But then again, looks like we can never get any decent admins around here.....
For crying out loud Miner.
CS, Phear, Neph, Bas, Phoe (was good the whole 10 minutes he was here), AJ et al will all make a great addition to the team.
And me
What exactly is the problem with every previous and current admin (answers on a postcard, dont clog this thread, or better yet PM me please, curious minds would like to know)

But as its already here i have 2 questions;
1. Why would psy, over a year of admining, doing ALOT of work. Then suddenly decide to fuck up the servers and everything else only to then come and say his life should be returning to normal and return to his 'duties'? This to be doesnt make sense, only a lunatic would do that.
2. I knew psy quite well, at least i thought, he broke off contact with me and alot of us. When we spoke alot, even planning on meeting up during the holidays. He mentioned how he thought the league would die without all the work he would do. The only motive i could see of him doing this intentionally is that, he saw that the new admins are doing a GOOD job. So he decided to spice things up a bit.
Either way, im glad the admins are doing something regarding the security but perhaps this shouldnt have been made as publically aware as it has been. As humph pointed out some people are going to enjoy this thread for the fun of flames and conspiracy theories that are gonna come up, rather than the more important issue of security to the league.
A email (which had been done by admin team) to clan server owners and to clan league representatives might have been a more secure approach.
But anyway keep up the good work,
Mc
Obviously, just my 0.02$ and guesses here :
1. I think you answered your own question there. Or, as was suggested in the logs, he came back to see if he could get the passwords to keep going with it - as far as he was concerned it was untraceable and nobody would know it was him.
2. And I guess you are answering your own question again there Mc.
Psy had access to virtually every league, clan and public server in this community, if it wasnt made properly public like this he could easily have continued to crash servers in his spare time, if people continued to trust him he could easily have screwed us all over until he got bored with it. Tell only the clan reps and server owners and the rumour mill starts then and there, and then the ADMIN COVERUP outcry. This is by far the most clean and direct approach. Out in the open and everyone is aware of the facts, not trying to piece them together through what was heard second or third hand.

To be honest, in all of Psys failings, I find it hard to believe that he would do that, EVEN after reading the logs.
And why the fuck the 'cover up' by the current admins?
If Psy was aware that the admins were locking everything down he may have stopped, which is a good outcome, but whats to prevent him doing it again at a later date. If he was aware that his IP was being logged, he may have tried more elaborate methods to try and prevent being caught. It was kept quiet simply to gather info and while the systems were being protected, no longer.

It's always possible there was a mistake along the way, however the chances of that are very very very small this time. There's a few more things which arent showing in the logs which have been cut out as well. (i hope i'm not talking away too much)To be more specific the command used to crash the servers isnt a very common command. Afaik it's quite "rare". It happened to be a command he and polle found out a while ago and both knew it would crash the server. Psy however said he didnt know it and simply forgot when asked about. No offense, but psy's memory aint that bad.. especially when it comes to this lol.
You might think, he aint that stupid to use his own connection etc, but do remember he used webadmin to "attack" . webadmin is not logged and i guess he did not expect admins to change the webadmin code just to show some more logging on who logged in and from what ip.
Just my 2 cents
Psy never forgets anything, he keeps logs of every conversation and can dig out the appropriate logs faster than I can even find where I keep mine. He wouldnt have forgotten that.

I find it all a bit hard to believe. I don't think that's Psy, but then I don't know him very well
All I know is I hope he didn't do any of this and that he comes back. UTA needs him I think.
UTA really doesnt, Useless. Since Psy left, the only real problems that I have seen have been the repeated server crashes and kicks. FDC have only had 1 war in the past 3 months on a league server that didnt need restarted half a dozen times during it, or 3-4 of FDC have been kicked during maps. Something I had openly blamed LeagueAS136 for, and I take it all back here and now. Take away the need for the admins to fix the servers after they have been deliberately screwed and the load suddenly becomes a lot easier to cope with. We really dont need someone who is going out of their way to break the league.
I have one more thing to add. In light of this, XBomb, I have to grudgingly admit that in the repeated conversation we had in the past - You may have been right after all.
