Forums Attacked today...

Ha ha I read that as Dildos Attack

 

Thanks for keeping us in the picture. I was going to let you know, thinking that the problem may have been confined to the UK.
Have a good time playing with your DOS, while at least one other member will be able to put his DILDOS away now.

 

I had to google what that was and I still don't get it. I appreciate the honesty though, Skip. You could have spun us a line of bullshit.

I wouldn't know any better

 

Thanks for letting us know, skip. I wondered if it was the WiFi connection on my end lol

 

Oh crap, the NRA and Russia?

 

DDos-Distributed Denial of Service.

WOW, that's crazy! Hope you can keep it from reoccurring.

 

Put simply the DOS is the "Direct Operating System" Since it supports the operating system of the server, an attack there causes major havoc.

 

A ddos attack basically floods the server with so many requests it can't handle any of them. Its like trying to get a drink from a firehose.

 

And what is the goal of this? Just to crash someone's site for a laugh?

 

Was wondering why the site wasn't coming up. Figured the library connection may have been on the fritz. Glad to hear it got sorted out

 

As you have seen it can crash the site. Whether it does or not depends on the preventative measures in place before the attack is mounted. Motivation is anyone's guess.

 

Site members refreshing..

 

actually..... I do feel quite refreshed

 

and trump

cant forget to blame him too

 

We have enemies?
