[Rin]

Haha, I saw that! :)

[Pikey]

So much for the old low key approach to MBing... 8|

[Fleecy]

Please god, no more traffic. I can't take it. I'm being forced to do actual work to keep myself entertained.

[Schwarz]

DAMN YOU PREPARED. If this site keeps going down I don;t know what I am going to do at work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Skuggomann]

HaHa, what is that? you want moar trafic?

[Sarduci]

Wow, ask your hosting provider to setup an extra fan in front of the server!

[Pippin]

lol. Damn I was hoping to post this one first. Now the influx of haters and "You have no life" will come even more.

[Caspian]

Lol my wife just emailed me the link from yahoo. I told her remember when I said I was bored at work because my forums were down? It was because of that article, thank you very much.

she only single boxes, i need to fix that.

[Toned]

LOL i saw that and was liek WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW... LOL ROFLERZ no wonder i can't log on this site for shit in the last week. It keeps crashing from the OMG pew pew pings we're getting from all over the world.

[KSboxers]

Update: It's been reported that shortly after seeing this article on yahoo, a really fat guy at the top of the Blizzard Corp tower requested to have new barrels of money brought in for him to roll around naked in.

[Jheusse]

And I can think of one member of this forum whose first reaction to seeing that link was "Damn! I wish I had bought another 75 computers so that article would have been about me! Then I could do my standard pose and preen schtick."

Evil of me to think that way I know.

Look on the bright side, they did the absolute minimum homework required to get the name right, so Bradster's not inhaling abuse anymore.

"and manages raids"

I wasn't aware that Prepared had raided with his full multiboxing setup. Am I completely out of the loop or is this a case of "creative news"?

[Vyndree]

I hate people who call themselves journalists and don't actually do ANY research.

I mean, I went over and re-read Bradster's news post about Prepared and it's VERY clear that he's not even level capped yet -- and while he's considering raids it says nothing about actually doing or even attempting them.

I'm not belittling Prepared here -- leveling that many chars SHOULD take a long time and I'm looking forward to seeing what can be achieved in the endgame -- but poor news reporting leaves me disappointed. Particularly since people will believe it and potentially REFERENCE the false information -- spreading further miscommunication.

[Suvega]

I for one despise our 2 mentally retarded posterchildren.

[zanthor]

What blows my mind is Yahoo didn't even cite the source of the original story right... they cred Joystiq... who of course did a copy/paste of somewhere, but they don't cite where they got it either... they DO have a crapload of random links in the text one of which comes here...

Yahoo in fact doesn't even link dual-boxing, which frankly I'm happy for because I miss the site ;).

[Xzin]

I never got any front page of Yahoo when I extensively theorycrafted 40 boxing :(

[Ellay]

That's cause your all mine Xzin.. mmm pancakes!

[Ellay]

Yahoo in fact doesn't even link dual-boxing, which frankly I'm happy for because I miss the site ;). This is actually an extremely good thing until I can find a permanent solution to handle the Digg effect etc. A dedicated server will only last so long until someone comes out with an article about how a multiboxer created a robot that is the next president. Then were done for!!

[Xzin]

Errr.... lol ?

[Skuggomann]

That's cause your all mine Xzin.. mmm pancakes!
O yea Xzin w/ pankakes, that souns so nice!



With my 1337 sk1lz0r5 i have found a pic of it:

[Meeo]

Can we get like a backup website and forum for when we do loose our forums and dont have to actually work?!?!?! like secret hush hush! lol

[Ellay]

Ya it's on a backup server as well, and can upgrade hardware on the fly :)

[Nepida]

DAMN YOU PREPARED. If this site keeps going down I don;t know what I am going to do at work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Heh yeah.

[merujo]

nice :thumbup:

[Bena]

@Prepared: dude.. you should capitalize on this craziness.. write a how-to guide and sell it. With all the publicity you're gonna make a killing.. hehe

[zanthor]

Just FYI Ellay, www.dual-boxing.com is resolving to a different IP than just ol dual-boxing.com... the lack of WWW makes it work for me...

May be replication time, but sure frustrated teh shit out of me :).

[Ellay]

what do you mean? right now it switch to a new server, so the old server is redirecting to the new one. Did it not load for you ?

[Xzin]

@Prepared: dude.. you should capitalize on this craziness.. write a how-to guide and sell it. With all the publicity you're gonna make a killing.. hehe

You mean, something like this?

Multiboxing Wiki - My 5 (Now 10!) Boxing WoW Writeup ('http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=410')

That I gave away for free :)

[Sam DeathWalker]

Ya see I 24 box EQ for a year and don't make the big time news, if I had done WoW it would have been different.... Oh well, it is what it is.

[Zub]

It's ok, it's ok /comfort.
just remember you got an awesome website and he doesn't.

[Xzin]

C'mon Sam let's be fair. You caused quite a stir on quite a few message boards.

[Prepared]

More assumptions... if you wanted to know my website, you could have asked... :)

[Aethon]

Yahoo keeps calling you a "he," honestly, I thought you were a girl because of your avatar. I see you've since changed that, though.

Oh well, I'm usually fooled by such things, like in game when guys play girls and get upset that I say "she" or "her," or that 18 year old girl on the internet that wanted to meet, hang out, drink natty light and play game cube, or that girl on the corner of that one street in the city. You know, the one with the Adams Apple.

[Schwarz]

I don't think there would be any arguements over who has won the media coverage race between Prepared/Sam. Sam step up your game and get on CNN I think this is the only way you can win at this point.

[Zub]

lol i was only being a sarcastic smart ass. I don't usually call a freak in a loincloh 'awesome' ;-)

Zub, we want to keep these forums a civil place. Please tone it down a bit.

[suprafro]

i lol'd @ prepared's new avatar

[Moorea]

just remember you got an awesome website and he doesn't.LOL !!!!

[Prepared]

Same will not be winning the most characters of WoW nor the highest levels with the most. He just doesn't know it yet :)

There you go! I've stepped up the game for him and me!

[Sam DeathWalker]

Time will tell, but ya I am the underdog at the moment.
