Happened to me a long time ago, but it happened for a couple of times, and then it never came back. And the "chill" thing is overused... by me... (get it?)

EDIT* And if I'm allowed to ask, why did Burneriza get banned?

Happened to me as well. It's been going on and off this afternoon. I lost two posts because of it.

Being very rude to BiggAdd.

Honestly, why would someone act so childish as to do such a thing? Humans are hard to understand sometimes, glad I'm a robot.

Yeah, it's a pain. Been happening all day long, too. It sucks working in DBP and not being able to search the forum for tips and such. If it's not a flood, it's extremely coincidental considering what he posted earlier.

It was actually us, the FLO (Forum Liberation Army) that brought the forum down. No doubt others, such as Burneriza, the Forumban, and Forum bin Laden will claim responsibility as well. It's only to be expected when a disruption of this magnitude occurs.

Who's Burneriza? The name sounds familiar for some reason.

And how could a user who's been banned be able to disable the forums for everyone? Just curious.

True. It just seems like it would be way more trouble than it's worth. And it would definitely explain why this Burneriza character got banned.

That way he can't get the coding for the site.

Is it wrong to request a link to see what this Burneriza guy said about hacking because he was banned? I'm just a little curious. I missed a lot yesterday due to the lack of interwebs, it seems.

Wow, well some times when slapping someone anit good enough, you must walk carrying a a 2x4 to where-ever it is they live, only stopping to eat and sleep all the while having a constant unamused, tired looking expression. Once you finally reach there house, ring the doorbell and turn that 2x4 into two 2x2's.

But yeah lol, wow.

Its crashed once for me.

It was down for a while the other day, guess the kid got angry because the mods told him to behave. Not smart to go around threatening people and hinting at hacking.

Yeah. He was WAY overreacting. Completely out of bounds, and all because he thought BiggAdd shouldn't hang around other forums besides 3D Chat...I don't understand how somebody can be so ignorant as to talk to a moderator that way. Then again, stupidity seems to be a growing disease these days. *sigh*

What a ponce, trying to big talk to the moderators with blackmail. At least he was stupid enough to claim he had the option to down a site and then msn brag.

On the plus side, at least he didn't bother/know how to down the main site and the TGC shop.

It happened in my area. I'm using Road Runner. After looking at the time he was banned, it was sometime after that that I couldn't get back on. Message said it could be too busy or it is down.

I know... and the funny thing is we were all given an opportunity to have custom titles (which some of you may have noticed over the Christmas holidays), so in reality BiggAdd could be called anything: "BiggAdd, the people's mod"

Your signature has been [mod edited] :-p

BiggAdd is def one of my fav mods, so is KeithC even though he once banned me for about 1 hour (i mailed him so he just noob slapped me)... However that might be because those 2 mods are the only one i have actually had contact with on these forums XD

Burneriza thinks he looks tough in the internet when threatning people... that may work in real life, but that will only get you laughs in the magic place called "the Internet". Why did he think, that mods can't come to other sections? It's like, if I own a copy of FPSC, but no DBPro, then I can't go to that section, wich I do sometimes, for fun, you know.

Well, if a 2 meter long bodybuilder comes up to you to say that, then I think it would work. Also it would work if you look like this:
