Help Shut Down Ahmadinejad's Website
I am currently supporting the efforts to shut down Ahmadinejad's website. The efforts are currently proving successful, and I have not been able to load Iran’s state-run media web site so far today.
To help, simply visit pagereboot.com. Then type in the Ahmadinejad's website http://www.irib.ir/ and set it to reload once per second. Personally I am leaving a browser window open to reload this page 24 hours a day (that is 86,400 loads per day!).
According to CNN.com, Iran is doing is best to shut down pagereboot.com, but hopefully Ahmadinejad and his thugs will not be successful.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, additional websites to shut down include President Ahmadinejad's blog ahmadinejad.ir, the Justice Ministry's justice.ir, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' mfa.gov.ir. I have opened separate reload tabs for these websites, and currently all of them seem to be down.
I also want to applaud the efforts of several netizens to allow Iranians free access to the Internet through proxies.

Stop doing this immediately!
You are severely affecting the performance of the Internet in Iran by doing this, and this is causing problems uploading videos for example to Youtube!
Besides, there is no reason to do this, this is a battle for free speech, and it doesn't help to behave thuggish on you opponents!
Please engage the little grey cells before committing acts like this!

Actually, the Iranian websites have been down all day due to the Iranian democracy campaign, so it does not seem like Iranians need our help. An alternative would be to target Iranian websites abroad, but this is probably pointless as well. Hopefully efforts can be concentrated on providing proxy internet alternatives to the Iranian opposition. Mousavi certainly is not much to be hoped for, but perhaps the demonstrations in Iran will be able to bring down the entire Planet of the Apes regime.
By the way, I believe the current denial-of-service attack is damaging the government websites much more than the internet connection for the common population in Iran. From a moral point of view, I see no problems in attempting to stop the Iranian dictatorship's propaganda machine. Then again, I would not really object to someone shooting Mahmoud Ahmadinejad either.
