This seriously made me #LOL.
One of our community members decided to “test his server” by targeting his own blog with the Low Orbit Ion Cannon, which is a DDOS attack. This is commonly used by 4Chan and recently used in their attack on Tumblr.
Be warned, this may cause some issues, as one source notes:
WARNING: this will cause srs nerd rage and make asspies have meltdowns, which will result in episodes of bawwing. Use at your own risk.
Haha!
Kevin discovered in his test that his server could handle 20 constant, simultaneous HTTP requests before hosing his blog.
I think this is actually quite useful information. Check out how Kevin did it here.

Useful indeed. Though my guess is my blog can handle about 3 :).

Guilty as charged….Glad I was able to provide some LOLZ!
