Time to form a lynch mob...

[Sirc]

Someone has obviously managed to develop a hack that screws up SS:SE servers. Including the Outlaws servers. :mad:

So I have decided to assemble a lynch mob. Sign up here and feel free to vent your frustrations at this unfortunate turn of events. What shall we do with the person(s) responsible for this unspeakable atrocity? IMHO no revenge is too severe. :devil:

Let the pointless and ineffectual venting begin! :w00t:

[Slash]

I just started a warped server again to see if it is affected as well. Oh, and count me in on the mob deal.

[Sauron]

I am in too :devil: :devil: :devil:

[Grimmy]

I am in. Curious how this infor became about. I think I know a few people that might be able to help ;)

[Diablo]

Me too

[Saretta]

I'm in too :devil: :devil:

[Goober]

OH....please let me join in the fun......I have read much in my 45 years. I know horrible things thought up by the Apache Indian.... a few from the 19th century Japanese...and many others. I would be proud to share this information in the eventual discovery of the coldhearted and evil minded hackers....How dare they impinge upon our fun. :mad:

COUNT ME IN TO KICK ASS!!!!!!!!!

I TRIED TO PLAY A GAME AROUND 4AM AND DIDNT SEE ANY SERVERS UP. THAT IP LOOKS FAMILIAR AND WILL LOOK AT MY RECORDS WHEN I GET HOME. I THINK IT IS WHO I THINK IT IS. DAMN I AM GOING TO LEAVE HERE EARLY TO CK THE IP ADDRESSES BUT CANT DO NOTHING UNTIL I GET TO MY HOME. SLASH I WILL BE INTOUCH WITH YOU TO RESOLVE THIS.

[SALvation]

We're tracing the IP right now...

:devil:

[Slash]

It traces to digital data connections in Martinsville VA. www.digdat.com

So what did the member have to say about it?

[Slash]

Here is what he said to me:

Sammay 41: me crashing servers was not intentional :\
OUTLAWS Slash: oh really, you have been doing it for a day now
Sammay 41: yeah it started last night when i tried to play on psycho marz's server and I thought it was just his server crashing and on the forums it said everyone had a problem with servers crashing so i had no idea it was me
OUTLAWS Slash: ic, why do you think you are bringing servers down?
Sammay 41: i played fine yesterday afternoon as "Shadow Legacy" but around 11 or so I downloaded some new object skins and changed my name, then i tried to go to psycho marz's server and it crashed
OUTLAWS Slash: ic, well I am sure you can understand the banning. If you want to reinstall freshly, let me know and I will unbann you
Sammay 41: ok
Sammay 41: i dont have my sam cd with me right now but i will reinstall tomorrow :-)
Sammay 41: thanks for unbanning me and i am so sorry for ruining those games people were playing :-(
OUTLAWS Slash: np, just let me know
OUTLAWS Slash: what and where did you get the skins?
Sammay 41: ill look for the site, they said they changed the knife/cannon/shotgun and changed the blood effects
OUTLAWS Slash: ic, those will only work on your own box, if the server does not have them nobody else will see them
Sammay 41: so that wasn't what was crashing the server?
OUTLAWS Slash: it most likely was
Sammay 41: oh
OUTLAWS Slash: anyway let me know of the site you found them and please tell me when you have uninstalled and reinstalled
OUTLAWS Slash: thnx

[Sirc]

Cool. A happy ending. :thumbs:

[Snip3r]

Hey those skins sound sexeh!

[ME BIGGD01]

i am not sure you should of posted how he was crashing it but i guess faith is ok.

[Slash]

I don't know what skin it was that was crashing them.

[Grimmy]

well if it happens again, atleast we know something to look at, and how to find out who it is :thumbs:

[SASQUATCH]

WHo ever he is I still would not let him in until he cleans out his system. You can't be to sure how or when it happen and where it came from.
SLash play it safe a wait until he cleans out his system before letting him in ok.

This is what I would consider doing in case it may happen again.

Please consider ok Slash.
