Hosting games is "relatively" safe. Here's why.

I've been hearing of a lot of people getting their IP addresses leaked which to most is such a big deal but really it isn't.

Games on Brick Hill are hosted by the user and not Brick Hill themselves, so users will need to expose their public IP address to Brick Hill's games page that way players can connect to servers. This is no different from Minecraft servers where users will need to enter a IP address to connect to one's server.

You might already know about the whole scary thing with IP addresses. However, IP addresses can only give out basic information such as rough location but not exact location. DDOSing/Booting their router is possible but that really isn't worth doing to someone hosting a Brick Hill game, even if you did get attacked, you might have a chance of rebooting your router and get a new IP, this isn't always the case for some routers like mine, so just wait it out and don't bring attention to said attacks.

If you see your IP address and or basic information such as your city or internet provider then do not bring any attention to the post! Just report the post and notify staff ASAP! Do not challenge anyone threatening to DDOS/Boot you, it might be a terrible idea.
