spelled that out pretty well in Nuke The Moon. We just attack someone at random.
Not totally at random, I hope.
I mean, I don’t think that I would like to be nuked.
Well, maybe if I got some nifty super powers out of it, or something.
Master Shake, the chances of Frank J picking your name out of the hat is pretty small. Relax.
And the name i have selected is… reaches into hat
Master ss… something
Master Shake! You’re getting Nuked
~Frank J
So glad you’re back. After all a day without IMAO is like a day without sunshine. Seriously if I were a l33t haxx0r with mad skillz or a mutant with super powers I would avenge y’all. As it is all I can do is say Welcome Home, and boycott all jhadists everywhere.
Boycott jihadists? Can we bitchslap jihadists?
Wow, down again for a while.
Curse you, ManBearPig!
Jihadists are cowards.
Chris said If you ask me, this looks like the handiwork of ManBearPig!
Yes. It. has. to. be. ManBearPig. I’m serial.
Excelsior!
