Just chill. Someone will get Meiun, but hmm, this is probably the worst time for no mods to be on.

Well, they're not even posting pictures anymore. At anything, it looks like they either forgot how to post pictures, or that they died or something. So yeah, nothing I suppose until someone gets on to ban those IP ranges and then delete the topics or posts by them.

It doesn't matter. They've started to actually bump topics now, and they're still posting new ones.

Anyway, yeah, just wait until a mod comes to perma-ban their asses. I wouldn't be surprised if they frequently went on 4chan.

Well, when posts that are made on a topic, even an old one, once they are deleted the thread goes back to the time of last post(Before the revival post). Meaning that even if they did post on it, the topic wont be on the front page of that section once their posts are deleted. So it's fine actually.

Well, one of the topics said something about being spammed by ebaumworld.

Took a look at ebaumsworld, it's essentially a conglomeration of random shit. So yeah. I have no idea how raids fit in with that. O.o

Anyways, what I really meant is that each of these people may be users on Ebaumsworld and decided to go and spam post a website. Not really saying that the site itself launched an attack here.  :P

It should be all taken care of now. Really more a waste of their time than mine. Took literally about 10 seconds to clean up, but still extremely obnoxious and something we do not tolerate here. For future reference though, if anything like this happens in the future, please use the "report" button that you can find in any topic on the site. It will notify all the sites moderators via email of the post. If it is really an emergency you can also contact me via the (http://www.stick-online.com/images/email.png) email address (although I'd recommend starting with the report button, as that should work a bit better for most things that need to be handled quickly).
