I didnt see this thread until now.
I am the owner of the server Italian American Mafia RP, this happend in the early days of the server, this guy came in, offered free hosting 150 slot server + ventrilo hosting. I was naive and thinked this will be good for the server. We made deal, since i didnt know this guy very well, i offered him level 2 admin status in the begining, he accepted. But after some days, he found out that it wasnt good enough, he demanded higher admin level. I didnt accept that, so what happend is that he banned me and my admins from server, took it like it was his own server - created account and pretended to be me on the server he hosted.
I dont give into blackmail so i left this and continue my work on old serverffs host.
Good thing is that i didnt give away sourcecode, but i was aware about deAMX.
It left him with an old bugged version of my gamemode and i continue developing on my own.
After sometime i found a vulenrable part of my script which made me able to lock the server, after i that i havent seen my gamemode running anywhere else..
Me and the guy who did this has talked this over now, put it in the past and moved on.
What i had to learn the hard way is; with free hosts, there's allways a catch. If you dont give into the demands given, the mice leaves and takes the cheese for itself.
