    might be that weasyl isnt as big as FA, ie less to recover

      Actually, they got hit bad back in the holidays around the same time FA was dealing with a migration that kept failling for a while.

      Weasyl thus upgraded it's architecture accordingly. It being back up this quickly is actually the results of that past upgrade. The like of which FA is now only -finally- trying to get with their (newest, considering how many others there were in the past) fundraiser.

      So it's really a case of superior architecture. Weasyl's teams seems -much- more on point for deciding to and implementing upgrades to make their site work.

      They didn't have to recover anything, though. The have to decongest the onslaught of traffic, no?

    Weasyl's been dealing with this DDoS just as long as FA has. It just hasn't caused them to go down until recently, and of course cloudflare helps; for whatever reason FA doesn't use cloudflare.

      They're implementing it now, though, right? That's what their fundraiser is for?

        Cloudflare's free, unless you're some kind of enormous corporation. I dunno what the fundraiser's for.
