How bad do you think the raids will get?

[BlueAltitude]

Do you think we will end up like that other site that got shut down by chan?

This really stinks, i am even afraid to go to the chan site to see if they have anything..

That is why I refuse leaving this guild now. The GCD is no longer safe =/  

[Salmay]

I hope not...

Gaia is pretty big, though. Would be nice if the admins shared more with what is going on.

i agree, they definitely need to tell us things

Its a bit anoying, they spamed my art post. With images that my comp blocked any way. So it was just kinda stupid and anoying to me

If this continues for more than a day, we know we have a problem.
Then we can make this guild the GCD Reborn!! Yeahh... and have all the people join in and we'll have like an uber-awesome spam-free n00b-free GCD/guild ;D
Ah... that would be fun...

I just saw the announcement about how they're shutting down all non-photobucket images for the weekend; so hopefully this means the devs found a way to fix things.

So, it was a raid after all, dunno but after sometime of being in the internet the porn and all that other trolls just no longer have effect on me, I don't know if I should find that good or just sad

On the general topic of raids
and the like xD

Personally, I think their attempt is funny, if it
even is a Chan doing it.
From what I've heard, it's just people from gaia using the long cat items as
a scape goat and be like "lulz, it wuz 4chan"
Then there's the "No, it's /i/!"
"No, it's /b/!"
"No, it's 4chan!"
"No, 420chan!"
"No, it's newfags!"

Honestly. I don't care who's doing it, they're making everyone look like idiots xDD

Anyways, the raiding I don't care about. I was in the GD in 05-06, they had trolls post porn/gore pics daily. What the trolls are posting now is nothing new or more "disturbing."
The only thing new I've seen is the giant picture that's suppose to freeze your computer. Thing is, my computer/internet/whatever can handle it xD
All I see is some psychedelic picture that's pretty to look at.

The raids now aren't really anything new, or special, or panic inducing unless you let it be.

As for the shutting down of gaia, I somewhat doubt it.
I think you're talking about Subeta, which was owned by a pretty young kid.
Gaia is a money making corporation with sponsorships and the like.
I kindof doubt their systems are as easy to ******** with.
Not only that, but Subeta was a result of s**t security and that the passwords weren't encoded but listed. And people from gaia used the same password/username combo for gaia and subeta.
It's also rumored the owner gave them out to stop harassment.

Then there's the Scientology site that was shut down for a couple minutes.
(Or a day. I can't remember.)
But I don't think, and this I'm not 100% sure on, that their site was designed to handle that much traffic, or whatever it is they did.
Gaia is, with teams and servers and other techno mumbo jumbo.

Gaia shutting down images is due to scams from the sounds of it, not hacking, or raiding.
Because didn't they have a problem with people clicking links and being directed to a fake log in page?

But those forms of scams happen all the time, it may not even be a ******** a gaian user who wants to cheat and get money the easy way.



That's my take on the situation, from years of lurking this kindof stuff xDD

They can't do anything serious, because:

1. Anon doesn't care

2. 420chan is the only site really doing any thing to gaia

3. Gaia is smart

4. Gaia has lawyers

5. 420chan is obviously not smart (they registered their domain through godaddy rofl )

But, now that the images are disabled, we will get even better security because of this, so we can thank them for making Gaia more secure... :>

I think, we will probably get a system for PMs similar to that of Gmail, where it blocks images from a user, unless we say to allow it.
