Recent Downtime

[kinkarso]

Just wanted to update everyone concerning the recent downtime we had. Apparently, someone DDOS attacked us (or something) and shut BattleForums.com down for some time. The server is now up and running, and extra steps has already been taken to make sure something like this will not happen again.

Nonetheless, there will probably be a server-move coming up soon anyways, that will get us on a MUCH faster and more reliable server.

I'll keep you updated.

[Sogeking]

denial of service attack?

and hasn't someone been saying this whole time that BF was vulnerable?

and as for who could have done it? I'd say eric but i dont think he cares enough. Lord Nevar maybe?

TheSummit or AvalonX

I am pretty sure this downtime was caused by another site of mine on the same server. Not 100% sure though.

OH MY GOD WHO WOULD DO SUCH A THING?!?

 

[CelestialBadger]

it could have been one of our competitors attempting to lessen our stranglehold on the online forum market

 

[Sogeking]

blizzforums?

 

[Gimmi]

not a whole lot you can do to stop a dos attack

 

[Lizardbreath]

I was nothing without bf

 

[Theroy]

It couldn't have been one person.. So don't name tick off names and avalon X doesn't have any programing skills. Summit on the other hand is quite skilled.

IIRC AvalonX knew some exploit. but im sure its been fixed a whille back
