The most popular “instant play” style website besides YoYoGames, GMArcade, has been under attack and is once again looking to upgrade their servers.
“First of all, I would like to apologize to you for todays downloading and online play downtime. We had someone continuously download a file over 125,000 times. This is also why the server seemed slow yesterday. The “hackers” ISP has been notified of their server abuse.”
Matthew Kremer
The site now contains 50 games, and the site is continually being developed with one of the more recent additions being a blog feature.
Why does somebody even want to take them down?
Has anybody here actually tried Osakit?
Teehee, your Java .class files are belong to us.
osakit would cost money for gmarcade. I thought it looked cool though.
http://gamesforfree.net/ uses Osakit. GMA though doesn’t seem to do the best of jobs with embedding. I be looking at his .class files and… =/
I wouldn’t mention Games for Free; it doesn’t seem like that project is going to be revived anytime soon. In the meantime, I hold the license.
Just an example; I see no other sites using it.
It’s not using it right now.
This is a rival website. I want to steal it’s code and destroy it. I will continue my spree of GMArcade.com slowdowns.
Well, if you actually are the hacker, you’re pretty much screwed buddy. You didn’t cover it up at all, and I’ve already contacted your ISP. Want proof? You live in Meriden, CT, and have been with SBC Global since 2004.
As for this blog post, I’m glad it is a lot less hostile than the last one. And we are not necessarily looking to upgrade our servers quite yet, as we redid the icon system which was the main reason for the slow down.
We have also redid the main page and added categories, feel free to check it out!
You seriously need to redo that design though.
Also hacker, fail less and proxy more.
I know, I am negotiating with a graphics designer.
