My boss would tell me to apply the Smell Test for veracity.
Now why would IV shut down the entire system for a copyright violation on ONE board?
Something happened to the entire system. I don't believe in conspiracies. But:
- Look at the number of hits that board received every day. Both guests, members. (Even the booted-off lepers MikeyZonk and TuoraToots admitted to skulking it on a regular basis) Most, if not all, had serious finacial interests in DNDN.
- Look at the quality of the posters. Very little of the insanity of YMB. Excellent analysis/rebuttal of the "conference call" and "The Letter" disinformation campaigns.
- A constantly-touched network of calm, information, support.
Can you think of a single solitary target more valuable to the HFs to take down?
HFs live, breathe, die by the computer. These guys must know their programs, applets, servers, software, hardware, systems, nets, IT, networks AND the gurus and NajinskiKazinkis who COULD pull off something like what we are thinking.
Yeah, I think it was pre-meditated alright.
