I'd say the Pezza incident.

Whats that?


If I remember correctly, it's when someone got control of a ninja account. All hell broke loose that day.

how did he? I wonder how many bans there where how long did it last?

From what I've heard he posted a link and his account information was on the other side. As for how long it lasted, I couldn't tell you.

A user I won't release his name got pezza's information to his account, and gave it to a private group. 12 people got on that account ,and banned ,and lock and posted stupid things on that account.This happened on July 8 2007. I don't know what happend after that because that's around the time I left bungie.net.

This is why pezza is now pezz.

I apologize in advance for all the crappy jokes I make.

I'm not sure, maybe "[REDACTED] is a pegboy"?

Good to know, I never heard the part involving the Private Group. Thanks for the info.

Other than Porch Day, yesterday was the worst I can remember since John Cena had his first spamming spree.

No problem that's how all the members got the information to the account Yoozel banned them all, I think but they were unbanned.

SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

Watermelon King for an actual attack. I'm pretty sure that whole fiasco was the reason we have multiple spam throttles now. I bet even the mod/employee who had to go deal with all of that at the time laughs about it now.

The worst "spam" I've ver seen on the site though, wasn't an actual attack. It was during the Halo 3 beta, when Crackdown was not letting people download the beta on time. I don't really remember the details, but I think there was something wrong with Xbox Live's DL servers, so millions of people who were trying to DL the H3 beta couldn't, so they went to the HAlo 3 forum to ask why.

I remember sitting there for at least an hour, doing nothing but locking threads. You'd open a thread on the main topic, press lock, rinse and repeat. I think I stopped counting at 600 locked threads in a half hour period. IT went on all night, but eventually some other ninjas logged on so I had some help. I started an "official" info thread about why the beta was broken, and i think it hit 2000 posts in a hour, since I was locking the deluge of new topics about that same exact thing.
