Server Downtime

Post by ko2fan »

Apologies for the recent server downtime, this was due to a massive DoS attack on the irc network I run. It effected all my UK servers, including the one this site is hosted on.

Site should be back up and running as normal now.

DoS attack was restarted, ICMP traffic is now being blocked at the core router which should settle things down for now.

Yeah, makes things a bit more interesting, you know? Instead of just the same old blank page, you get broken code!

My bad, that last time was me updating apache, php, mysql and all the php extensions. It took a little longer than I expected. Sorry about that.
