So you want to hack/ddos our services?

Hi fellow Zandronumers.
This is great.. another thread that I really did not want to have to make but I need to, seeing as its twice now something has happened.
So lately we have been noticing some odd thread views. This was actually a DDoS attack (thankfully a crappy one but it is what it is) that was causing the site to go slow.
The site and master server also got attacked a while back as well.
Ok then mifu, so whats the big deal? Is this a rant or something important?
Actually its a bit of both.
You see when this stuff happens, not only I get all the messages telling me something is slow or somethings not right or the site is down, or pissing other people off because they cant access the site but rather doing anything like this is actually ILLEGAL
Like so illegal, you could be in the slammer illegal (I dont know about law, but I think in the US, they are very strict about this, hence slammer/jail/prison)
So what happens when this happens?
1.) I normally get messages (this time it was 20) saying somethings up with the site
2.) When i find out whats happening, I essentially flip my shit (in panic like almost every other server/network admin would)
3.) When i find out which IP's/who did it, they get fire-walled. When this happens, they don't get unbanned/unblocked... ever. This means no forums for you, and no master server for you. This can also extend to irc as well.
And if it keeps happening, the hosting company we use ends up taking notice too then I get a call from them saying "Hallo. did u know u gittin ddosed? herp " and not only you ended up on our shit list, you end up on theirs too.
Again, Illegal. They can sue your ass if they wanted to. Threatening to hack peoples accounts in general or bribing people to do your bidding to ddos/hack is also bad.
So take it from me guys. Don't do it. If you do, as Sans would say..... You're gonna have a bad time.
