    Whether DDoS or dmca either way I hope it keeps up for a long time. the more people need to check what happens the more people will see the brilliant pr of @Qidian on the forums here.

    The more people know what qidian has done the better.

    There is probably someone with the know-how. This is a big community and there is a high likelyhood there will be "that guy" in our group here.

    do you know how easy it is to pay someone to DDOS, doing it yourself isn't even that much harder...

    The only way qidian would die, would be if they finally realized there is no way they are going to make as much money as they thought, and they decide to give up.

    DDoS is one of the least complicated attacks out there. You can have one done just by knowing where to buy access to a botnet.

    I wonder what crap Qidian will give us this time since their site is down for now.

    People keep saying that it's being DDoSed, but maybe they are just changing something major to the website or something? like an update.

    Doesnt matter getting counter DMCA or DDOSedbor any other reason. I'm just happy they're down.

    And now hoping they stay down until the legal matters are done.

    Then wouldn't they have an "In maintenance" type of page? Even WW does that to not incite mass panic.

    We're just hoping is DDoS. Although with how much crap will float to the surface from googling them atm, it's highly unlikely this is planned down time.

    Or maybe they were copy and pasting so much so quickly that their site crashed.

    if they would change something on their website and don't announce a downtime to the user then the IT-Department is on the same level as their PR Department
