Site Instability

Postby Derian » Fri Jan 14, 2011 8:54 pm

You all may have noticed the boards/wiki/whatever has been down intermittently for the past 2 hours or so. The boards were getting hammered by a single IP address and brought down.

All traffic from the IP in question is being dropped, so everything should be good now.

On a ... totally unrelated note, if anyone knows how to get in contact with Bear, tell him the machine he posted from today at 1:53 PM CST probably has a whole host of viruses.

It's very likely it wasn't intentional, but rather that the computer he was connected from had some kind of virus or malware.
