Perhaps you have your citations backward?

At 2mbit and its companion, I see no photo gallery....

OTOH, at poptix.net, I see a photo gallery link.

Hmmm, I didn't see such a thing on that website main page, nor do I now.  
That link is hidden.

Methinks we have a shill for poptix, or the same person posting from 
alias accounts....

Why do we have pseudonymous posters to NANOG?  A google search doesn't 
reveal particularly enlightening discourse from that account.

Apparently, the sirius guys at poptix already took it off-line, to 
taunt the fellows that were suffering the DoS.

Any DoS and other attack is pertinent, but especially so from another 
member of the list.

I've seen this before, as we host a number of sites, and sell DSL 
service.  A few years back, we hosted the new flag proposal website 
for Mississippi.  The goodol'boys wanted the Confederate battle flag.  
It was hard to imagine the hate going on there.... 

I certainly was grateful for assistance from other NANOG members.
