Netdisaster: Utterly pointless, but very fun to play with.

That's pretty funny, I clicked the link off the RSS feed so I didn't see the picture you posted ahead of time. Of course, I nuked CNN.com.

I'm using Thunderbird, with the view option set to simple HTML.

Yes!!! I just nuked microsoft.com. Wiped them off the web completely. The Mac OS will soon take its rightful place as the dominant computing platform.

Sorry Dave, but I just spilled coffee all over Apple.com and their Fisher-Price technology didn't stand a chance. Damndest thing. Shorted right out.

Dang. I wipe out Microsoft... You short circuit Apple... Now where do we turn? Linux?

PEOPLE THIS IS A HACKING WEBSITE!! NOT A GAME!
Comment by "ATTENTION!" on 2008-09-29 13:58:00Z
This game was taken down because google thought that the "text sucker", one of the fun gadgets in the game that takes all the words off the page, thought that it was REALLY taking information, SO they took it off! ITS JUST A GAME, IT IS IN NO WAY REAL, NOT A HACKING WEBSITE, BUT OF COURSE, GOOGLE TOOK IT OFF. Anways, the game may or may not come back, lets just hope that game kicked ass.

the REAL website is this: [http://www.netdisaster.com/](http://www.netdisaster.com/) yahoo and ebay shut it down they were thinking it was a hacking website or something it is a really fun game we need to donate so we can get him/she who owns [http://www.netdisaster.com/](http://www.netdisaster.com/) to buy website scrips or something if he gets enough he could buy some of the website scrips and get alowed to let people do there thing on the websites there aloud to hope this helped!!

It is just a game. Would you prefer someone unleashing his anger he or she has against a website with no real attacks or eventually a real attack on the website? This could be used as anti-stress tool as long as it doesn't encourage the user to become a real cracker, in the dark side. For the others, this is just for fun! Not everyone wants to hack any website they want. There are more violent games that are sold in which you destroy the world and they are not all banned or suspended! It would depend of the creator's motive. If all he wanted was to entertain people, then I am ok with this. If he wanted people to use as an anti-stress tool, it's ok. If that's to attract users to become an hacker from the dark side, then it's not ok! We could say the same thing about the usual Call of Duty or Counter Strike. Do we see everyone with a gun to kill all what they see? No. Then, it should be able to come back. I think that some perception should be rechecked and more discussion should be done between the creator and the person who wanted it removed instead of a closure without any communications. Errors can be made but that's not a reason to not attempt to repair anything if their claim is proven to be false.
