Driverheaven performance problems

***Zardon*** · Oct 9, 2003, 11:01 AM

Just an update guys for everyone posting and pming me and the other admins on performance problems on the site today, we are aware of the problem and at the minute we are putting this down to another DOS attack, several of which have happened recently. Everything will be done to get things up and going again but for the meantime please just bear with us until it resolves.

Dos attacks are gay , theese morons have been Killing IRC for a few years much to the extent that their is hardly any servers on for the largest , networks DALnet, IRCnet , EFnet, etc etc to the extent the servers are unuasable ... i think the little pr1cks should get a kicking if found

take their comps away & through them in juvy & make them the official 'soap picker uppers'. that is about all they are good for. at least 'real' criminals have the idea in the back of their heads that they are trying t o get some financial gain to improve their lives. these wannabes just destroy. period. they do not even have the smarts to take the few skills the have & get a job or turn it into something profitable( i knpow mos tare young but there is always options if you are smart enough & have the will)
