I posted at the Epilepsy Foundation Forum, and I'll repeat it here, the person or group that posted the 'attacks' at The Epilepsy Foundation are pathetic. I'm sorry to see they can't find anything better to do than post something like that at an Epilepsy forum. I guess I've finally found someone wor...

Not to make light of this but I thought that this news story was going to be about the annoying Core Impact ad on this site. Enough already! We get that you want our attention. You have mine in a negative way....

This isn't an isolated event - it isn't the first time the hooligans at 7chan /b/ instigated an attack on epilepsy forums. They do it periodically. I issued a press release ( http://www.pr.com/press-release/60959 ) after they attacked CWE ( http://www.coping-with-epilepsy.com/ ) last November. I sa...

One: same "hacker" group:

No, I'm an epilepsy forum admin that has seen this BS go down more than a few times. The griefers at 7chan tried to attack my forum 3 times in the week prior to attacking the NSE and EFA forums. When they were hitting the EFA, I knew where to look thanks to my experience last November. I've got l...

That's sick, I mean, its one thing to hack a forum, and install malicious software, but to honestly take an attempt at harming people? Guess whoever it was wanted to graduate from "hacker" to "attempted murderer"...

Seizures aren't going to kill anyone.

Unless I fall out of my chair and impale myself on a random spike sticking out of the floor, or something, of course.

So, what's the difference between this and a bunch of street thugs beating up some guy in a wheelchair? It's just plain evil. Flashing lights trigger migraines in me, so I can relate to a small extent.
