Shogo Cheaters -- 8:17 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

I've been told that the people who liked using the Shogo cheat rez have now stooped to an all-time low. They are now attempting to bring down the servers running the anti-cheating rez. Some of the server ops are switching to NT, but that's not feasible for the average hobbyist. I hope some IP numbers can be snagged so that these jerks can have their Internet service yanked and maybe even be prosecuted.

I'd also like to send out a great big thank-you to Monolith for doing absolutely nothing about this. If this is their level of commitment to every game they put out, I will certainly think twice about ever getting another one of their games. It would be terrible to have the Mac and Amiga ports of Shogo finally done but then have these new users find that there are no servers left to play on. I'm getting mad, so I think I'll stop now.

The Master comments: As long as there are no real serious net weaknesses in the Shogo code (and I doubt that's true) this should be controllable, but to be honest this happened RIGHT after the Quake 2 MP release, and took every server down for about a month-long period before id patched it. Gotta love script kiddies.
