Distributed denial of service attack.  The first ever in the site's history.  At its peak, over 1,000 hosts were flooding the box.

There's a couple of suspects.  The investigation has begun.

look, why don't you all get over this fetish you have about zombie90210? he cannot move on, that is his problem, i credited the rest of you with better.

If you all want to continue this handbaggery with zombie90210, then i suggest strongly that you do it at PlanetHardware and not here.

His real name appears to be 'Walt W.' by the way, not that i give a shit, i don't know why you all waste your energy.

Hmmm, I don't suppose that one of them might be related to the person that flipped the power switch at the old colo would it?  
Someone please remove this account. Thanks...

Yeah, like Zombie was behind the DoS attacks. Don't give this guy more credit than he deserves (if he deserves any at all). Anyway, like voidmain wrote, it could very easily be the same guy who flipped the switch about a month ago or anyone else but what difference does that really make? The forums are back up, we're back so let's do some serious posting shall we?

for a start look at what he replyed to this thread, if he didnt do it he would have said "ErRRRRrRRZerZ U AnTI mZ peopilz Sux()r and kant keep a forUm up." not that angry face.

and why would he come here right after it was back up, he was the 2nd reply/messege.

If you cant see that then your blind.

Also check his posts, after that he posted nothing else, except that other 1 liner.

Also he snorts cocain.

But no worry, i found a post that was not from a proxy and told his ISP about it, gave them details. He is on a Wireless broadmand connection as well for your information.

Well lets, see. It could be related to the guy who switched us off, but I put forward this.

Times are hard in this economic climate. Many companies are realizing that they can make big savings in the IT sector, and to do it they just need a little bit of advise, a small kernel of knowledge that shows them the way out of a percieved dominated field.

They are realizing all their eggs are in one basket, and that company refuses to pay dividends to its share holders, which is often a first sign of trouble in the finances. secondly they realise the owner of that company could walk away tommorrow and close the company down, and they would have no legal protection for getting their systems running, they could not keep their systems running for any extended period of time. And they are getting fed up with the instability of the system.

They have come to realize that there is a site where information can be had for the cost of posting a polite question or two about converting, where the posters are smartish, give you information that is often verifiable, are prepared to argue their corner in a factual way and, will require no financial gain and will back up their claims. And what is more they are prepared to offer altenatives, not just one solution. The name of that site is fuckmicrosoft.com, and it is concievable that a certain company might have a grudge against such a good site as that.

possibly... let's not run off half cocked though, which is what this thread has been about so far.

This is one small part of the reason why i think we will see more FMS downtime in the future.

I should point out as a disclaimer, I accuse no-one. I am merely postulating on ideas of a paranoid nature (I am a PKD reader after all), which are based on no evidence and are therefore not to be accepted as anything claiming to be truth.

I make no accusations and offer no explainations as I DO NO KNOW who was responsable for this apparent attack upon this good forum.
