Downtime and Issues

Hello guys. Unfortunately we have been getting DDoSed lately. Our host informed me that the reason the board was acting odd yesterday was because of several Layer 7 attacks. We will be waiting it out. Rest assured, the theme will look the way it did before (although I did add new userbars) and there are no security issues. I estimate that things will be back to normal this afternoon, so no worries.

Sorry for the delay on an announcement.

Do you know who has been DOSing us. It would make sense if it has LH since we defaced them.

Did your host comment on which layer 7 it was? If it was slowloris, ask them to increase (or increase it yourself if you have that access) the amount of threads the httpd is allowed.

Not really, the site's back up for now though. I will do my best to prevent this from happening again.

Thanks for letting us know, The Anarchist. Glad to see the forums running smoothly again!

Will we be getting premium cloudflare to hold back some of the attacks?

We already have Cloudflare set up.
