[quote="The ED! Foundation":6a278]IT is a good server.[/quote:6a278]While I appreciate that comment, you obviously miss the point of why IT is a good server. But that's neither here nor there, and this topic's already passed the point of no return.

[quote:6a278]What makes me go Hmmmm is why someone as bad as you (not PFC Green bad but worse), still plays this game.[/quote:6a278]And YOU can be the judge? hmmmm

[quote:6a278]And yes, I'm SOOOOOO very sure that millions of Jews, Germans, and Russians were killed because HITLER and STALIN got a - "kick" out of it. I suppose the US government gets a kick out of killing Panamians, Iranians, Iraqis, etc. simply cause it just makes them laugh out loud. Good point.[/quote:6a278]Another point lost on your genious. Hitler considered Jews as though they weren't really human, but less than. Stalin was just plain crazy IMO. Whereas blaming the US for deaths overseas is on another level entirely. We're talking genecide vs. politics/war. You can hardly say that the US has even come close to that level of brutality at any point of it's history. And in any case, I wasn't referring to their brutality, but more accurately their personalities. I wholeheartedly believe it takes one seriously ignorant SOB to act in that manner and call it humor - or for the good of the people. Apples and oranges, maybe, but still in the same ballpark as far as I'm concerned.

[quote:6a278]And while all of you dance around in a circle defining "crime" and jurisdiction and what constititutes federal cyber-terrorism; an FBI agent is looking at this thread and your petition and laughing. I have NEVER said what they are doing isn't illegal.

These mysterious "supporters" in the group ICE's friend works for just dont, and WONT give a shit. Stop to think about that, and accept that ladies and gentleman. This has ZERO to do about whether a crime has been committed or not, and everything to do with whether or not someone in a position of power will even bother.[/quote:6a278]While I wouldn't necessarily call myself a patriot and believe myself to be as cynical as John Lennon in terms of the US government, I wouldn't presume to say that the FBI's going to ignore a crime. In all honesty, even if the FBI were to ignore such a crime, it would be a huge mistake on anyone's part to assume that the FBI would ignore what you're doing when you're commiting said crime. I would rather refrain from going that route then finding myself holding my ankles while Bubba inspects my backside. Yet all along you can tell us because you know for a fact? Hmmmmm... I guess your intellect has no bounderies, Ed.

[quote:6a278]Perhaps you can all get over yourselves enough to realise that and do the one thing that should have been done ages ago in regards to Team GOD...

Ignore them.

As it stands - this thread no doubt has them rolling in the aisles.[/quote:6a278]I'm quite sure you're right. But I have no doubt that only ignorance could sheild you from the fact that you can't get away with doing whatever you want regardless of who you're effecting forever. If you overstep your bounds and hinder someone else's rights within the letter of the law, eventually you're going to have to pay a price. I only appaud Noctis for his initiative to make a federal complaint about these ignorant punks. And if you think that I'm wrong about this whole thing, regardless of what country they're in, think about that kid from Malaysia who was arrested for the Red Alert virus. Damn thing spread across the world in 3 or 4 days and they had him in jail (even if it was in another country, it was still jail) within 2 weeks if I remember correctly. Was just a joke to him, but I doubt he's laughing now.

Insults aside (which seem to be the last line of defense for folks with no point to make), I applaud the level of optimism here. It's refreshing to see that the level of cynicism and distrust in the United States government isn't at a level where when PERSONAL gain is involved, we all wont spring to quick action. Kudos.

However, you can run in circles all day long debating what is crime, and what isn't - the important fact is what will register. The FBI is no different than local cops...report that cell phone missing, or egads ed: stolen...see how fast and how many men are placed on that case. You are talking about a couple of server you THINK TeamGOD has crashed (brazen message boards boasts aside - which are hardly an admission of guilt usable), against the hundreds of deadly cases of cyber-terrorism going on right now. If anyone DOES take a look at this "case" - it'll be cursory, and I'd imagine you'd all be sitting on your thumbs for a long time.

And Powell...keep up the good work.

Ed is the kinda person that SHOULD be draggeed down the street and shot
SHOULD be gang rapped by a bunch of escaped convicts
SHOULD fall prey to a pack of rabid gerbals
SHOULD get hit by a go-cart so that it hurts like hell but doesn't kill him
and repeat all those over and over and over and over........

Whatsamatter ed? 1st it was "noone will care or look at this from the fbi" now its "if they do only a few will look at it". whats next? "Ok, so there are 3 FBI AGENTS looking at it and investigating. they are tracking ip's and assigning them to attacks made on servers in the last few days and to posts bragging (which if tracked IS an admission of guilt, same as a letter is) about those attacks. so what"

Key word here....FBI AGENTS. Only takes 1 to gather the needed proof to prosecute. Matter of fact, MOST cases handled by the fbi are only assigned 1 or maybe 2 agents, but those get solved don't they? but I guess thats different huh, Because you know everything and can see the future. So why not just shut the FBI down if it does no damn good to anyone?

They wont take a look at it. Deal with it. This isn't the XFILES my friend; the FBI works MUCH different than that. You wont have the skeptic working with the Dungeons and Dragon player who believes that nerds are out to take over the world.

But your insight into the structure of the FBI is intriguing and I'm certain id like to discuss this further....

Oh yea.

I read the first few posts and found it hard not to laugh. Regardless if it's illegal or not, chances are an isp will not drop someone from their services. I know of a little clan much like teamgod called myg0t. They have had nuumerous threats and post such as the one starting this topic. And they are still around. The only members of myg0t who have lost their isp are ones who were involved in much more serious online offenses then server crashing. Also make note that teamgod, myg0t and other clans of that nature are on these boards and many other boards just like this watching what people say about them and laugh. You are just giving them what they want entertainment.

[Drew]

I like that they laugh, though. Because it just makes it more amusing every time I hang up the phone after talking to a webhost, an ISP, or the FBI.

I've spoken with an agent in the Norfolk, VA field office. They're waiting for me to decide whether or not to testify.

Whether or not I do will depend greatly upon a few factors, including action taken by TG's webhost, and my over-all willingness to ruin someone's life.

decisions decisions
i want these guys punished but jail time is harsh
lawsuits OK but jail time?!
some one fucked with you a couple times and you want to take a few years off their life? THAT is fucked up

[MPowell1944]

i can understand what Noctis is saying. if these punks keep stealing money from server admins, then maybe jailtime will straighten them out. its not as if they give a crap. no matter what we throw at them, they shove it off and keep stealing money. maybe a side beating wouldn't be inappropriate.
