I'm rooting for the Dutch.

Down with the Spammers!

Looks like I'll have to join in too. I hate spammers.

From what I read they are both spammers?

new.vogue.nightmare · Postby **new.vogue.nightmare** » Mon Nov 24, 2003 7:56 pm

No, I think the Dutch are just people who are pissed at the spammers so they do some simple DDOS attacks. *chortle* Sorry, DDOS makes me think of funny stuff which I may not be allowed to post on this forum. XD

it mentions in the first paragraph the Bloggers getting "a taste of their own mediciene"

Yes, they were DDOSed back by the spammers.

Solfius · Postby **Solfius** » Mon Nov 24, 2003 8:20 pm

so they ARE both spammers?

I think what Oni is trying to say is that the Dutch Bloggers were using the same techniques that the Spammers were using. Fighting fire with fire.

rite, so I know what spam is, what's blog? Just to see what the difference is

Blog has nothing to do with spam. Blog is like an online journal or something close to that. Bloggers are a community of people who are connected by links or by a network. So pretty much a huge database of journals.

that's what I thought, although I didn't know about the linking bit.

So they just got annoyed and sent a little script of their own back?

From what I gather,
1. The spammers inundated one of the blog sites.
2. The irate bloggers ran some scripts to DDOS the spammers.
3. The spammers DDOSed back.
4. The heroic bloggers hit them with an even more massive DDOS, causing many troubles for the spammers.
