I still have a fantasy that someday we can send a reverse signal to the idiots who start this and make their computers and phones explode.

I'm still new here, what the theory behind why these people are targeting our little corner of the web? Just random attacks from bored miscreants?

mossad could probably sell us the tech but it won't be cheap.
but it would be effective.

If you're experiencing login/posting issues today, that's just me trying to keep up with our attackers.

Everything seems OK here so far. Note since the latest series of attacks a few weeks ago, 914World has been inaccessible for me via Safari on my iPad and iPhone. However, no problem accessing via Google Chrome on the same devices. Don’t know if anyone else is experiencing the same problem.

Already up to:
5555 guests, 42 members 3 anonymous members

I've been pretty successful in keeping them at bay in the last few weeks. Lets hope they don't figure out what i've been up to.
