Site outage update

[RebeccaMumsnet]

Hi everyone,

First and foremost: sorry for the loss of usual service over the last few hours.

To explain what's been going on: shortly after 10pm last night, we started receiving a large amount of spurious (i.e. automatic, rather than human) traffic. This is known in the trade as a denial of service attack: one in which a person, or organisation, deliberately floods a website with requests for pages, with the intention of overwhelming its servers and preventing bona fide users from accessing the site.

It goes without saying that we're doing everything we can to repel borders and keep the site up and running. We'll post on our social channels with any further updates (we're over here on Facebook and Twitter, if you don't follow us already), and in the meantime, thanks, as usual, for bearing with us.

MNHQ

I think he was expecting lots of tweets, media attention and chaos on the fourms.

Maybe even a plea from Justine herself?

Too bad Jeffery, Mumsnet does not negotiate with twatorists.

This is about the time that the hacker went native

He does know what Friday nights are on MN, doesn't he?

He was expecting chaos, instead he got swearing and saveloys.

PS: saveloy dip is so bad for you but so good

I do wonder what MN has done to offend him. If he's not a teenager is he the DH of a PBP with a grudge?

Just seems a really odd thing to do. Must be time consuming too.

He wanted us to be outraged at the outrage.

Bless him.

Big wiener LOL

That would be DH

Wieners, frankfurters and hot dogs are all the same thing where I come from.

Anyway, Bake Off is on now, so he can hack in peace for the next hour.

'Twatorists'

I thought Jeffrey was a lame pedant hacker. There are some really obvious typos and homophone cock-ups further upthread that he missed. I bet his Mum has to rewash the pans when does the washing up too.

What was the 'big surprise'?

I think Jeffrey might have "mummy issues". He just needs stricter boundaries, an earlier bed time and a big cuddle.

I believe Saveloys are made of minced ears, feet and scrotums, an the skin is made of plastic. But hot dogs (it says on the tin) are made or mechanically recovered chicken sludge.

I did hot dogs for a thing at the weekend, but I used real German Bockwurst from Aldi, made of pork meat.

Is Jeffrey interested in cooking?

If Jeffrey thought that we were going to be all pearl clutching about the word "faggot", he doesn't know MN very well do you think he meant to target the Other Place?

Note to self: never eat a saveloy again.

"What is a weiner?"

A wiener is a big saveloy/frankfurter/call it what you will

Someone needs to namechange to "CalmDownJeffrey". Awesome nickname.

He now appears to be wearing a chicken packaging polystyrene thingy on his face as a mask. I do hope he's given a rinse. Wouldn't want him to get salmonella

Or "JeffreysLittleSaveloy" :o

Was just thinking that - hope he's rinsed it carefully and washed his hands. His mum isn't going to be happy he's fished it out of the bin.

Eww Thankcred. I don't want to be reminded of his little saveloy.

Did some call?

I introduced saveloy and it ran is proud

Poor old Jeffery, got rejected by Anonymous so he tried to start his own 'circlejerk', only no one came.

Now he's just there, jerking on his own.

Probably while watching Hentai.

:o Calmdown.

FruSirkaOla Thank you :)
