FYI - Host upgrades

namix · 01-17-2014, 06:41 AM

FYI - the host is making some upgrades so has had to drop some of their servers to do so (which is why the site was down for a hot min last night).

that is in response to an attack they had the previous night, which made us lag and time out. they enhanced their firewall rules and are doing some other shit few on here would care to know --- but i dont think they have much more, if anything, left to do - so should be in pretty good shape now.

Did they not think to inform you dudes beforehand? That's pretty shitty of the hosts, tbh.

A heads up would have cost them nothing. The Winter Topical tourney is srs business around these parts, whoadie.

^^ Lmao make me laugh sometimes lars, nah they would of done a update as soon as the ddosing started, it seems as though another website running on the same server as us was under attack not us directly but with their firewall not being set to handle that amount they was forced to downtime to update their servers

was that just happening last night/night before? if so (and you don't do 'remember your password?), yea that was it lol

and word lars - it was cuz they were being attacked, so they updated their firewall and did a bunch of file scan check type shit that required taking it offline for a few...
