Wow, woke up this morning before work and LTC servers were down. Brought them back online when I got to work.
An HOUR later, they are down again.

I'm pretty sure the person(s) that are taking the servers down are going to be reading this thread laughing his/her little ass off.
I have something to say to you, so here goes.
I remember the days when I was like you to. Using my programming skills for the wrong way. Yeah its a good laugh to see the connection list to drop. I used to do it with a few older games. Then I grew the **** up! 5years ago I stopped doing that and started to create mods/games.
I can bet you £100 GBP if you started to actually contribute to a community rather than trying to bring it down - you will get a lot more out of it. Personally, I love to hear people say "love this krammeh" and "omg, this rocks who made it?".
I really think that you need to get out of the immaturity that you're currently going through. I'm sure that you know that your skills are high and quite needed around the world of online gaming.
There are lots of ways to contribute to a community - hacking them down to the ground is not the way to do it.
LTC's servers have been down twice today, although it does not take me very long to actually start the servers up, and the fact that I am online most of the time as I work on the computers. The only issue is that it makes many people very unhappy.
I have noticed which servers you are "targeting", and its all of the popular servers. I'm guessing that you are not getting what you want from LFS or something. Maybe you should stop treating the game community like absolute shite and actually try and put something back into the game. If you put something into the game rather than attempting to rip the community to shreds.
As I am sure that you can tell from what the rest of the community is saying - We don't care how long it takes before the devs bring out a patch to stop your shitty little exploit abusing program, we'll still be here waiting to live in harmony again.
I have my suspicion as to who it is, and if it is that person then I guess this is just another thing to be added to your offenses onto your LFS tab. I wish there was a "human-ident" within the world of the internet. Then we could properly ban a "person".
That is all that I have to say to you.
Oh, and by the way - i have a nice little program in development which will first of all automatically reload the server if/when they crash/drop out. Also, it will channel all in/out network transfer to each server, and I will filter out the hack that you have made. Silly you documented exactly how you done it, so I will be writing a nice little application that stops this issue, and I will release it to the whole LFS community!
