    Just a heads-up in case we disappear too, there's a massive DDoS attack happening that has knocked a lot of major sites offline:

    Things like this can have knock-on effects as other systems become overloaded, so far we seem OK so fingers crossed we stay that way.

    Donald Trump found the "any Key" and keeps pressing it

    Donald Trump is too stupid to find his own reflection.

    He's probably asked Russia to turn off the internet because all that information and access to his quotes is killing his poll numbers.

    Careful, or he'll have the Russkis "acid-wash" this site.

    The attack is also affecting the voting system for ARIN. Elections for the ARIN Board of Trustees opened yesterday. We got word today that the voting system is down due to a DDoS attack. Makes me wonder if they were the primary targets. ARIN (American Registry for Internet Numbers) is the institution that manages many aspects of the world wide internet network, including the allocation of the IP address space, which is pretty much depleted. Someone must have their IP assingment reclaimed. LOL

    I've heard that it only affects Sites that encourage that Boy talk, Shower Room Banter, and stuff that comes from immature 59 year olds.

    I'm surprised some of you here don't believe that Trump follows this site to get his news
