I just think it's ridiculous to destroy something like this - What's the point? I would understand if it was some multi-billion dollar company, or a bank, or a government institution, I can see reasonable (though disagreeable) motives there.
But what was the end goal here? To destroy some guy's hobby project that *only* benefits the community it was built by? What notoriety do you get in the hacking community for demolishing a 15+ year old website anyways? Surely there's no "street cred" for the penetration on this.
I wonder if the guy is getting hate from others in his own community - I imagine there has to be at least *some* crossover between hacking and vintage computing, there have to be a few people there who were aware of or liked this site and were disappointed that what is most likely some lonely college kid bricked a website they liked for no discernible reason.
It confuses and enrages me to no end, but maybe that's the point. Dude was just a troll to begin with and did it only to upset others. Indisputably the worst kind of person there is, one who takes actions only if they result in the worsening of life for others.
