If affirmative, please sign at the dotted line, and I'm certain Igiss will transfer the server to a Colo host such as Rackspace ASAP.
If not, then wait untill their backup plan gets effectuated.

And with that, if the black hat ever tries to pull it off again, the owners of that service will have to call the cops forcefully, for it is a breach of contract on their end and bad rep on the service. And with warrants to get the logs from whatever servers he's using.. A week at the most for us to find a new dinner and where i will debut my new Shish Kebab service. And garlic.

If he's still at it, if he is at least a bit sane (I doubt it though since the DoS was rather pointless) his rage should have ended by now.
If there will still be attacks I wouldn't mind to pay a few dollars each month to play, since we are rather many who play on disco it should be enough with a few dollars each.

Stop still trying to find solution. Best disco brainiacs are on this problem and I am most confident that they will come up with something great. Should this happene again, we pwn the poor boy!:)

I didnt say that. Its just that there have been so many ideas, suggestions and similar that it gets confusing.

Uh, latest news everyone... The USA, UK and Berlin servers are offline. Clearly the black hat is attacking all servers of Discovery.
Can somebody cap him? And them shove only the top of his head in a boiling hot cooking oil pot? With garlic?
Much apreciated.

They haven't really achieved anything at all. They'd have to start attacking the forums of this and other servers, and related sites as well.
