This forum is aimed at helping people affected by epilepsy, a condition that can cause seizures and headaches when the brain is presented with a number of brief, strong surges of electrical activity; such as flashing lights and colors.
This was possibly the first attack on a Web site that caused actual physical suffering, according to the news article on Wired.com.
