Doesn't this fall under cyber terrorism and if committed in the US, considered a federal felony?

[Halladar]

Would only allowing ip numbers registered at the forum to connect at all help?

By that I mean you supply an ip number when you create an account.

It may not work at all, since validation is through the eqemu login server.

I don't know what all is involved in a ddos attack, but if something like ip registration doesn't help, does that mean virtually any site could be dropped by a hoster if someone is mad enough at them?

Doesn't help us in any way.

The devs/project manager need to decide if/how/where/when.

They probably have a lot of questions to ask first.

Denial-of-service attacks are considered violations of the IAB's Internet proper use policy, and also violate the acceptable use policies of virtually all Internet Service Providers. They also commonly constitute violations of the laws of individual nations.

Good luck finding out who did it and fronting the lawyer bills.

Yes someone call DHS. I'm sure they will put Steven Segal on the case.

I know you can get front-facing, DDoS-hardened proxies that forward the traffic on to your server, never exposing its real IP to the public.

Something worth looking into.

There is always a solution to a problem. No matter what.

A crime is a crime, you don't need a lawyer, they need a lawyer, you would only need a lawyer if you wanted money out of it.

And knowing these assholes would face federal prison time for being idiots would be good enough for me.
