Why does everyone seem to think Pottus is attacking the "staff" member, he was simply explaining why they were bots, and why they were hosted locally where the server is.
Also, why does said "staff" member deny this or denies it but denies denying it so much? If it was me I would as a staff member simply say my piece and leave it there, it's not my server not my reputation it's going to destroy. Also how he makes very post so it's worded as if Pottus was attacking him is just despicable.
As for what Khanz said "living near the server", you will still find that the Ping is higher than 15, this is because it first has to goto the ISPs or a shared server which knows where the desired IP Packet has to go. It's like on your own network, just a lot more complex. You can't just send a message to 192.168.0.4, it has to go through the router first. This will redirect the packet to where it needs to go, unless your connect directly through a cable with no DNS server, and therefore can choose your IP ?(impossivle on an ISP) you cannot route a packet to go direct to its destination.
There used to be a VPS host in the centre of Bristol, England where I live. My ping to that about 4 miles away direct was 25ms as it had to goto the DNS servwe/router thing to be routed to its destination first making it travel 15 instead of 4 miles.
Obviously in order to leave my house it had to go through my network aswell, then when it arrived in their networked it had to be routed through their network. This makes 1 hop essentially more like 5 or 6 hops minimum making 15 impossible even if we cut out the middle Man (the ISP).
