RE: Bartcop chat (a major political hang)

From FUD --

The main chat server went down so i call the owner of the machine.He says he called the server farm and they said it was a cut cable.

So i call 8 hours later and he explains the fbi confiscated every machine at the co location because some kid was doing a denial of service attack on visa.This was just one machine out of bunch and they took them all which hosted thousands of websites.Todd the owner is trying to talk to the FBI to get his drive back.

This is insane...they march in and grab every single machine because of one snot nosed kid that decided to attack another site.There were backups on the site but what good is it if they grab it.The one box hosted over a hundred sites,and the others i don't know about but they had a ton of machines there.

Where the fuck is the FBI when it came to anthrax attacks on democrats?Anyway this is from the owner and it isn't his fault but he should of kept backups locally.I never dreamed the gov would go to these extremes.Welcome to Ashcrofts America.

LOD Customers: On February 14th, at approximately 11:00 AM - the ISP (foonet) where we co-located our IRC/Shell/Eggdrop server mizar, went abruptly out of business. We were given no prior warning or ahead time from them that this was about to happen. We were finally able to get an answer from their technical support at about 7:30 PM, at which time we were informed they were shut down permanently and we would have to make arrangements to try to get the data off of our co-located server at some time in the next few days.

We have already obtained a replacement server (65.215.220.202), (It should be available for us to begin user account setup by Sunday, Feb 15 afternoon). Please contact us at our (602)-549-3367 phone number and we will begin creating accounts ASAP. We are not able to give you an exact time as to when we can pull your account information from the old mizar box as we are simply at the mercy of the timeframe of foonet.

We greatly apologize for the inconvenience, and appreciate your patience and understanding. We will work as quickly as possible to get you all back up and running.
