If you've regularly been frequenting PPIrC via webchat you may have noticed some recent issues (webchat is hosted on henrietta).
Due to a bunch of Korean jerkoffs who tried to extort me for server OP on the Battle.net server we run, I have no choice but to kill the gameserver entirely. There is no debate over this. If you want to get pissed get pissed at the script kiddies who're angry I didn't give a couple of complete random strangers total control over the server.
Webchat will be down until further notice.

>opens telnet, tries to connect
>can't play Nethack
Nooooo ...
The only choice is to DDOS Korea.
-
As the one that originally asked for the Bnet server, I fully intend to take responsibility for not looking after it carefully enough.
-
Wasn't your fault, I pissed off the dudes when they came knocking going OH HEY A DDOS IS COMING GIVE US SERVER OPS AND WE CAN STOP IT. I told them to either give me the info so I can handle it myself or fuck off, and gee, they delivered.
-
People are lame. :/
It was a good run. Thanks for providing the server for us. :)
Best of luck in sorting out whatever issues arose from this.
-
Edit:
Well, that is kind of suck. This is why we cannot have nice things for sure. What the hell do you want with BNet Operator Powers anwyay? It is not like we got 10000000 users.
-
A moment of silence for the game server.
...

Terrible turn of events that happened here, but we'll manage. Thanks to TSO and everyone for the game server, it was great while it lasted, and I'm sorry it had to go down this way.
@Pesco: It'd be my fault for encouraging the Korean group to come to the server to play with us anyway, I'll take the hit for that.
@TSO: I apologize this happened, good luck with fixing up our mess.
-
I don't blame the entire Korean community, because most of them were just to play. It is just always a rotten apple. A Bad Apple.
-
It was good while it lasted. (it's kind of sad that the last game on the dots server wasn't actually dots :V)
And thanks for the server.
-
Sad to see it getting dropped for a bunch of idiots.
Nevertheless, thanks TSO and in fact, whole lot of MotK for giving us the maximum support for DotS.
...Man, it's been a while since I found that game and presented it to everybody around. It was still on diapers, but sure we had a blast.
-
Alas, what an abrupt and tragic ending. And I had only recently joined... :(
Well, it was fun for the few weeks I was there. Thanks.
-
I don't know the fate of the other game servers at this moment but as it stands now the bnetd is gone and never coming back. I may have to get rid of henrietta entirely or find another host for her if the attacks persist.

Jesus, how much would that set you back, financially? Because I'd seriously kick in for that.
But I still think we should DDOS Korea. Just to be on the safe side.
-
Sigh... o7
Yeah, what good would server ops do for preventing a DDOS anyway? Sounds real fishy to me. Jerkoffs ruining everything.
Really hope things will get resolved well TSO. If you need any help, financially or otherwise in relocating henrietta, just yell. It's been a fun run on the server and I'll chip in for anything to make things better.
-
Well, this is not a good development. Seemed like a great place too, going by other users' comments....T_T
-
Thak you for setting up a server to allow us to play our games.
-
It was fun while it lasted. Thanks for setting up this server for us, TSO. Sorry it turned out the way it did. :(
-
Webchat should be back up in its temporary home, flush your DNS cache if it isn't working.
-
Shame.
I was expecting to go back to Webchat as soon as I had time, but saw this thread and my hopes were immediately dashed.
Thank you TSO for giving us this server. It's been a fun time.
-
So that's why it's down huh...
Well thanks a lot for providing the server for us, TSO!
-
Uhh, what does [16:32] == ERROR: Closing Link: [72.14.189.207] (CGI:IRC -- No access) <-- Mean?
Apparently the irc server is back up and I can't join it. Sadfaec.
-
I already told you that it's probably because of webchat.
The IRC itself was never down.
-
I pointed the webchat back to Henrietta but forgot to update the IRC server settings to allow it. I'll fix it ASAP.
-
=[ What a bunch of noob koreans.
