Would anyone like to shed some light on what a "denial of service" attack is?
"
A denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) or distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS attack) is an attempt to make a computer resource unavailable to its intended users. Although the means to carry out, motives for, and targets of a DoS attack may vary, it generally consists of the concerted efforts of a person or persons to prevent an Internet site or service from functioning efficiently or at all, temporarily or indefinitely. Perpetrators of DoS attacks typically target sites or services hosted on high-profile web servers such as banks, credit card payment gateways, and even root nameservers."

I guess they get a feel of power. For example when people create Habbo Retro Servers, they probably feel powerful because they can do what they want. Obviously, different circumstances to a retro, but they probably feel good knowing they have disrupted peoples days somehow.
