  1. Suering and Turner say there was a DDoS by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on LinuxWorld Senior Editorial Staff Resigns

    Hmm. The guys who RESIGNED from LinuxWorld say there was a DDoS.

    Gee, you think they'd know more about it than some asshat quoting wikipedia?

    Oh, and posting as AC is pretty sad.

    Coming from an AC that's rich.

  2. Re:And more... by ptbarnett · · Score: 3, Interesting · on LinuxWorld Senior Editorial Staff Resigns
    One thing - despite Turners announcement that the entire senior staff was going, it appears that he may have stepped out on a limb, as several of the other editors have not, at this time, announced their resignation. Just Turner and Blanc, so far. I'm hoping to see Walker, Winslow, and Taylor follow suit soon.

    I'm not sure where he stands in the pecking order, but Steve Suehring has also announced his resignation, for the same reason.

  3. Details on LinuxWorld DoS by swsuehr · · Score: 5, Informative · on LinuxWorld Senior Editorial Staff Resigns

    As an editor (now former editor) for LinuxWorld, I've been attempting to get details of the DoS against Sys-Con all week and bring them to our readers. Just yesterday I received those details and was working on a story about the DoS to appear in LinuxWorld. Since I don't think the story will be appearing there, it's now here. From TFA: "There is still some doubt over whether the DoS attacks against Sys-Con actually existed or whether they were the result of 'The Slashdot Effect' for lack of a better term. I believe the DoS attacks did exist. I too was initially skeptical but based on e-mail correspondence I now believe them to have happened." More in my blog.

    Steve Suehring has also resigned:

    It is with some sadness that I've had to resign from LinuxWorld Magazine. Over the past nearly two years I've worked with a group of people with whom I've developed a great rapport and friendship. We were unpaid editors but we devoted a lot of time and energy to it nonetheless. It was a great experience for me and I look forward to other opportunities as they arise.

    I may edit this post in the future and add more details.

  6. Response from LinuxWorld Editors by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Informative · on Free Software Mag Interviews Sys-Con Publisher

    Looks like a few of the LinuxWorld editors saw the interview, and you can bet that they aren't happy. Here, here, and here.
