Makes me wonder... if the person launching a DDoS attack is hitting our servers, are they paying the $30-60 a day to do it? What joe-shmoe has the expendable cash to blow on DDoS attacks just get "lulz"? I just can't imagine wasting that much money per-day on something so stupid. I just don't get it.

And regarding the BlockDOS.net -- I wonder if we could use a service like that for the server and eliminate DDoS attacks? Looked like about $350 / year? Might be worth it if the community can get behind it.

its really rogean launching ddos on his own server then you guys donate all the money to him when the server is down. Rinse and repeat and your up a couple grand easy.
