iirc some super-mad handicap is ddosing it up
p sure its okiver
if you guys paid attention you should've known that the forum is progressively getting slower and slower.
it's definitely a botnet and the only friend i can think of is okiver.
my theory: okiver is ddosing the forums with a small botnet at first, as he gets more and more RAT'd victims he adds them to the botnet and has the new victims attacking the forums, making it progressively slower with each new victim.
