Just Because We Are Spam...

Tyler Durden's picture




 

From the tip box: "guess what site got conveniently blocked @ GS today...that's right, ZH." Thank you Goldman for proving we were right all along. In retaliation, Zero Hedge has blocked the entire Goldman IP universe: 204.4.128.0 - 204.4.191.255.

Maybe if we post trannie porn, this will appease them, and they will let us be.

Very amusing.

 

I can't tell what part of this I enjoy more. The thought of GS drones constantly reading this site for news on their employer, or the idea that GS feels it has employees that need to be monitored.

Strange sort of imagery.

My oh my, how the sinners have fallen. 

Imagine the Paranioa growing in Goldielox's trenches?  Great way to disaffect the employee base, crush morale, cause a revolt. 

Oh, the bonus pool of it all!

Are you sure you didn't block the whole internet from the site?  Because this website's server goes down more than a White House intern.

 The market is tanking, GS is under attack...I thought the high traffic was causing the weirdness while trying to get to ZH.Who knows, a DOS attack.Blankfiend is capable of anything.

 I still rate this as an EPIC ZH WIN.

maybe we shouldnt give them what they want... now if their HFT computers were online and we knew their IPs that would be something.

Tyler, it just shows that you and the rest at ZeroHedge are real heroes to the world.  I know that sounds a little out there, but thank you for all you do and please keep up the good work.  I for one, really really appreciate all that you do!

Goldman stupid move.

 

This little story is being carried forward to tons of people who will talk to me about GS & SEC.  At the end of today, they'll know about ZH and know the shadyness of GS.

Wait... Goldman won't let its employees read ZH, so ZH retaliates by... not letting Goldman employees read ZH?  I'm confused.

And yeah, the connection resets are annoying.

Hey...

If we've got the squid's PSI-net issued IPs, we could easily engineer a rolling, multi-bot, Denial-of-service attack and make their connections hicckup for a while.

 

While we're at it we could make all the originating IP's spoof as though they were coming from Greece, just for extra mind-fun!

Where's the Cisco Kid?

congratulation Tyler!

I think there are very few people who have both the financial competence and the courage to be so 'heretic' towards status quo.

The vampire squid just confirmed that you are absolutely right.

Keep going

I've never seen such a site like this!

Great!

I cant give a shit about GS, but I would have thought it would be smarter to set up a site that would redirect to ZH with a different Ip, so people at GS that wanted to access ZH could still do so.. :) Dynamic IP obviously. hehe.

the great part is most GS readers probably didn't notice - they're still reading ZH on the 'can' with their iphones!

the rest of 'em will go home and check ZH from there. look for the 5:30pm spike :^)

ZH - If you've trapped the IP's please do redirect vs. block.  Redirect them to another landing page.  I'm walking past a fish market on my way home.  I'll post a great image of a pile of dead squid.  That is what those assholes should see.

The correlations from the original mental imagery are becoming more pertinent in reality with time and events.....

It took a year after 9/11 and everything after that got quiet I doubt that GS won’t be able to pull anything like this. They will drag the process for a certain amount of time and quietly will let it slide away. With the money they have in their pockets and politicians on their white list, I don’t see that this will be damaging to gangsters in GS. Of cause they may throw few non-needed humans in their company under the train but it won’t go further than that.

Do NOT follow this link or you will be banned from the site!
