We've been hit by a couple of DoS attacks in the last day or so. These have interrupted the operation of the server and forum. Not much we can do about these at the moment. We've passed the information onto the various police contacts we have and will see if anything happens.

Depends if it's a DoS or DDoS. Distributed denial of service is typically done through a number of proxies (a botnet usually) and with the commands coming top-down, those can be hard to trace back to their controller. Someone abusing their own connection however, is fair game.

I hear what your saying. I can think of many bad things i would do to them. You just know it is some kid who was probly banned for not playing nice,and this is their idea of revenge.

I think we're just used to it by now. After all, the server is still playable and the forums are still postable. Many people probably aren't even aware of the problem.
