Yeah, I left you a whole bunch of TCP packets and incomplete requests on every socket, under your Christmas tree as a gift for the holidays.
Maybe next time you'll think twice before keep a grudge for nearly a decade.
"Oh help, we need help, it's all over the forums (along with adverts) and someone has asked if they can return to help out, because they loved the place but had a bad time of it several years ago".
"No, go away, you're permanently banned for something you did in 2010".
Happy new year, Japo - you could've been nice at Christmas, but you weren't.
Some people never change - but then again, some do.
I can be uncompromisingly vindictive too, since that's how you decided to play it.
So - from the 23rd until the 27th I slowed the site, esp for those who's ping would be higher than 30ms (it's far more annoying than taking it offline... and I noticed Gx and Mm and a "hidden" user came online to allow me to mitm their login details).
A special Christmas gift for you all. Courtesy of Japo, cabron.
Santa Claus sock puppet was even created and posted from the same IP address as the unwanted guest you threw out like trash..! (At Christmas...)
It could've been very different...
You might've given someone a chance to redeem themselves, working 10 times as hard as before in some act of atonement for the sins of a previous life.
But - denied.
Therefore - denied.
I'll ask again next Christmas.
Maybe you'll be nicer then.
Also, I'm fine thanks, Capo - it was nice to see you again
Hope you're well and doing fine!
