What this situation really shows, besides character traits of certain individuals, is vulnerabilities.

I understand that this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened and that [TC] Admins had placed precautionary measures prior to the latest incident to counter future Denial of Service attacks.

Let's all try to take away as much as we can from this situation instead of placing blame, I trust things will unfold as they ought to.

See it the positive way, once [TC] is back, it will be even stronger than before, I'm sure

My biggest respect to [TC] and everyone involved for the great work over the years.

Chin up!
