For one, Site Security. Having the ability to express opinions contrary to those of local or even Foreign (ahem) governments causes a great deal of stress to those who wish that such was Not The Case. So they attempt to manipulate the message of the site through flooding comments, often done with the aid of computer software, such as the Infamous “Megaphone” attacks. Failing that they attempt to take down the site entirely. Sort of an officially unofficial Censorship Program encouraged by certain American and Foreign (ahem) Govt. Entities. Usually this type of action is taken by Cowards who would much prefer to remain Anonymous, as it makes their deeds possible. Persons who would scream long and loud if somebody walked into their places of business and just distributed enough destructive force to make their businesses unprofitable, for hours or maybe days, seem to have a mental disconnect when it comes to recognizing such behaviour in themselves.
The second is to maintain accurate counts of how many visitors we have to the site. Many of our affiliates (you can see their website links on either side of the Main Body) depend on advertising to keep their sites on-line.
It would be very dishonest for us to have several thousand “hits” in a matter of minutes all originating from one particular computer. It would be Theft. IP tracking keeps that aspect in good working order as well.
It would appear that some are upset by this practice, APPARENTLY because they came to the site for the purpose of conducting some sort of theft or “virtual shop smashing”. Or government contracted Censorship.
The greater part of the Governments who would be most offended by our rebuttals of their propaganda, truly HATE freedom of speech. They also have somewhere written in their laws that Freedom of Speech is sacred. Thus, they’re not in a position to openly suppress free speech.
So they hire, or in the most part, entice and incite others to engage in their censorship for them. Most of these are overgrown children, a child in a 30 year old body, probably living at home with his parents, being supported by them, and feeling powerless in his (sometimes Her, just not as often) Personal “life” and to engage in such behaviour is his only escape from the tedious Hell that he has allowed his life to become.
By volunteering to do a task for Free that some people actually get paid to do. Then alternates it playing Violent Fantasy Games like “Call to Duty- Modern Warfare2”
A truly pathetic existence and, fortunately, very rarely do they mutate to the next level and actually obtain firearms.
