He can do it maybe, but as soon as he tries it or even manages to do that he is guilty of breaking the law. He's doing damage to property then, he should be aware of that and count his money, because there'd be a damn lot to pay.

PS.: One more time: Kick his ass and search for another one.
Not only he is stupid, but also he seems to be a criminal now.
Honestly, it isn't easy to crash a server these days. Having an IP address means absolutely nothing unless you have some bad-ass skill to get past all the limited user access, firewalled, and encrypted security. Hacking a forum account is simple with a password cracker. But server security is a whole new ballgame. Lets just hope he forgets to reroute the signal and bounce it through a few other networks first.....or that the illarion server has a hell of a tracing program. Then he will be a problem for all of about thirty seconds. Hee hee hee.

Hold off your donations for the Illarion Society, boys and girls! It looks like we've got a volunteer to pay for it this time.
Tsk. How childish.
Just make sure he cannot try that from your hardware or your ISP user ID(s), else it may happen that your server access will be denied completely ( Resulting in you being totally unable to play too).
No, more sounds like a wannabe (Ex: Friends from schools talk about this kid and that kid hacking... yeah right)... He probably can't find the start button.
