Same happened to me today, a player (that was not actually new) was threatening me over PM to "f**k up my network" a few seconds after, he/she got banned and 1 min after that "Server are reconnecting..", i told an admin about this.
I don't think this is just a coincidence, if i get a threat like that, he/she got banned and then server goes down.
This person got banned for "attempting Ddos attack on server" And i have talked with this person alot, and he/she is from Norway, and in Norway DDos attack is not allowed.. If any admin want the user name for this person, please PM me.
All the Ddos attacks are destroying everybody that's in middle of an RP or anything else. People gets tired of it and starts to argue and stuff..
People are "afraid" to start any good RP because of the server are restarting all the time due to attackers, its not the way Argonath/SAMP is used to be, i really hope these attackers get caught soon.
