I haven't been able to be involved with the VATSIM community over the past year or two (I was formerly quite an active member).  But I do generally keep up with the Forum talk and everything that goes on.  I noticed that the forums were closed out and got to thinking how odd that was.  I ventured to the VATUSA website just tonight and saw the message that David Klain sent out.  Everyone who visits this forum and knows who I am...well you know me, and I give y'all a shout out now.  Hope you all are doin good.

Anyways getting to my point.  It's really a despicable act that someone has engaged in attacking the network and causing all these problems.  VATSIM stands as a beacon in a very specialized field (of flight simulation).  At least you know one thing...your standards and way of doing things is enough to make someone quite upset and jealous.  Hopefully they don't move on to this server next (or any other private sub-VATSIM division/artcc website).

Good luck to everyone that is dealing with the crisis...like Bryan said in another post, I'm sure it will be resolved soon and hopefully the FBI will be able to track down the SOB that's so pissed off with us.
