Oh I see. That sucks. Maybe admins can forward the perpetrators IP to authorities as this is a crime in many jurisdictions.

if it were only that simple. a DDos attack typically comes from many IP's at once, all flooding the server at the server at once. while i dont know much about them, i do know that typically its a bot network that is basically a bunch of infected computers all attacking a server at once. so its nearly impossible to narrow down who is actually attacking.

if anyone can explain it better. feel free to do so.

Yes I understand but if the person who threatened to DDOS used to play here and was banned, then the players IP would be reported. That's what I mean.

If someone who threatened to DDOS this server than turns around and does it without a proxy or sometype of IP mask they are incredibly dumb and deserve to be caught, but yeah damn near impossible. To crash a server theres so much data coming in from so many different "zombie ips" that it would be damn near impossible to narrow down.
