DDoSing Frogatto

When I heard from the Frogatto team that iPhone sales (and even the free downloads for computer) were doing poorly I began thinking of ways I could help (having done nothing else to contribute to the project thus far). The perfect plan came to me a few days ago after watching Notch bring down yet another indie game website.

And today, after three failed attempts, that plan came to fruition.

The poor server was down in, literally, under one minute from the first retweet. As I type this Ben (crimson_penguin) is working on getting a static page thrown up that will hopefully load faster for people than the blog is.

Edit: Two and a half hours later I was sent a graph of the aftermath.

  1. So, after the server was back online, did the sales of Froggato actually go up a notch?
