I've got Norton AntiVirus and check regulary, so that's really weird. Doing a full system scan now. :(

Yeah, I just sent an e-mail to their support staff. I'm clean of virusses, so maybe they'll avert the decision.

Oh? You should have notified me. Please tell me IP address in question and I'll unblock it if possible. I had to add 248 different IP addresses / ranges to the blocking list when Marsh8472 did distributed attacks towards the site. The largest of those ranges contains 131072 IP addresses. It's the curses of dynamic IPs. Makes hoodlums harder to ban without harming innocents...

I can't understand how this guy can act like nothing happened at all. He flooded our forum with hundreds of automated registrations and other requests in attempt to bring the server down, using over 150 distinct IP addresses (cracked computers) a few weeks ago. He intiminated me, seemingly enjoying the concept of being unstoppable. His homepage lists chatroom flood programs and other utilities of malice he has made. I told him I will not accept that kind of people - people who turn into criminals out of whim - among our contributors. He also said he'll go looking for a site that "has some integrity" instead of my site. So I wonder what he is doing here now.

To which he replied that him acting like nothing happened is closest thing to apology I'll ever get. Later he posted this. That's Marsh in a nutshell. :) So, the IP?

I've been unbanned. :) Those guys at ETG support are cool; fast reply, even though I was supposed to send them a screenshot of my virus scanner proving my computer's clean, which I hadn't sent yet. And crackers suck. I'm glad you know how to act against them, because those people are ridiculous for thinking they can just barge into someone's site and take over. They're the most selfish people in the world.

I find it funny when kids get a program that hacks something, then think they are some kind of great hacker. "Look, I'm so smart, I hacked a website!" Very good. My grandparents can run a program too. I beleive this kind of person is called a "script kiddie". They are also known to think they are cool because they can type in l33t sp33k. :D
