Every public server that takes part in the statistics, ranks of game, server, etc, gets a lot of competitors...
And some of them, who see they lose positions very fast, like to blame other servers and do not see their own problems...
And some of them start cheating - rising servers popularity by bots, sending crashers to other servers...
Crashers are not those hackers, who hate the whole SA:MP...
From IPs we found out that mostly those who tried to crash our server, were cheaters, who got ban from server...
One banned player will write unban request and ask back with understanding our side too...
Other banned player will go away, shitting our server as hell and trying to find crash bots for revenge...
This was, this is, this will be...
So treat to it as to "other obstacle"...
From our side, developers of Argonath did and do their best to stop this kids... And we managed in it very good - thanks again to crashers...
So actually those crash attacks helped us a lot to learn a new part of servers work...)))
But with crash attacks on SA:MP - the SA:MP team made 0.2.1 version opened, and already included there a protection against crash...
Also they ask for the reports about any command, action, that crashes server, so they can develope this part too into protection system...
So with SA:MP it is easier and more effective fighting against crashers...
MTA team as I think - do not even care about what is going on servers...
