I've seen this happen sometimes, wondering what's going on at such a moment :eek: Massive ping timeout's from many users at the same time.... hmmm...

[franpa]

I've noticed yesterday that tons of people kept joining/quiting #AG which was VERY annoying because your messages are pushed off screen very quickly.

I assumed someone was trying to attack the server or flood it or something.

[KRD]

I can think of one thing all the people who pinged out there have in common... an unauthorised client. :p

[yakuza]

But none of them have any signs of using Snooper on that screen. Except ShyGuy, and it states so.

and they all pinged out in exactly the same second? 0o

The timeout message takes priority over the ProSnooper advertisement one, it's the one that's displayed when WormNet thinks you timed out, no matter what client you're on. No idea how ShyGuy escaped the purge, though.

Well, obviously something cut their connection with the server and the timeout quit message was displayed for them all the next time WormNet checked if they were still there. Whether it's ProSnooper that does it to save WormNet from getting stuffed with idlers or something the server does itself, I do not know. But I've seen it happen before and it never affects people connected through WA... you can tell from the nicknames of those left alive.

Bad ISP ?

[KRD]

Drunk cleaning lady tripping over half the wires leading into the temporary server?

[Plainplane]

DDOS attack? I know that somebody had attacked the FreeForums server yesterday.

Also, how could I access that log?

[Muzer]

He probably copied it from the lobby himself. Or maybe not.

I see, I just found it suspicious that only a couple of them have some sort of "using snooper" tag on their nicknames.

Also, how could I access that log?

Looks like IRC to me.

Times aren't shown in the lobby so he either snooped or used a IRC client.

yup, i just used prosnooper and copy/pasted the left window contents :P
