Oh, fun time. DDOS by LudoCrow

So. Fun times.

Apparently someone thought it would be fun or worthy to DDOS this website.

Well, in that a good thing it was back up so quickly, no?
I won't make any accusations as there's no proofs regarding anyone, but I can't help but find this.... oddly "well timed".

    It caused a double post for me on a comment, its a little annoying, and I agree, does seem well timed

    • Link

      Coincidence perhaps, but an oddly very well timed one. :/
      Which's kind of funny considering the efforts of Weasyl staff themselves to try to stay away from FA'sdrama and shutting down threads mentionning said drama here as well(though their reasoning can be basically justified that it isn't -their- business and the fact they try hard not to encourage a "competitors mentality" in users)

        Makes sense it would be a DDOS attack, could be someone who decided to troll everyone who is leaving by making it harder to do anything

        • Link

          Can't say we have proof of who did this or their reasons, but I wouldn't be surprised.
          Though I know nothing on a technical level, it could be funny if they -could- track down the guy behind the attack, however.

    I suspect the new drama at FA caused a massive increase of visitor and the server is having issues coping with it.

      That's what people think, but it was basically confirmed at http://status.weasyl.com/ that it was a DDOS attack.

      gah, "what people -thought". That's what I get for typing at 12am <.<;

    Somepony DDoSed this site... I wonder what the drek their motives were. I won't jump to any conclusions, but all I can say is that there is nothing "wrong" about this site and any other art community in the Wide Web. If you want to DDoS any furry community, you should hit SoFurry, since the Beta layout is STILL extremely buggy, despite being in the 4th update, lol.

      No sites really deserve a DDOS in my opinion.
      And I'm not leving the possibility out of it just being a case of "Trolls will be trolls" completely unrelated to "other things".

      As someone else said in the forums, DDOS nowdays are kind of a big internet welcome celebration for new websites anyway.

        That is true, and when somepony gets DDoSed, there really is not that much you can do.

          Unless you're a rich person then you can track em down and have them put to shame, as its it is still sort of an attack.

          • Link

            Yeah, true, XD. Most people are not rich, though, lol.
