ddosed != hacked

well for the average guy I think you consider any attempt to lay down a site, hacking.

Its not hacking, but it is a major issue.

Hope they catch the fucker doing it.

haha funny shit

I dunno, I still kinda think the whole thing is all hype (BS).

There is something not right about that site, when it was on ebay at one stage the bid was over $ 150.000.00 and then the final bid was something like $ 40.000

Not to mention the fact that he says he's from england..... but yet the FBI is investigating the attempted hack?

Yes there is something not right about that site, some things just dont add up.

well is the host in the US? could be why the FBI is involved.

Its just another publicity attempt to keep the hype up, possibly for partners involved etc. Kind of like your average GFY thread.

yea, no kidding, probably made up so he can get even more news coverage...

It looks like his site is hosted in the US.

read the blog you twat. it's all explained

jealousy is funny

it's hosted in the US, hence the FBI

try using your brain once a day at least

what is it with the million dollar homepage that brings out all the haters?

you're a loser and you'll never make a million dollars in your life. hurts don't it?

Page rank zero now?

I am not jealous you fuckhead, if you read my blog i have written good things about the site, i was just wondering why it had dropped, so go fuck yourself you shithead.

I guess if he's paying $5/gig overage on his little virtual account he's going to have a bit less money now. :Graucho

100% agreed!!!

seems ok to me now

so fucking right!
:thumbsup

Unless he comes up with something, it's all downhill from here on.

yargh welcome to teh interweb :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

he might burn his 1,000,000$ on security and firewalls.

:2 cents:

Try getting off the guy's nuts and doing a little more research into the matter, tool :321GFY

Dude ... every ebay auction that's high profile gets tons of fake bids.

rofl ... the host is most likely a US host...

The site has alexa rank of like 120 for all the dumbass talking shit . He's done massive views with the press. Kudos to him, it won't happen again for a while... medias love theses storse once in a while, and they picked up this one .

For all the stupid fuckers trying to make their own million dollar home page ... WTF ?!? Are you fucking dumb ?

That's unfortunate...

Yep I agree his gold is not the page but being the first who came with this easy idea. And it was worth for this lucky guy!

what do you think ? :upsidedow

Exactly, actually I'd even say that his success has nothing to do with his idea, it happend only because he already knew how to play the media, and most likely he already had or built up the media connections a long time before he built the site itself. Most likely he would have been as successful with a sandwitch that looks like the pope or something like that.

Just to copy the idea now is a waste of time IMHO

Wrong. Things snowball really easily online. Dozens and dozens of media companies have people whose only job is to sift through piles and piles of shit looking for interesting talking points, products and events that will give 60 seconds worth of laughs on prime time or fill up talking points on radio. I've been interviewed by tech tv, on US radio etc purely from having an interesting website. All it takes from there is for other media to see it on the initial researching media and it becomes a real story. This guy would have had dozens of unsolicited media inquiries in his inbox every day.
The media NEEDS these type of stories to sell ads on.. He doesn't NEED to manipulate the media any more.. he's already got the maximum amount of money out of it.

Really? If it's that easy then I'm gonna do that too next week, thanks for the tip :thumbsup

Well, you've got to first come up with an idea people want to talk about :)

still down here...

you're so fucking dumb I lose brain cells just reading your posts

People need to learn about respect. Theives and hackers deserve a special place in that Hot place down south. I'm not talking about Florida.
