I personally fell for this because I read about 3 lines of the article before replying, I was pissed. As I said, I should've read through it all first.
However, It was not out of the realm of possibility since this (((TheJester))) douchebag has been nipping at every single layer of the architecture trying to take us down (CloudFlare, domain registrar, DDoS'ing us, etc.). The perfect opportunity for a trolling, that's for sure, but it's also the most likely time that we would actually be taken down.
We are getting DDoS'd right now, haven't you noticed how slow the BBS is loading everything if not timing out entirely? Falling for the illusion that the DS can somehow never be compromised is way dumber than believing that we were already compromised.
