Why did you feel the need to post this? Why did you start a WHOLE new thread for this claiming you know the reason. You could be wrong, therefore when you are wrong you make an ass out of yourself. You don't realize how much it would cost to ddos their servers hosted with who knows how much memory with all their donations. like i said it would take 3, 4 or 5 different ddos's all costing more than you would ever think is worth someone paying. Not to mention the amount of memory the person is pulling is a security threat to the hosters of the attack. I doubt it but hey, you may be right, the kid may be that desperate as to spend near a grand to ddos a Garry's Mod Roleplay community. All i'm saying is don't jump to conclusions yet, let the admins and developers sort it out.

You did not need to say I am stupid for making this report. This is just general information to anybody wondering what is happening, so that we do not get reports from n00bs about this.

I didn't call you stupid, apologies if you misread it that way.

I saw that ban with papas, but I assumed that FL had gotten heartbled, and they shut her down till they found a fix around the glitch. Same thing happened with minecraft. Although I don't think its ddos cuz usually we survive them much longer and this has been going on way too long to be one.

No it can be a very expensive ddos, it doesn't happen because it's not worth it. The servers could be down for a month even, it depends on how dedicated the guy is on screwing the server if ddos is the case.

Hmm, well someone in staff needs to see how much money their losing (if its a DDos) cuz this turns illegal once FL loses 5k. Once that limit hits soul can call the feds and let them investigate who's causing this all.
P.S. Assuming server is in the US, I honestly have no clue where the server is

Both the servers and website are experiencing issues, both of which are hosted through separate companies. What is the likelihood that both companies would have the same problem at the same time? Neither company has reported outages of service or maintenance on their servers, meaning this is a localized incident.

The "Feds" unfortunately have bigger matters to deal with than some 12 year old being angry over a ban from a Garry's Mod community.
