Going through this thread, I couldn't help but to laugh at some people's naive responses.
Hmm..It could be a simple coding error. Or maybe they're down for maintenence. (though usually they'd repair the servers in stages)
Or my main suspicion is that some hoser DDoS'd the Nintendo WiFi servers.
Do I need to say more?
What the hell is a hoser? Hacker? No, hackers don't DDoS, script kiddie botnets do.
Secondly, why the hell would anyone DDoS the WFC servers? I also remind you that it isn't even possible, with no direct connection to it. The only way that could happen is if you got every Wii and DS in the world on the same region to connect to WFC at the same time, even then, the server will automatically reject excess clients and give them an error code (I can't remember what it is right now).
Thirdly, WFC servers and the website servers are both different. And how could you say that without going to the site first?
No, something's wrong, their website has an error thing on it saying HTTP Error 500-
Error 500 is a serverside problem. Not with MySQL or anything, I'd say it could be hardware wise.
i wonder whats goin' on..
Nice contribution to the conversation.
My friend believes it to be the Asians. I am unsure on what to believe.
But I DO know for a fact, every site crumbled, one after another, and the Japanese site is the only one standing.
Geez, with a friend like that, who need independent thought, right?
As for the Japanese site still standing, this brings out countless possibilites.
maybe someone hacked their way in? but if Japanese is where the Nintendo big coorperation is it might be too hard for them to hack in. Thats what i think.
If you think it's too hard to hack in, why did you even suggest it in the first place?
And you do know there are people who have hacked into Steam, Sarah Palin's email, Facebook and Livejournal?
Sheesh, naive much?
No, something's wrong. Asia sites are still up, but everywhere else in the world was deprived of WiFi, one by one, like the domino effect.
lol@vietnam war conspiricies.
How do you even know it was one by one? They could have crashed together, or another countries might have been down for weeks before yours fell, and there could be others still standing now!
*yawn*here in Scotland its 10:05 and frankly im tired.. ill look into it tomorrow :)
Great work, detective, see you tommorow then. Not like you did anything. I re-quote:
i wonder whats goin' on..
You people are hilarious.
