Zeo (DayZ) 0 Posted June 26, 2013 Sorry if this has been posted before but I haven't been on for a while, What exactly happened to the laughing man servers?

TheDesigner 1197 Posted June 26, 2013 (edited) Because he was;A ) Supporting and embracing hacker attacks on other servers that were above him on GameTracker.B ) Refusing to admit that some of his admins were abusive with their powers and immature.The evidence was pretty stacked against him, although some were TS chats which can be manipulated, I, myself, even heard of him embracing hackers for his cause and I didn't even know who he was or play on his servers.

Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted June 26, 2013 (edited) As far as I understand it, several of his ex-admins posted up videos of his other admins abusing their admin tools. They made a thread about it on our forums somewhere.Laughingman responded to the claims but basically brushed them off. People called him out on it repeatedly and cited other examples of abuse too. After that someone else posted a Skype call he had with a hacker in which he was discussing attacking a rivals server. There were also many other claims made saying he attacked his rivals servers to try and keep the top spot.He did try and defend himself from all of the accusations for a while but there were many and his servers started slipping down the rankings. Some time passed and it seems he shut them all down and disappeared.It's only a name though, he probably adopted another name and carried on with something similar, who knows? When lot's of money is involved (he ran pay-to-win servers) it must be hard to give up. Edited June 26, 2013 by Fraggle 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatalwaffles 20 Posted June 26, 2013 (edited) I hate to wrongly accuse someone of something, but could this be the same "TheLaughingMan"? I have no clue when he vanished from the DayZ Community but I was there when Industrial Rage (a popular modded minecraft server) feel victim to a person named "TheLaughingMan". I know that both the IR user and the DayZ user had the same avatars and some of the same profile informationhttp://www.killerbee...-this-month.52/I apologize if I am wrong.
