Go play the game, within the given limitations. That is how role play games are played. Not by trying to work around those limitations or whining about them.

Skype will only fail when I use it.

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.

Hmmm.... what is it with this guy... is he holding a grudge becuz he got banned from every server?

Please ask him, if you ever meet him, since not one single person besides him will be able to answer your question.
Which actually makes your question quite pointless, when you think about it.

Can Igiss send you the bill each month ? Including the traffic bill ? For the next 3 years ?
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.

I figured you, of all people, would understand why this is important. How is the backup plan going to solve these problems? We're just gonna somehow throw this server right onto an OC48 line with a hardware firewall in between 'em for free? You don't get something for nothing.

I know hundreds of Disco fans have suggestions to saving this server, but lets face it: when you allow free access without a password or ID check, it will be hacked and destroyed someday by some creep with a perverted look on life. Just look at the country of Brazil and hackers getting into their energy servers for no other reason than to see if they can shut down a entire city.

As for Death.Runners suggestion: Yes I have a powerful computer that can run as a server and maintain up to 8 hard drive, but I doubt it would do the community any good if Anyone can log in.

What confuses me is if the admin can ban us by our IP addresses, then why not have players send our IP address to admin via private message and in return admin sends us a password to a server. If your not a fully pledge player and writer on this (or another official) forum, then there is no access allowed.

I liked to see this hacker hang by his toes as we dip him into molten lead as an example to all others who would destroy this community.

This doesn't solve the problem with these kinds of attacks, whether access is allowed or not, the black-hat just "clogs the tubes" leading to the server, so to speak--it needs to be taken care of by the ISP of the server.

OK this isn't hard, obviously this person knows the community and they will be admiring there handywork so it will be a member of the forum or a 'Guest' that may be seen at the bottom of a thread.
If this person wants to destroy this community and the other Disco communities something must have hacked them off pretty good. I say we trawl through sanction reports etc. until we find likely candidates who were incredibly frustrated at the time of sanctions.
Anyone remember that guy who appeared and posted in the flood about the unfairness of his sanction and then we all proceeded to flame him intensely?
Yea, that would alienate a person quite a bit, and then what better to do then learn how to DDoS attack and destroy the servers as revenge?

Igiss said himself this will never be a passworded server...

I miss the server already and its only been 3 days:(Im stuck with crappy low grade FPS's (Halo One, Battlefield 1942 anyone?) and MMORPGS. Ahhh.

Still, We need to get the FBI or INTERPOL on this, Or can you not sue him for some random reason? People have said he lives in USA, and we' got tough laws on haxx0rs

Perhaps next time we do not insult someone who has broken the rules so badly?

(Even though it has been said that the person in question has never played FL.)

Anything I say is not intended as offensive, and to try and deliberately misinterpret it as such would be an attempt at trolling via misrepresentation.

It's not a conspiracy, it's localised bias. They're not intelligent enough to form a conspiracy.
