[edit] NPOV

If I remember correctly Lycos Europe did NOT do a DDOS attack and it was NOT illegal. However, I don't remember enough specifics to make a quality change to this article. --Kurt 06:59, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] make LOVE not SPAM

There's really not much known or told about this program, and it's not distinct an article enough to have made it past stub size since it's creation. Therefore, I suggest it be merged into the parent article.ip.address.conflict —Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.159.255.67 (talk) 20:04, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

I've had a go at merging it, no one has objected Silent52 (talk) 01:18, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] DDOS powers for good?

Lycos Europe launched what is, yes, essentially a DDOS attack on multiple spam servers. However, since blatant spam is illegal in the EU and US, the movement was technically (I emphasize technically) legal as a form of ignored vigilante-ism (for lack of a better word).

Personally, I think Lycos US should revive the initiative. But that's just me.

According to http://mlns.starring.se/ which was/is the linked website from make love not spam it was a DDOS attack, I'm sure if it had been judged legal they wouldn't have shut it down after a month.Silent52 (talk) 01:20, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
