first world problems!

It really is though. Why would you want to launch a ddos attack on a server enjoyed by hundreds? Notice it hasn't got him his fungi tunic back or had any positive result.

thought it was my shitty as shit knology internet to blame as usual, but not this time.

Long story short some guy came into IRC threatening to ddos attack the server because he and/or his friend(s) didn't get immediate GM assistance with some lost items (I think he got scammed out of them? I dunno, the player and petition he referenced doesn't exist).

There's nothing I can do about it really. Even if I wanted to help him, he didn't make reference any valid petitions or accounts, but he also came in probably looking for a reason to flaunt his shiny new rental botnet.

Distributed Denial of Service; flood a target system with so much traffic it either gets bogged down or crashes completely. Requires large amounts of traffic depending on the target system. It is increasingly easy to assemble the computing power required to do these things.
