Re: Site Slow? We're being DDOS'd
Why is this website targeted specifically, if it is open to the attack is there no way to stop it or will this "unbelievably amazing" website get attacked indefinitely, I understand your doing you best admin and staff, thanks and keep it up you guys own.

Re: Site Slow? We're being DDOS'd
At least with DDoS attacks they have pretty much reached the end of the line of what they can do to stop us from keeping the site running.
And just so all you none computer-nerds or less knowledgeable computer users knows what we're talking about here: DDoS attacks (distributed denial-of-service attacks) is a form of computer attack where the "hacker" keeps sending data requests or sending alot of useless data to the targeted server, making the server run very slow or completely shutdown because the servers resources are strained to the max with translating alot of useless information or sending data to the hackers computer. Sadly very little resources are needed for this kind of attack and it can not only destroy the targeted server or computer, but in some cases it can destroy whole regions of the internet by overloading every single router on the way to the targeted server. Of course these kind of attacks are very illegal and breaks several internet laws.

1st: We don't know who it is that's attacking us. 2nd: We don't care, with Psp's changes it shouldn't really effect us anymore. 3rd: In some parts this site is illegal. (Even though i wouldn't call breaking the copy-right law a crime, but that's just me...) I could easily find more reasons for you if you want.

That would be a sad sight... Think i'll stop talking about laws and so, don't want people to feel uneasy with using the site. And damn it Dark, where are you when your subordinate needs you?!
