[QUOTE=Solo Wing;47171425]The shitstorm has found its way to Facepunch? I was beginning to wonder how long it would take. I wonder how long it will take them to give up and go home. :v:[/QUOTE] I bet they'll give up after a month.
Should we tell them how much Garry hates "that cat" and to post it on the forums?
Wait till Max joins in.
THE PAGE IS GONE. [editline]19th February 2015[/editline] DID WE ARCHIVE IT?
Dohohohohoho. This is all so delicious.
Asked what was the nature of the public info that was supposedly doxxed, was blocked. I don't know what I expected.
I've missed something great didn't I?

Spent the past 18 hours in the hospital getting work done on my knee. This was the perfect thing to come back to holy shit. Laughter is best medicine. I love you guys you fucking legends.
Garry FTW
Garry is ice cold
[QUOTE=Géza!;47171710]Garry is ice cold[/QUOTE] No, he's too busy spinning of his chair wondering what that would look like in rust with flapping dicks.
We just saw first hand how delusional people can be. The key to this gamer gate or whatever it is, is just to sit back and enjoy the ride. This event has given sane people the power to recognize the actual crazy people on the net, anywhere from ParkourDude to Brianna Wu. I for one think that when this is all over, it won't be about feminism or ethics in journalism, just about who the hell has all their marbles.
[QUOTE=Teddybeer;47171819]Get ready for the ride, she has linked to us.[/QUOTE] Facepunch is getting hacked again?
[QUOTE=CroGamer002;47171825]Facepunch is getting hacked again?[/QUOTE] No, but there are already 50 guests browsing the thread, so I'm sure you can see where this is heading.
Hi mom.
Did the site just go down or was that me? Is it happening?
It's not like we're some big fucking information hub anyway. This is literally just current event discussion and if people freak out about it they're overreacting.
are we being hacked by AGG again??
[QUOTE=Banned?;47171842]It's not like we're some big fucking information hub anyway.

If anyone shows up they'll be pissing in a sea of piss and the audience will just poke them with a stick until a mod bans them. :v:
[QUOTE=croguy;47171828]No, but there are already 50 guests browsing the thread, so I'm sure you can see where this is heading.[/QUOTE] I wonder will they create accounts and express their dissatisfaction. Should be fun.
[QUOTE=CroGamer002;47171848]I wonder will they create accounts and express their dissatisfaction. Should be fun.[/QUOTE] That isn't going to last long. Sadly.
[QUOTE=TurtleeyFP;47171835]Did the site just go down or was that me? Is it happening?[/QUOTE] I had no down time on my end.
I still don't understand how or why a discussion of bribery and corruption in gaming journalism turned into something that is being primarily billed as a feminist issue? I haven't taken much interest in the whole thing, so I must have missed where, exactly, that leap took place. Even NPR reported on this as being a feminist issue, and they have never, to my knowledge, intentionally misrepresented a story. So, this confusion obviously runs pretty deep.
can you guys stop panicking about ~getting hacked~ because a page takes some time to load, thanksss

We clearly don't.

A bunch of third wavers inserted themselves into the discussion for attention and/or monetary gain.

As well many anti-feminists within GG took the bait and engaged them over their radical feminist agenda, detracting from corruption in gaming media topic.
