    DDoSing is illegal, thus it's so bizarre to me that Twitter lets tweets like this stay up. Imagine someone saying "In roughly 20-30 mins. Will rob local convenience store. Just putting on mask =)"...

    Imagine someone saying "In roughly 20-30 mins. Will rob local convenience store. Just putting on mask =)" and Twitter just shrugging about it.

    I'll never understand the appeal of a DDOS attack. Like hacking and defacing a site I can get, it's like breaking in and tagging the place. Maybe it's because it takes skills to deface a site whereas any retard can watch a YouTube video and DDOS a server.

    Myzrael just spiked to 900ms and everyone got kicked off.

    edit: Well that was shortlived. By the time I posted this the server was back up with normal pings.

    edit: Spoke too soon. 2000ms game latency and people being kicked off again.

          They're marketing themselves. The guy seems to have the intention of selling his services.
