Sleazy, explain to me what is "good and reputable" about maliciously attempting to shut down someones server by img srcing from their site?

I don't know who the owner of crazygals.com is and frankly it really doesn't matter much but if you look at the gallery url that was 404'd and change the index numbers you can see that he is likely using some sort of autosubmitter judging by how the buttons are laid out on the page and the numbering system

examples:
http://crazygals.com/gal/050320022/index115.html
http://crazygals.com/gal/050320022/index117.html

Those are the gallery URL's preceding and following the one that was 404'd

My best guess is that the owner of crazygals fucked up somehow and the gallery was 404'd. But for sake of arguement let's assume that crazygals did do something to cheat elephantlist in some way. That still does not give him the right to do what he did.

This is Hoffman's MO too as he has done this in the past. Whether or not he may be a good guy to other or if he has boatloads of traffic none of that really matters.

Let's say you owned a store and one of your suppliers fucked you over in some way. That doesn't give you the right to set his offices on fire does it? Bad analogy maybe, but hell its late here LOL.

All I am saying is that what he did is flat out wrong and it not only effected the intended recipient but other sites as well as GFY felt the brunt of this attack.
