Spam from competing site

[IAmShaman]

He would really take down his own site, just to frame a competing website for DDOSing it? Wooow. This is getting more than just immature, this is like full-on retard.

Lol! Even mentioning this forum on his twitter account is enough for people to come here and have a look, where they'll learn the REAL story.

Thanks for the free advertising lol!

LOL. I doubt if he took his site down and blamed us. My guess is that his site was taken down by the host for all the spam he's been doing (explains why he locked his twitter account), or there was simply server issues/network issues that forced his site offline. His site is back up and it seems to be on the same host. It's a host that does not provide ddos protection so I doubt it's ddos which caused it to go down.

Here you go guys. Do you want confirmation that OUYAForum did not DDOS Oscars site?

Oscar's site was taken down because I emailed his hosting provider and reported his spamming. It was NOT due to ddos attack like Oscar and Stark claim. Here is a copy of the email I received back from his old host (000webhost.com).

I am emailing you to report a major spam attack by one of your clients. It is the client behind the domain name http://********. He has been spamming via email, forum posts, and forum PMs. Please see attached.

So there you have it. His site is down due to spam, because I reported it as well as I am sure others.

Aw I was one of the top posters over there

what if he has screenshots of all the spam which was on his website advertising these forums? can he retaliate? Eddie said his intentions were to run alongside this site... I dont want a war

[Stark]

So far it's just a threat. It won't actually happen unless he spams us again, continues the ddos attacks, or makes up lies about us and posts them publicly. I've given him the option. Trust me I don't want to post it, but if he doesn't stop ddos'ing us and spamming our site I don't really have any other option to try and stop this kid.


Please explain to me how you know it was a DDOS attack. From his claim, he was being DDOS'ed, but his site never switched hosts from what I can tell. The current host he is on does NOT provide any sort of DDOS hosting/filtering, so that would mean that the DDOS attack lasted one hour. I run many websites and have never had an attack on a site last any less than 12 hours. Not that it is not possible, but usually the host will not even put the site back up for 12 hours (let along a cheap shared host like he's on).


Honestly if I had things my way, Oscar will simply continue to run his website, without the spam, and illegal strategies to take out other OUYA related websites. I have not desire to post his private information. It was a threat so that he would stop his childish attacks on our site. For all of our benefit, I hope that he discontinues what he has been doing, and his site can join the other OUYA related fan sites, as one that is respected.

Thanks
Ed

That doesn't make it right at all! You have bad intentions with the release of this guys address, which makes it somewhat illegal.

I know it a fairly safe assumption to assume that the spam and DDOS attacks were him, but are you able to prove it? I cant prove that the 5 accounts spamming this site were you, so I believe you if you say they werent but you're being very biased. He did apologise profoundly.. and has clearly stopped. it's bullying now

remember how dirty mark zuckerberg was in his early days, look where he is now! this seems reminiscient.

[MajorProbes]

This whole situation is boring me now. Oscar leaves us alone and that's the end of it simple.

Can we drop the convo now?
