8:55am: Both Gay and Straight Gamers Like to Wank
GayGamer is a site that covers, you guessed it, news and stories relevant to the homosexual gaming population. Starting on Wednesday the site suffered repeated Denial of Service attacks and was eventually able to ban the IP that was causing them by Friday. Then on Friday evening the site's forums and chat room were flooded with more things meant to bog down the site, including hate speech, overlarge images and even death threats. This leads many to conclude that both the DOS's and the subsequent attacks are all part of one huge hate crime.

Kotaku and GayGamer have a history of sharing stories and working together. Flynn de Marco, who owns GayGamer, is also the weekend editor for Kotaku. Thus Kotaku decides to report about the attack.

And, of course, wank ensues. )

There's over 300 comments and the wank is still growing.

And PastepunkJames will wrap us up with this:
Well, I'd be worried, but knowing gaygamer, they'll only come back stronger and more fabulous.

UPDATE: GayGamer is up and running again and is indeed more fabulous then before. Just look at the picture at the top of the post if you don't believe me.

And Kotaku makes a post about GayGamer's recovery and of course there's wank there now as well.
