Anyone who posts on the IGN forums will now that they are having technical problems with their forums at this time.

It was said that a PM was being sent between some members titled 'How to crash IGN forums' and it was a long wall of text that when sent alot and posted alot caused the forums to crash.

Some people were saying that maybe it was members of...The Site That Shall Not Be Named...planning attacks on the forums and DDoSing it (whatever that means).

So, are people from...The Site That Shall Not Be Named... attacking us?

...Or is GameSpot just being glitchy...

What site that can't be named and why can't you name it? This isn't Harry Potter.

I doubt the anonymous group from that one site would attack gaming forums, but the IGN and GS forums becoming glitchy at the same time is rather strange...

Is IGN known to be glitchy or just ignorant? There is a reason GameSpot has the loving nickname of GlitchSpot, but IGN?

It's just a glitch, I can promise you this. The site that shall not be named would do something more offensive and childish then make us all post double posts.

EDIT: Holy crap my message didn't double post for once..

GS is acting up again from the looks of things. Typical. I wonder if GS and Ubi get their forum software from the same place though I think Ubi suffers more from hardware problems than anything else. Who knows.:|

Panic panic panic panic.

When in danger, when in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout.
