I'm a gaiacigarette,
I must say, insulting gaiacigarettes brings lots of lulz.
You must try it. The things they say are highly hypocritical, ironic and simply stupid.
For example when this emo kid who in his signature had a picture of himself with red highlighted hair, doing an emo pose, and he had some knives in the background that he photoshooped in. He ends up telling me to go cut myself in a corner and cry because I am unaccepted by society.
Sounds like average gaian. This is why I stay in the GCD, they only bitch, not much else.
their raiding gaia
Out of interest, I hopped over to gaiaonline. I couldn't find a single thread by them, so either the raid is over or gaia is staffed well enough to manage it.
the most hardcore chan nerds don't even support raiding.
its just internet noobs. so dont encourage them by acting like they are some important people on the net doing cool things.
Yet we're afraid of them. O_o
About that, having never actually had an opportunity to belong to a community that was raided, I had a few questions. How do they keep a site down after they take it down initially? The scenario that I played out in my mind was:
1) People find something they don't like.
2) Flood of new members.
3) They attack. Either the forums are so spammed up that no one can post anymore and the staff can't deal with it or the server can't handle the load and the site goes down.
4) A week later everyone moves onto some other forum and all the old members come back here. No big deal.
My rationalization for it was that people would get bored and move on. It really takes a dedicated individual to log onto the same site every day and keep refreshing to take up their bandwidth, and an even more dedicated one to keep using proxies to register over and over after your initial accounts are banned. The hole in this theory is that they could either use macros to automate the registration process or use bots to sustain a DOS attack over a longer period of time.
The only one which I know was competely taken down was subeta, and that was only becuase, the creator of subeta insulted the channers where it got must channers to competely destroy the site.
And most of the reason you don't see anything on gaia's site, is becuase we have gotten over it, you only see topics when, a group tries a small image raid in the GCD, becuase thats where that kind of stuff goes, or when a group of channers come to phish, and the newbs who are very easily taken by this, will bitch about it.

I'm not, I'm just saying in total numbers, newcigarettes add up, and raid occurs, of course one has to see the site and bitch about it first.
Psst...Backup forums anyone?
Now this is why we are a smarter community.
I also noticed while browsing a chan wiki for no information, they have never taken down a the main forums for a game, plus the game itself.
