               The issues being discussed among the server admins affect both Windows and Linux servers.  While Linux offers some additional options, there are some methods of attack the griefers use that either group of OS are equally vulnerable to.

One individual's choice to bring up the issue here and his posts on that subject make it fairly evident why he was removed.

               Just wondering are these like players that grief others or are they attacks being referred too more like, just methods to bring a server down, or perhaps a combination of both?
Personally I sort of understand the fromer, griefing other players, at least the childish mentality, but just to mess up a server with malicious code or dos attacks, or whatever just seems, well rather ignornant.
Ok I think I get it, it's the latter, just attacking the servers to bring them down. Jerks just being Jerks.

               To the clear-headed and descent FEW who have sent words in support THANK YOU - I want all involved to know I have recieved the best wishes of others who, like me find the actions and words of most of these supposedly mature and sociable operators of (windows based) nwn servers. This is one such example-

"Heya Ehye

Just wanted to say sorry for the abuse you got on the forums about your being booted.. I wish I could be ballsy enough to post in public defending you, but then we both know I will get ripped apart too...

I agree with your linux statment, I myself am running XP for my server and I wish I knew how to set-up a linux box...but just dont know how.

anyways. stay strong."

my reply;

"Thank you FRIEND NAME WITHHELD. I will be the first to admit this is the first time I've ever been 'thrown out of the country club' for being the wrong OS. I will also state for the record, I've never met a worse bunch of toads in need of parental supervision in my life either. The lot of them should be ashamed of themselves. Thank you for your words of support.

Be well. Game on.

I've always found it funny when someone acts hostile while at the same time seeks approval and acceptance from those it's directed at. If you really don't care dude, you wouldn't be posting. 

And... why hasn't this been locked down yet?

You overinflate your own importance in this case. I in no way desire your approval, rather I want you all to understand I was evicted for no better reason than 'It all was really a popularity contest with no rules published'. The whole hosted by an immature person with the power and desire to ban all who did not fit the secret rules.

May you all continue to enjoy being part of that oh-so-select group. I'll enjoy NOT BEING PART OF SUCH A FARCICAL AND CLOSED MINDED TROUPE. *waves*

Have fun with the hackers.

Be well. Game on.

Yes and it is indeed the same group that hit those servers back in 2005.

No biggie though as we have gotten a handle on it for the most part.

               Server drama does not belong in our forums. Please take it elsewhere. Thank you.

End of line.
