Just hope you go after the "hackers" (if that's what they really were)
with all the force of the law.

We are all looking forward to the MPEG of the Freeper doing the perp walk.

3. Isn't the proper term 'spamming'?
Quite a pathetic loser, really.

4. If this script kiddie used some form of automation to disrupt operations
that's not spamming. That's cracking (to use the more polit-technically correct term).

If I come on here and start peddling a miracle penis enlargement concoction, that's spamming.

Fortunately, this time he or she was just "counting coup" on us. Next time, how about a dump out of the IP addresses of every user of the board, so they can target our home computers?

How about taking the board offline?

I think Skinner should run down the last IP he can trace, sic a lawyer on whoever hosts it. If they aren't the source, I'm sure they'll be very willing to help, if only to avoid liability.

6. Obviously a Script
Thank goodness for the 'ignore' function.

Here comes the 30-second rule, I'd suppose.

7. Nah, it was a quick copy and paste.
I can post 190 posts in 10 minutes if there isn't a subject.

15. Actually it is spamming... though it could rise to the level of DOS
both of wich could come under the category cracking since they are generally mallious and thats what crackers usually do, trying to circumvent the rules in an unauthorized manner.

hacking is what i do., writing code and it's a good thing ;->

8. It's not a hacking...
This person is too stupid to hack anything. A monkey can make multiple postings and clog up a server--but monkey's are too intelligent to waste their morning doing something that lame.

9. At what point
does it become a DNS attack, which I know can be prosecuted? I'm sure he can be tracked down.
