  1. March 1st. How Do They Know? on DALnet For Chatting, Not File Sharing · · Score: 1

    Since DalNet has issued statements regarding this matter on their site, quote; "A person or group of persons unknown are using Distributed Denial of Service techniques to litterally destroy our network. In doing so they are causing great inconvenience to our hosts as well as to us and our users. By the very nature of DDoS it's almost impossible to trace and impossible to defend against." I wonder how it is then that they can now say that they will implementing new rules come March 1st. Are they suggesting that by March 1st the denial of service attacks are going to stop? If so, how do they know? Why change the rules if barely anyone can access their servers anyway? Maybe they know why they are being attacked, by whom and changing the rules will stop the attacks. I for one have considered the attacks were done in a way to stop file-sharing. A possibility anyway.
