Why everyone keeps writing the same thing? We got it. Website Disabled.
Maybe it's being DDoS-ed so much they had to take it down. The forums are slow but a lot faster than yesterday at least. Can't wait to see the site! Smile

右 (Yòu) = right (noun) off (adjective)

列 (Liè) = row, series, sort, kind, file (noun) arrange, line up (verb) various (adjective)

and

出 (chū) = come out, issue, go out, turn out, arise, put forth, put up, vent, exceed happen, expend (verbs)

or

measure word for dramas, plays or operas (LOL, auxilliary verb)

I don't know anything about chinese so of course those first two words could mean something completely different when they're used together ..

Those really are the most obvious translations. While from what David said I'm pretty certain there might be an extra meaning, I don't have enough to go on to make any assumptions at all. I would need at least some sort of allusion to even make a guess that may be plausible.

Just based on standard language knowledge there isn't anything else "normal" those phrases are likely to mean than what I already said.

EDIT: HOLD THAT THOUGHT!!

It turns out after a bit of rummaging that 右列 also has some meanings that ONLY apply in old Chinese grammar...like really old:

1. A talented elder
2. The highest ranked of a once active "Six Ministries" that old dynasties of China used to employ called 吏部. The 吏部 mainly dealt with matters regarding employment, promotion, demotion, etc
3. A war commander

EDIT 2: By itself 右 in old Chinese grammar is also a way of saying someone is higher ranked than you, whether in truth, or as a compliment. It could also just mean someone's awesome.

Pure speculation: "out" can be taken as "Rise" or "Awakening" and elder/minister/commander can be taken as..? Any ideas?

How about you go mad somewhere else? Thanks.
DDoS'd by whom?

by idiots

It was our assumption that someone from "disappointed" probably got so VERY LARGE ANGRY that bought cheap botnet. You know, you don't need much to overload FG server. Pure speculation, though.

Yeap, that' true. I doubt they have a big bandwidth (serves right since something larger is not really needed most of the time) so it's not hard for idiots with botnets to do that.

But let's stay on topic as much as possible. When it comes to such behaviors, the more you provoke the harder your life will be. By ignoring it, it should stop eventually.
I think they are giving us hints(?)
