Our host was DDoSed

[ferghus]

Hi all,

Our web hosting company got hit by a heavy DDoS attack earlier today (technically yesterday, July 15). A DDoS attack is basically a spam attack, aimed at making the victim servers so busy, that they appear to be offline and cannot make the sites they host available as a result. To deal with this problem, they moved their clients (ie. us) to another datacenter.

Because they migrated our forum to a new server, things may have been broken. It seems we lost about 1 day's (Jul 15th) worth of posts. If you spot anything odd, do report it!

I wonder what site they were after?

Boo, will have to remake posts.

Ah well, at least it's on a new server. O uO
