Hammer, I used to really like you as well and even when everyone was calling you arrogant I still tried to like you. However, launching a DoS attack is stupid and immature and you have destroyed your reputation. Honestly, you could have at least avoided some of it by telling the truth, but nope. You had to lie and attack a competitor. That's how business works, you get in fights and they will destroy you if you can't handle it well. Perhaps in a year or two, you'll be more mature and might be able to start afresh.
You can take down my server if you want to, I was planning on using it but at this point I don't care all that much.
