Remember Maban said not to focus so much on the messenger but of the message. Now we can understand why he said this a bit better. But if what he said had some truth to it, that statement still rings true, doesn't it?

Ah, right you are.. it is old.. I thought this was a new topic since it was on the recent threads or whatever.. nevertheless.. my first two arguments are still relevant.. and I do agree the American people would NEVER let that happen.. my first argument is sarcastic in nature.. an occupation of the United States would be neither swift nor easy.. if even possible.

I have a question on the ip thing.
Providing the account was banned from multiple activity from a singlar ip address, don't you think if these guy's had the technology spoken of as far as communications, and operating with stealth over the internet, that they would have had the skills to either bounce their tunnel through a few public servers in different countries or similar to obscure their ip, or maybe even have a few different ISP's through which they post?
Not hard to get a few different dial up accounts or even spoof your ip/mac address these day's.

The American people, though they may be blind, they will not let a foreign entity come in and rule over there lives. The American people are far too proud to let such non-sense happen.

Now....
Whew...
Having said all that - there is a darker element at play here. I was admittedly having a great time tracking these guys down and it was a little addicting to see the pieces fall in place.
However, there are a couple of things I found that I wish I hadn't. Although I am 99% convinced this was a hoax there is a teeny bit of nagging doubt.
I am being purposely vague on this information because it gives me pause. Also I don't want to "out" the wrong person or give away personal info.
- The street address of the owner of the gaming server is a company that makes sophisticated communications equipment.
- That company is also a Defense Department contractor.
- The name of the guy who owns the server is also the name of a research scientist who works on some very sophisticated projects dealing with advanced energy production. I want to be very clear that I am NOT saying it's the same guy, however this guy works on the same technologies in real life that Maban talked about with us on this forum and by U2U
It's a mystery. Just when I think I am the "man" and have solved it, a new piece surfaces.
Like many of you I still get chills when I consider the (albeit distant) possibilities.
