Site Wars: There's a link on Metafilter to a forum on Something Awful. Bandwith jumps and the SA crew launch not only a DOS attack on Metafilter, but cyberstalks the Mefi member who wrote the original post. There's more fun though. Call out on the OP for linking to a site asking for subscriptions (because Metafilter never links to places like The New York Times online, phfft), raw AP photos from an insider being posted, exploded hands, forum bans. It's a grab bag of wank.

Bonus snark in comments in a post linking to another SA post.

So that's why I can't get to AxMe. Damnit, I want more consolation about getting chicken pox!

MeFi (and MeTa and AskMe) has been up and down all the time for over a month now, well predating the "DDOS" attack. I'm not sure we can blame SA for all this.

Do people do such things when they get slashdotted, too? I mean, I can understand getting angry, but revenge always strikes me as rather foolish.
