I'm curious what kind of grief a country caused you for a podcast. What were they doing?

Constantly trying to get to the backend of the site and occasional ddos. Once one of them managed to deface the front page I had enough and just banned all of Turkey.

What were they upset about? "Computer graphics" doesn't sound like a controversial topic.

I think they just wanted to deface the site for hacker cred. This was a long time ago.
