I'll do whatever whenever a dev comes on and says ok here's the plan.

Thats exactly what we need!

I think we have a lot of people willing to donate to keep this thing running for a long time. Lets make good on our willingness to donate...however we need a direction, a plan, a sense that this thing will be quashed and dealt with if we contribute hundreds of dollars. Personally I know it will be taken care of but what I think people are looking for is a way to donate money to expedite the process. I for one know the DEVS love this project as much as the players and they wont let some "basement baby" ruin it.

Thanks for all your hard work!

I started a similar thread on the server chat section.

I think we have alot of people that could donate a significant amount to fix and prevent this type of problem in the future. We just need some direction and a plan. I'm sure this will happen, since we have such great devs. It's just hard not to know what's going on right now.

The problem with DDoS attacks is that if it GETS to the server, its going to do the damage regardless of whether the server rejects it or not.

The host/carriers need to attempt to stop it.

Find the slave networks and block em it's that simple granted the master could setup another attack but it would take some time.

A: Create and implement your own code to do that all for you automatically for instance have something to check for multiple IPs say 20 or so and block the host network.

B: GET RID OF LINUX SERVERS!

C: Not sure what to tell ya get a better firewall?

You obviously don't have a single fucking clue what you're talking about.

Isn't there front-end hardware (or I suppose software) that will help block this stuff? In other words, there is the ability to block the stuff (i.e. repeated spam attacks, etc.) *before* it gets to the server, but without having to have the ISP/host/carriers do it - true?

Linux can't compete with anything windows can do the windows server are sooo much more trust worthy and the security is better.

Sorry I don't want to get into that with you alot of hard heads out there like linux but i'm not one of them.

The rest of your post showed you have no idea what you are talking about as well.
