Martin doesn't deserve this, but here's a true story from my other site, Vegascasinotalk.

Several years ago, a guy named Larry showed up (not the same guy as Larry Laffer, formerly of PFA). Larry had been banned from Wizard of Vegas, which is another advantage player forum where a lot of Vegascasinotalk people also have accounts.

Some psycho appeared and demanded I ban Larry. He had all kinds of gripes with Larry, and stated that he must also be banned on Vegascasinotalk because he was banned on Wizard of Vegas.

I countered that I give everyone a fresh start and do not worry about their issues on other forums. Also, Larry hadn't done anything particularly bad, was just banned over usual forum bullshit.

This didn't convince the guy. He gave me a deadline of a few days to remove Larry, or he would destroy my site.

I told him that I do not let anyone threaten or blackmail me into banning people, and banned this guy instead.

Of course, then he went to work trying to "destroy" my site. He made various DDoS attempts, all of which failed because of the defense software I wrote and had running. Then he started creating tons of accounts and started spamming the Vegascasinotalk forum.

I mass deleted the spam, and modified the software to detect his posting patterns, and auto-ban him when he attempted to spam. Of course, then he made new accounts and kept spamming on those until they'd get auto banned after a few posts. This was much less effective to disrupt the forum, but I still had to handle it.

I then wrote in a new modification to detect his new registrations, and disallow them before he could get it through. He tried proxies, VPNs, and everything else he could come up with, and every time it detected him and wouldn't let the registration complete.

Finally, after about 1000 attemtps which took probably 10 hours, he finally got 2 through. I then modified the software again to close that last hole, and he could not register another account. He tried and tried for many hours each day, and never got another through. At the same time, everyone else's registrations went through without a problem.

He finally gave up.

Everyone on Vegascasinotalk saw this play out publicly, and can confirm. A few post here.

Explain how I did all of that with "basic HTML skills", Marty.

You are a fool.

It’s a New Years miracle that I got it back up before 2024 (PST).

Major hardware failure, and it was unreachable for even me. Got a hold of someone at the host company finally and got them to replace the failed part, and we’re BACK.

Currently in Vegas for NYE for the first time in 5 years.

PFA 2024 y’all

Had a similar problem with my VPS thats in Germany about a month ago. Tried to RDP in and wouldnt connect. cycled the server didnt help so had to contact tech support. The NIC failed on it. It was back up within a couple hrs.

Great story.

No, he gave up and I haven’t seen him since. This was like 5-6 years ago.

we’ve heard these all too familiar lines before from todd (israel) and jewdonk (hamas) over the years but it still never ceases to tickle my pediatric sensibilities.

[tyde]

All I did was point out the obvious that you are at best an amateur ‘programmer’ with nonexistent legit coding skills

tinkering around with vbulletin and spoofing phone numbers vs actual coding is (ahem) a pretty big gap

any dipshit with 200 bucks to burn and half a brain would easily crush PFA but nobody gives two fucks

[Sloppy Joe]

Now that mommy and daddy are predictably back to baseline we really need a rundown of how they went from restraining orders to getting all huggy in casinos.

Lots of unanswered questions remain from Tyde returning last year with a clean slate.

I respect Todd honestly not picking a fight I am just annoyed when he claims to be some master of the interwebz

Everybody here knows that if I cared enough I would blow PFA off the map

As far as restraining orders go…

I won he lost and I’m a very nice person for not elaborating

Russian hackers at it again

one thing you are not is a nice person

You hate women, blacks. hispanics, muslims and more than likely yourself. I suggest you reflect on the past 60 years and try to make some changes going forward. You still have a few good years left in you


I can see why you hate women with you being an INCEL and all, but the rest is just you not being a good person.

What better time to stop being a piece of shit than on New Years day?

[Dan Druff]

Martin didn’t “win” any restraining order case.

I was told he was evading service. I showed up to the first hearing on Zoom, they said I needed to serve him to compel him to show.

I tried a second time and was told he evaded again, so I gave up and didn’t show. He had stopped bothering me by then anyway.

Turned out they mailed him something and he did show. Without my being there, it was dismissed.

I could re-file anytime but obv no point now.

[big dick]

You had a restraining order against tyde? Is that what I just read? WTF LOL

[Krypt]

can someone kindly reupload the video todd took of tydes vegas compound with the cops theme song

Huge win for Tyde.

Here's hoping that cooler heads prevail and the uxexplained kumbaya of 2023 can resume

todds a competent scripter.

he might think hes a programmer but thats because he spends absolutely zero time around actual programmers / programming.

and thats not even a dig, he does good work. im just explaining the disconnect between his very nonchalant use of the notion of programming and how luridly arcane actual programming is at this point.

ive literally written exploitation frameworks from the ground up and given presentations on bypassing memory corruption mitigation on modern linux systems and id never in a million years describe myself as a programmer just in case someone i took seriously was listening.

i was so tempted to get little caesars delivered tonight just to start the year on an ironic note but i settled for a 2nd bowl of cereal.
