Occasionally, our little hobby grabs the attention of the mainstream press—usually when things go astray. The BBC posted a news item this morning about the destruction of Avsim by hackers. I whole-heartedly agree with Derek Davis’s quote from the end of the article – Avsim will indeed rise from the ashes. The article also quotes me (albeit unattributed) from a post I made on SimFlight: there is a special place in hell for hackers who pull stunts like this.
It’s almost worth going to hell just to kick those *&^#% in the nuts when I get there.

Well said, if this was a hacker attack then I just hope the person who did it is found. Until then I’d hope that ‘finger pointing’ comes to an end.
