I think he means all the garbage threads. Stretching the term DDOS.

[noway]

where when??

[haggishunter]

It is if you care. Haymarket doesn't care.

Does the distributed denial of service always result in the service failing (being the point of ddos)?

I think this is more likely to be excessive spamming for uncertain reasons.

But different to the usual kitchens for sale.

How is it stretched?? Perhaps not distributed but nonetheless an attack on normal service.

I reported this about an hour ago and no change yet.

No offence but why are you creating extra work for mods by continually posting about this in the wrong fking forum.

Nobbers the lot of you!

I must complain!
I came here to try and buy a kitchen, not a single ad when you need one!

It's more like completely inaccurate then stretched. Yes there is spam, but to think that 1 post/topic per minute is going to bring down the forum? laughable.

Extra work

They seem to be very 'JeremyKyle guest' in their work ethic.
