Tovok put some links to it on the previous page. As I understand it, you basically put demands on the servers resources through various means (discussed in the wiki entry most briefly).
The resource in this case was bandwidth. The hoster dropped this server because the fact that someone had it in for the server affected their normal operations. The hoster is apparently not equipped to handle something like this, and a hoster that could is much more expensive.
Basically that is what I have gathered. In addition it is very difficult to determine who launched the attack. I also think it would be very difficult to get this prosecuted depending on who and where the attack came from.
That is what I have gathered.
