''Anonymity on the web can be a really good thing in some ways but, by and large, I think it creates an atmosphere where those people who feel like than can be really, really hateful -- they have the veil of the internet to protect them.... Part of me wanted to create a safe space for gay gamers and non-gay gamers to come and feel comfortable, and not have to feel like they're going to say something that's gonna result in being called a faggot. [Two guys] were flooding our chat with hate speech, and then they flooded our forums with hate speech and large files trying to shut it down.... Eventually, we got them blocked. Almost immediately, we received a Denial of Service [attack, and because of that,] our ISP shut the site down.''
