I just don't see the enjoyment in that, and i assume it lives in a third world country??
Is there really an enjoyment of getting banned?? And i don't know if you really answered but it doesn't show a trace and you can't ban the IP?? so that shuts down anything from that PC??
I remember one nutjob that came here actually did something to Idols connection here and disabled it, how i have no idea and it was temporary but that guy did it??
He talked sense into me.Quote:

He's a troll, has mental health issues, or both. Since I'm not an e-psychiatrist, that leaves me with a rather limited set of options :smilie4:Quote:

As I recall, he fished IPs using a link that pointed to a server run by him (a fairly old trick; was also doable with images but we fixed that on 2011) and then launched a DDoS attack on them. The effect lasted until Idol was able to get a new address through either a modem reboot or a phone call to his provider.Quote:

The effect was only temporary, in any case.Quote:
