Recent Downtime [Massive DDOS]

[BraumBi 9]

I'm being one hundred percent serious with this idea, I might just start a bake sale whatever something like that I mean when I am on LotC I am in a safe environment right I'm not hitting up a drug store or anything like that I'm in a save place.. I'm pretty sure if you sold cookies and said "To give kids a safe place to play after school" and be a little sketchy with the details I think it would work.

I remember a few years ago my sister had a **** load of chocolates my mom bought to sell, Well by the time the drive was over we were not finished so I said how about we up the price by like 50% because it was off season and give the rest to charity. I mean hey stand out of your local walmart I made like a hundred bucks for a drive once in fifteen minutes..

What a great way to donate.

What Does Someone Gain From DDOSing A Minecraft Server? It Kinda Seems Like An Act Of Spite.

As a temporary measure which will work to get us off the ground again and running will be to blacklist ALL inbound connections except a database of whitelisted IPs collected from member's accounts on this forum and then via an application page on the forums.

Sounds like a good idea to me!

They gain us.

People will get angry or annoyed after some time because they can't play.

They will all move to an other server, probably together.

Wether the DDoS'ers have been hired or are just another servers doing.

Is unknown.

You could find that out if you had the ability to.

But even for me that would takes days.

And it would be considered illegal and would gravely hurt the server, too.

And I never do illegal things. ;3

So... you don't pirate anything? :P

Also, if impatient people leave... I think it's not too bad. Still, the DDOS is very very annoying and I wish I could play!

1. DDoSing them is just... Stupid. You don't fight fire with fire. And DDoSing is illegal, people HAVE went to jail for hacking. Recently, some 16 or 17 year old kid who hacked youtubers when to jail, and probably is going to be tried a adult.

2. We raised 400.73 bucks. GG

Pppfpfpttt!!!! People actually donated money, when there was an extremely less cost-effecting method of preventing it that I had mentioned a while ago, and no one payed any mind to it.

I also looked back at all the previous posts, no one responded to any ideas that didn't involve dosh, now I'm not saying something, and I may or may not be implying something, though regardless of that, I will still play on the server and donate at least $10 just for donator rewards just because.
