The shut down and hired bots. An idea?

[RJB]

Just for fun, I'm going to go through my lists on Facebook, forums, etc. and see if any of my prolific "friends" suddenly quit posting on the first of October when the shut down began.

A more paranoid person than myself might wonder if the site was slammed with the most massive DDOS attack yet on October First to provide cover for spudea. Oh, he didn't come around during the shutdown because he thought the site was defunct...

It's a bot. That department's electric bill isn't due until next month.

When the shutdown happened Ron Paul Forums went down for me for a whole day I thought maybe it really is a government FBI honeypot.

I just got a message saying there was a database error.

It seems people ridiculous to me a site w/ 25 regular posters is under attack. Our deceased list is longer. WTF

The stupid attackers probably don't like people being able to read all the posts that have been posted throughout the years.

Either the bill's overdue or we've been blessed by a bug.
