DIY:happy gets pwnd!
Many of you probably noticed that DIY:happy was down most of Sunday and Monday morning. It seems it’s summertime and the script kiddies are out of school and bored. According to our host, they see all sorts of these problems around June of every year.
We took steps to ensure that we can respond quicker next time, and hope to continue smooth operations in the future. Let’s just see this as a sign of how big and awesome we are - DIY:happy got targeted by a script kiddie!
P.S. This is unrelated and top secret. DIY:happy is now rewarding regular commenters by removing the nofollow tag from links in their comments after they have reached a certain number of comments. We will try this out, but if it attracts more spam we will shut it off. Shhhh!!! Don’t tell anyone and don’t abuse it!

what is a script kiddie? i’m not following you…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Script_kiddie
In hacker culture, a script kiddie (occasionally script bunny, skidie, script kitty, script-running juvenile (SRJ), or similar) is a derogatory term used for an inexperienced malicious cracker who uses programs developed by others to attack computer systems, and deface websites. It is generally assumed that script kiddies are kids who lack the ability to write sophisticated hacking programs on their own,[1] and that their objective is to try to impress their friends or gain credit in underground cracker communities.[1]
Is th person who originally wrote the script a script daddy?
