Crash this server to help my team get 1000 points in a scavenger hunt.

facelessinvasion.com — The faceless invasion is a scavenger hunt throughout Montreal. One of the tasks is to crash their server, and I thought, what better way than to digg it? Please help us and make this site feel the digg effect.

  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+186Its down :)

    First Digg effect where nobody cares about the actual site or a mirror...
  • modpancake, on 10/12/2007, -1/+154Watch this be someone just trying to sabotage the real scavenger hunt. It's too late to do anything about it though.
  • schoate09, on 10/12/2007, -13/+154***** the RIAA.
  • kahrn, on 10/12/2007, -2/+120Why can't we do this to the RIAA?
  • thepolkapunk, on 10/12/2007, -2/+109Is this the new way to perform a DDOS?
  • Flashman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+102DDOS = Digg Denial Of Service?
  • macbookpromat, on 10/12/2007, -3/+94It's legit, the scavenger hunt is insane, they want us to have sex in an underground parking lot, catch a frisbee with our teeth, smash ***** on ourselves, man I can't believe the ***** they want from us.
  • AlphaPrime, on 10/12/2007, -2/+85So I guess duggmirror would defeat the purpose?

    And its still up at 3:30 CST.. its just slow
  • jonathantneal, on 10/12/2007, -14/+84So just out of morbid curiosity ... http://www.duggmirror.com

    HA.
  • victorguttmann, on 10/12/2007, -3/+65omg this is the greatest thing I've seen all week. I've got it reloading every 5 seconds for you.
  • NJank, on 10/12/2007, -1/+58exactly. with no further explanation, a story about a 'scavenger hunt', and a URL. Next time I have a disagreement with someone, I'll threaten to scavenger hunt their server. all you diggers shall be my mindless pawns... **mad laughter**
  • JeremyBanks, on 10/12/2007, -4/+60It looks like it's almost down. :P
  • HunterTV, on 10/12/2007, -7/+63This story has GOT to make it on Diggnation.
  • quomen, on 10/12/2007, -3/+57can you explain this to me,
    each team has their own server to crash??
    Or are u all trying to crash this same server?
  • TroubleInMind, on 10/12/2007, -1/+54Do they have wordpress running anywhere? That would melt it down in ten clicks.
  • bloaty, on 10/12/2007, -2/+53Everyone get the Reload Every Extension for firefox here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/115
    Then there will be a dropdown menu by the refresh icon, in that menu choose Custom.
    Next change the refresh time to 0min and 0sec!
    They will be down with just five helpful diggers!!!
    Digg this comment to get this server down!!!
  • TenebrousX, on 10/12/2007, -4/+54Opera users: right click on page -> Reload Every >
  • macbookpromat, on 10/12/2007, -1/+48Thanks to everyone who participated, team Human Probing Device thanks you and your awesomeness.
  • rcran, on 10/12/2007, -4/+51How will they know it was you?
  • rick2k, on 10/12/2007, -1/+48server down..

    mission accomplished
  • kayson, on 10/12/2007, -1/+46Totally dugg. I support crashing servers via digg.
  • macbookpromat, on 10/12/2007, -2/+44We have to call as soon as it's crashed.
  • hackajar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+41Anyone notice they are running the "leet" version of apache? (1.3.37)
  • modpancake, on 10/12/2007, -3/+44How will you prove that it's your team who crashed the server?
  • dignews, on 10/12/2007, -1/+41Now lets kill the next server that hits the home page!!!!!!
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+41f5 attack
  • macbookpromat, on 10/12/2007, -1/+39Yeah we got them, thanks!
  • IpHa, on 10/12/2007, -1/+39Rest in peace server, you put up a good fight.
  • elnerdo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+39I think that this is just someone trying to sabotage the hunt. The google Cache says that the REGISTRATION ends today! That means that the scavenger hunt hasn't started yet, and that these people are just trying to stop other teams from registering.
  • RAEP, on 10/12/2007, -1/+36sounds pretty ***** hot.
  • über, on 10/12/2007, -1/+32Who can stand before the might of the armies of Digg?
  • venir, on 10/12/2007, -2/+33How you gonna prove the sex thing?

    Pics or it didn't happen?

    :P
  • macbookpromat, on 10/12/2007, -2/+33God damn this thing has legs. I wasn't expecting it to be so strong.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+32So if I run an online business and I want some competition shut down for day, all I have to do is claim it's for a scavenger hunt?

    Diggers, be aware of the power you have in your left mouse button.

    The willingness to help that Diggers seem to have could also be abused, "Omg, company X screwed me out of Y!" Diggers attack company X, and I own company Z I get to sit back and enjoy my competition being smeared all over digg and popular forums.
  • PaddyTheChump, on 10/12/2007, -6/+35Firefox users, get http://reloadevery.mozdev.org/ to help crash it.
  • IpHa, on 10/12/2007, -2/+31Forbidden

    VICTORY!
  • Mikekuul, on 10/12/2007, -1/+29*grabs his torch and pitchfork*
  • macbookpromat, on 10/12/2007, -1/+28We called as soon as I got the 403 error, I triple checked in all 3 of my browsers, it's broken.
  • Brian48216, on 10/12/2007, -1/+26Dug for sheer ingenuity.
