Someone is gonna get a royal ****ing if they get caught.

I have nothing against denial attacks.....unless they're against businesses/money making institutions/anything to do with commerce/customers.

Take your mates website down for a laugh.....could generate a giggle or three, but this is something far more serious.

But you got the reference, so job done

I quoted Kittens post, where she referenced post#10, which contains no link.
Capiche?

I didn't notice Kelly posting the actual link under it.

In reply, it's hardly solid evidence to show someone isn't telling porky pies by providing evidence from the same person is it?

I'm not a liar, because I said so.

Doesn't really stand up, does it?
Note, I'm not saying it is a falsehood.....I'm simply pointing out that just because this is the reason given it may not be true.

I'm not that interested in how it is being done but I am more than a little curious as to who'd be petty enough to go to these lengths, surely people can't hold such serious grudges over either the forums or the shop?

I'm assuming APOL is just being deliberately obtuse out of boredom or something

It's all good now, as Kelly posted a link to the text anyway

If anyone, i'd guess someone from a looooong time ago with a very serious grudge. I don't want to name names for obvious reason but the 'obvious' recent suspect I don't think is even remotely a possibility, it would be stupid, far too soon. I'm also not really sure whether he would even know how to / where to go to get this sort of thing done anyway. You can't exactly google it.

Lol.
I'm all for mischief, but I draw the line at costing a company money. That, and the inconvenience their customers are having.

As I said, if it IS an attack then I hope the full weight of the law is directed at the culprit.
Committing online crime is fairly easy, but covering your tracks is not.....far from it in fact.
