DDoS'ing is breaking the Computer Fraud and Abuse act :') It can be against a home internet and still be as serious

Lets hope we never find out who it is, since they can get up to 1 year is prison depending upon the country ;)

You're just very popular. It's not all we have lined up for TF2C though!

This make up for that Spenny?

Pl_badwater_pro_v8 is blacklisted on serveme. This is the chat log between me and Arie:
"23:10 - TF2C | Exze: Why is it blacklisted? I've made a post in the mod area of the TF2C forums. We should have it removed from the TF2C map list soon anyway :)
23:10 - Arie - serveme.tf: "it's unstable and crashes a bunch of my servers around the globe"
23:10 - Arie - serveme.tf: :P
23:11 - Arie - serveme.tf: If you select it as the first map, it just crashes the server on startup
23:11 - Arie - serveme.tf: with plugins, without plugins, linux servers, windows servers, servers in EU ,servers in NA"

Badwater_pro_v9 is also known to cause client problems when downloading the map for the first time, and so TF2C will use Badwater_pro_v7 as the default badwater until a newer version comes out.

Unfortunately there's no such thing as effective DDoS protection. Due to the nature of DDoSing, the only way stop a DDoS attack is to increase your data flow to stupidly high levels (which would mean that any amount of data sent to the server would be handled with) - and that's pretty costly; by closing the server, which would obviously give the zombie computers (Peers in this guys programs) nothing to target; or by blocking the IP of every zombie computer that the server detects. And seeing as this program has over 2000 available to use, I can't see TF2C doing that.
