If the Apolyton Outtage had been covered in the News... Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

From the Outtage Update desk in Athens, Greece

quote:

Outtage Purposely Caused, unnamed sources claim

Credible inside sources have whispered that the Apolyton Diaspora was caused by unscrupulous Greek capitalists in an purposeful attempt to drive up registrations and hit rates at other websites owned by those self-same Greek capitalists.

One source whom asked to remain anonymous, claimed that documents existed that proved that the Outtage, and the resultant Diaspora, was purposely conceived and executed so to meet expected goals at Imarton.net by the end of April. Unfortunately, these documents were destroyed last Monday night in a marathon 10-hour shredding session that involved 3 people.

"Why else redirect us to their other site, even going so far as to call it 'The Official Apolyton Refugee Camp', just to offer crap boards and other messaging systems, if for no other reason than to drive up certain performance variables?" asked Robert Shapiro, attorney for the effected posters. "Why, were it not for the fine folk at www.freefirezone.net and www.counterglow.com, the Apolyton refugees might have been lost in an downward spiral of threadded message boards and craptacular "guestbooks" in other web sites offered by Giannopolous TransNational."

Officials from Giannopolous TransNational have refused to comment.


Have fun! Be nice!

Isn't "Greek capitalists" an oxymoron?

I'm sure someone would find a way to blame it on Bush or the US?

Got spare money?

Well, given the number of so-called "anti-American" or "anti-Bush" threads and statements, of course the "traitors" and "Saddam/bin Ladden sympathizers" would be targetted by Bush II's cyber-henchmen. Probably suspected 'Poly was a terrorist bulletin board, what with all the secret coded-messages.

I don't think it was a coincidence that seven black helicopters with "GTN" markings hovered menacingly over my apartment complex not long after 'Poly went down.

I am outraged that CGN was not mentioned. It took a number of refugees, as well as a few economic migrants who were only interested in Reis Marks.
