Most people don't think about this but when you have servers that are 2-3 years old, the price of the server are also from 2-3 years ago and don't include protection against current sizes of DDoS attacks that grow bigger every month. Most hosts will tell you to just get a new IP and let the old server expire.
If you are able to weather them now it is probably in no small part because we reported every exploited server we were attacked with for the past month.
I see, did not know that.
As for the bottom as I did say; I kept my beliefs mainly to myself, and figured I may as well keep doing that. In hindsight it was a wrong assumption but one can admit that its not hard to draw uneducated conclusions coinciding with the attack. I think with the tensions high others may have drawn the same conclusions.
But, as the quote does say "I haven't shared my beliefs with midnight, or anyone for that matter" save the person that conversation was with. At no point did I ever publically or privately say it was Skial behind the attacks, so I don't believe I've done wrong as far as that goes. And my point stands I did all I could to get him to back off with the accusations.
