Whats the point?

[SK]

The Steam Users Forum is down as we ride out a external network problem (a Denial of Service attack). Thanks for your patience -- we'll be back up soon.

I mean really what is gained from doing this?

Steam forums are down?










So?

Im just saying whats the point in DDoS attacks. What does it achieve?

I think its down to a group of WON users who havent moved to steam. Kind of their protest about WON closing down.

A gang of Anti-Steam hackers attempt to presuade "Steamers" to stop using Steam? Dunno. Valve is busy trying to built up defense to prevent the DDoS Attacks...

Steam Forums has the biggest collection of idiots. Ever.

Steam Forums has the biggest collection of idiots. Ever. You should see the "Action for Employment" office on the second floor of my work building. I would in the circumstances, beg to differ!
