Second thought on your private server hackings
Alright, time for some updates. You probably know that in the last weekend, me and some other fellows have hacked all big Holo-powered private servers to generally mess everything up and redirect it to yesterdays blog post here at nillus.net.
In one day, my blog generated 3400 visits, with roughly 9000 pageviews by 2500 unique visitors. I decided to do some updates now. 
Why did we attack those private servers? Well, in the last 2 years, loads of people have been using my free software to make so called ‘Habbo retros’ – private servers for Habbo Hotel. We have seen that alot of people have been removing my name, or other developer names, from the footer (‘powered by’-line) etc and often claiming that they wrote the software themselves.
Next to that, rumor had it that some of these private servers were making excessive amounts of money. This money was generated by AdSense, selling credits (for purchasing virtual furniture etc) and other content. I have heard from trusted sources that these people were making hundreds of euros/dollars per month, and after deducting the server bills etc, most of it went into their pockets.
So, it all comes down to this:
- People were using my free software. Basically every Habbo private server runs at my server (hotel server) or a baseoff of it, in combination with Meth0d’s HoloCMS or YifanLu’s PHPretro for the site
- A minority of these private servers was rumored to make excessive amounts of money, we are talking about hundreds/thousands of euros here
- Alot of these ‘highroller private servers’ have removed/modified the powered by line, so just ripping & stealing our work
This sucks ass, imagine that you wrote free software, dedicated countless of sparetime hours to it for people to enjoy, and some of them remove your name and start making sick ass money off it. And for the developers who made it all possible: no appreciation, no small donations, nothing. Do you really think that this is what keeps them going? No. Lack of motivation and appreciation was one of the main reasons that stopped me developing private server software. Thank you. 
This is why we decided to fuck those servers up. I didn’t select them myself, someone else was doing this. I just received names of the private servers to fuckup, saw that my name was gone, they were having AdSense, large user base and often premium services -> fuck them up. I think an apology fits here. I regret messing up OpenHotel.co.uk for example, it would have been better if I had mailed them with my frustration first, rather than just going all out without warning.
Nevertheless, I hope you guys all understand why this was happening. Please:
- restore the original powered by line. If you are using HoloCMS: ‘Powered by Holograph Emulator + HoloCMS. Written by Nillus, Meth0d, YifanLu and others’. Replace ’HoloCMS’ with PHPRetro if you are using PHPRetro instead. Feel free to add (your own) names to the line, but ensure that it atleast contains the above
- put yourself in the position of developers. Wouldn’t you love getting a small donation from the people that make so much money with your work? I’m not saying you have to donate and I never will, but if you are feeling generous and want to do something in return, any amount is welcome! Just … something that makes you feel like ‘I think they know that we love their work now’. Thank you.
If everyone is cool now, then the hackings will stop here and no more databases will be leaked. Again, I apologize for being too quick with my decisions and stuff but hey – I was just really pissed off.
