As you know the forums have been slow for a few days and were actually down for a few hours today. Sorry for this. The cause of the slowness is a DDOS. An explanation of how this kind of attack works is here: Denial-of-service attack - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The cause of the outage was a technical mistake setting up some software which we had to wait for Raphus and Apoc to fix. As luck would have it, both were unavailable for hours today. The DDOS is ongoing and could last months. Right now, we think 99% of the current attack is being mitigated. But we expect the attacker will adapt, he will use different methods to hit the site so the forums will be slow from time to time but they should remain usable. The most common question we get asked about DDOS is "Who is attacking you?" We don't know who it is and we don't really care. DDOS attacks are a normal part of being on the web and our site is always under some kind of attack. This one is just a bit bigger than usual. Please bear with us over the coming months as we deal with this. We do hope it doesn't interfere with your botting.
