They're indicating there was no breach of data, but that they'll likely be down for 3 to 10 days as they find a new ISP to host their site.

Maybe somebody's mad about the utter dearth of eastfront WWII wargames.

He was convicted & did a few years for lewd conduct with a 14-15 year old in his home.
On September 13, 2002 the Hanford (California) Sentinel reported:
"Eldon Gene Billingsley, 42, of Hanford, was sentenced to three years in
state prison Monday after being charged with touching a young girl
inappropriately in January at his home. This is the maximum term, District
Attorney's officials said, for molestation of a child of 14 to 15 years
old." (Sentencing 09-09-02; Department 2; Case #02-4216)

But I still think that GMT is an example of how to do right, as a company, for the company's target market as a whole. My position is that I like how GMT conducts their business, which is all I really expect from a company. In an ideal world GMT will outlast it's current staff and continue to be a shining example of how to support your audience and celebrate your niche.

I can't help but combine all the facts in this case: that GMT games' founder was a sex offender, that the site went down due to "denial of service" and that their most famous title is Twilight Struggle.
Whoa.
Did you blokes know that DragonCon's founder is a TWO TIME kiddie diddler?

A lot of perverts in the game industry. Maybe some of them get into games to be around children. In any event, I'm not in favor of capital punishment, but sex offenders are high on my list of people that should be shot, cheaply, through the eye socket. Something about knowing it's coming, and the last thing they'll see is a look of disgust and disdain.

I think that if he paid the price via doing time, then that is all society should ask of him. The idea of permanent ostracism is too much, especially if he hasn't had any issues since. But the company blatantly lying as transparent PR move is not ok.

I'm just kind of trying to figure out why the DDoS would happen, I'm grasping at straws.
