As part of the devs farewell message on their site, they have included malicious code to make each visitor sends 2,000 requests to the dbzer0 servers in an attempt to DDOS and take the instance offline.

    I saw a vaguely similar situation a long time ago where someone was a positive, contributing member of the community and then they fell from grace somehow and basically no one was thankful enough so they were banned and they just kept evading the bans and posting smut in the forums for weeks.

    The way this guy has really thrown his weight into this but still obviously feels like the victim is really reminiscent, I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some more to come.

      That’s weirdly sort of how I got my job.

      Apparently my predecessor was a nice guy with low boundaries that (at the time) lacked managerial support. When he painted himself into a corner on his commitments, didn’t get the accolades or raises he thought he should get, he got bitter, started to act out, stopped doing work he should have done, and finally, when management started pressing him to clean up some messes he had created over a year+ of neglecting his responsibilities, he left an unsigned resignation letter on his desk and didn’t come to work for a few days.
      He called to discuss the terms of his return, expecting a raise, and they just told him they accepted his resignation.

        LOL. Sounds like an idiot. Even if the guy was really needed, you can’t have someone like that on your team.
