As part of the devs farewell message on their site, they have included malicious code to make each visitor sends 2,000 requests to the dbzer0 servers in an attempt to DDOS and take the instance offline.

Piefed dev doing something similar on the flagship instance, and has some odd philosophies on what should be filtered out in the code.

When people started pointing it out and asking questions called it harassment and tried to get instances to instance ban them all.

Best part was insulting everyone looking at the code if you didn't ask on their specific comm.
