PoodleCorp why D:

I like poodlecorp, just not when they took down B.Net and Pokemon GO.

 

[GalladeGuy]

I'm actually okay with this. Maybe this will teach people to stop walking into poles. Who knows?

Yeah, God damn them. Always fucking up society smh

 

[Supster131]

I doubt people will notice. Pokemon GO servers are down half the time anyways :^)

 

[GoodCookie88]

Damn these motherfuckers gonna take away my fucking exercise

They don't need to do shit about the servers. They just need to log in and they explode like an atom bomb. They are down 99% percent of the time, the connection between the server and the player is way to weak etc. Its a mess

Then again, who could've thought that they would be unleashing a global phenomenon taking over the world?

A unfinished global phenomenon that is only so big because all people love to follow whats hyped at the moment.

Their servers are down so frequently that no one will notice it.

Didn't even notice it.

Didn't even notice it.

They only hacked some regions as far as I know

From a hacking standpoint, why would they do it when the servers are almost always down anyway? I'd do it once they get the server hiccups fixed for maximum impact.

PoodleCorp does it for fun. Pokémon Go is extremly popular at the moment with many companies making ads with the game, so it would be better to do it now, when alot of people are going to notice it. They plan on taking it down for 24 hours

 

[CitizenSnips]

It won't really affect me, as I don't play Pokemon GO, but I hate people who DDoS random websites just for fun, seriously it only makes the users angry and causes problems for the company.
