Murder In China · Dec 29, 2005, 07:36 AM // 07:36

^ Same here, I haven't notice any slowdowns on the site as of yet, only the auction section.

Old Dood · Dec 29, 2005, 09:19 PM // 21:19

Ohhh...Inde...
I am noticing some real slow down again. 4:15 EST on 12-29-05. I have no idea if it is an attack or if it is simple maintenence on the server.

Apple · Dec 29, 2005, 09:22 PM // 21:22

Yeah I'm getting this too.

Eldin · Dec 29, 2005, 09:27 PM // 21:27

Comes in phases. Sometimes it's slow forum of doom, sometimes it's mass 404s, sometimes nothing's wrong.

Qual · Dec 29, 2005, 09:37 PM // 21:37

Nice to hear that it was L2guru there was the target. I used to play L2, and for some of those players adena(name of money in Lineag 2) is more importent than life itself. Proberly some poor guy who lost one of his things(you can drop your armor when you die in L2)

Lord Iowerth · Dec 29, 2005, 11:31 PM // 23:31

*watches as Inde swoops down like a superhero to thwart the evil DDOS'ers*

You pay all this money for cable modem speed and then it gets all bogged down because of some Twerp....(Now there is an old term....Twerp...hehe...it is not a cuss word...yet has the same effect...)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGG YOU RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOING HACKERS RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO YOU!!!!!!!!!!1111

(calms down) woo that felt good

Old Dood · Dec 30, 2005, 01:42 PM // 13:42

Seems I am having difficulty posting again. Major lag and then the dreaded Error Page...

Or is the site under maintenence? This is why I asked for a schedule of the maintenence so we as posters can realize what is going on.

Really annoying to see once again a long a well thought out post or PM go up in digital smoke...

EDIT: I should add that it is happening On & Off like...This is why I thought it might be another DDOS Attack...

Rehevkor · Dec 31, 2005, 04:33 AM // 04:33

I can't use the auction page at all right now. It loads as far down as the banner ad, but that's it. These forums are crawling too. Between this mess and GuildWiki being down for a while, it's hard to find a decent GW website that works :/

jimmy_logic · Dec 31, 2005, 04:39 AM // 04:39

DIE YOU HACKERS... Why are you ruining this site with this crap. I bet when you read this thread you are getting your kicks from it and when you do remember this, next time in life you are in a position where its you or someone else, I hope that person chooses that someone else over you and then you feel the pain of that over and over.

Inde · Dec 31, 2005, 04:45 AM // 04:45

Hey that's the price you pay with a popular site. We have had 3 DDOS attacks today. This isn't fun for us either. We are having problems and are on top of this every single day, for hours a day. We share more frustration than you can possibly imagine trying to keep this free site running for a community. For anyone who has actually managed and run a large site, they will know the frustration. For those who have no clue, who take for granted all the work that we do behind the scenes and then lay down insults and complaints... I don't see those complaining sending me content, offering to help, or contributing to this site. So am I a little pissed off right now that our server is being attacked and people can only complain that the site is slow? Yes.

Two April Mornings · Dec 31, 2005, 05:59 AM // 05:59

I am not complaining but i can't help either.
F the hackers too scared to hack something worth hacking-gov't or something.
Guess baby hackers start off with game boards.
Lame imo.

Hodor · Dec 31, 2005, 08:32 AM // 08:32

DDOS attacks such as this are always the work of children. It's trivial to set up and execute with basic knowledge, and only kids thinks it's cool.

I appreciate all the effort that goes into guru, thanks

Mo/R9 · Dec 31, 2005, 08:42 AM // 08:42

*prods probably thousands of scripts for DOS attacks sitting in newsgroups such as alt.hack*

I reckon some little script kiddie somewhere has found himself one and wanted to test it out on a site that probably wouldn't retaliate.

IMehler · Dec 31, 2005, 09:12 AM // 09:12

Damn script kiddies. I hope you talked to the police.

Inde...I hope you know that there is allot of us here that do appreciate your hard work (And of course your staff's hard work). You yourself have been on allot and that tells me that you are workin' your buttock's off chasing this stuff down.

Anytime you need this Middle-Age-Man to help you just ask...I do not know what help I could be but, I will do whatever you need. Hang in there and have some food & beverages this weekend...you have earned it.
