It is a DDOS attack, do you know how it works? Multiply request to the site at the site time (you cannot stop the attack with a simple block to one or two ip).

Hey, can you make something with the word "redsn0w", and use the colors of my actual avatar  (for free)? Thanks for the attention.

It depends from : what country do you live and how much you "trade", but basically it is not illegal to sell/buy bitcoin (at least here in my country m).

I would like to reserve a "spot" I will post my creation here (if I will have 30 min. of free time).

I think you are wrong, if you will go here : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=Your_forum_ID;sa=theme  you will find Don't show users' avatars.

So also the avatars "can be" disabled.

If I can vote, I want to say : yes , why not.

Thanks for the clarification, so at the end it seems that it doesn't exist a real solution for prevent the ddos attack (also with cloudflare, that it is much expensive).

We have already discussed about that thing, and you (care) to search in this thread you will find a lot of information . I little suggestion, don't waste your time, use the search function!

After marathon negotiations, the United States, Iran and five other world powers announced a deal Thursday outlining limits on Iran's nuclear program so it cannot lead to atomic weapons, directing negotiators toward a comprehensive agreement within three months.

Reading out a joint statement, European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini hailed what she called a "decisive step" after more than a decade of work. Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif followed with the same statement in Farsi. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and the top diplomats of Britain, France and Germany also briefly took the stage behind them.
....

Zarif told reporters the agreement would show "our program is exclusively peaceful, has always been and always will remain exclusively peaceful," while not hindering the country's pursuit of atomic energy for civilian purposes.

"Our facilities will continue," he said. "We will continue enriching, we will continue research and development." He said a planned heavy water reactor will be "modernized" and that the Iranians would keep their deeply buried underground facility at Fordo.

"We have taken a major step but are still some way away from where we want to be," Zarif said, calling Thursday's preliminary step as a "win-win outcome."

It seems this time (maybe) they will agree to a unilateral agreement.

Reserved. I will post my creation when I will finish, thanks for the opportunity.

I think the same and I have seen ndnhc (maybe) will start to pay who will put the dadice avatar. Maybe you can give 0.05 btc plus per month or a custom PayPerPost.

So buy a full member account and after you will be able to put the avatar to that account, it is not against the forum rules buy & sell the various accounts (remember to ask a signed message for the ownership prove and use always the escrow).

No, you should be active here in the forum only for 120 days, it is not a lot of time  .

Yes, finally! Enjoy your avatar guys . This april fool is finished (I hope) it was not so "funny" but it is not important at the end. Thanks again theymos!

Yes of course, this is the "april fool" it is normal that you are saying two different typology of avatar (also if you go to your PM inbox, you will see the real avatar of the other users).

Exactly, only you will see your avatar. All the other community will see an "april fool avatar"  .

I think it is was only a "stupid" april fool and maybe related with the avatar. I think someone has tried to exploit again the upload function but he failed and theymos has changed the forum to another "IP" (as you can read here : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1010078.msg10959655#msg10959655).

It seems theymos has said that .gif avatars aren't allowed (this time) :

Maybe he has put a sort of "countdown" and it this countdown was stopped due the ddos attack (it is only my personal opinion).

"The driver of the vehicle was a transgender sex worker – Ricky Shawatza Hall.
He was last seen out working a Baltimore strip before the incident Monday morning.
Ricky, who went by the name Mya, was partying all night at a hotel and was driving a stolen vehicle.
CNS News reported:

The driver killed in a violent confrontation at a National Security Agency gate was a transgender sex worker in Baltimore, according to those who knew her, and she was remembered Wednesday as a friendly but troubled loner.
Ricky Shawatza Hall, 27, was killed Monday when NSA police opened fire on a stolen car that then crashed into a police vehicle. A passenger and an officer were wounded.

Kayla Brooks, who works at a transgender outreach program in Baltimore, said Hall went by the name Mya, and that she last saw her on Sunday. Brooks says Hall “seemed high and was looking for a date” while walking up and down a Baltimore strip known as a hotspot for sex work.
“She was nice and friendly,” Brooks said of Hall, “but very troubled.”
Court documents show that Hall had a history of theft and assault. In 2013, she was charged with assaulting a woman and stealing a bottle of methadone from her pocket. Hall wore a yellow dress at the time of the assault, the documents show. In 2014, Hall was charged with robbery after stealing a vest and skirt from a Baltimore clothing store.

Hall also was charged with assault in February of 2014 while at central booking in Baltimore after she grabbed a broom handle from a supply closet and smashed a window with it. Documents show that Hall ran out of her cell after another inmate attacked her. Hall was being held in a men’s unit of the jail.
