    To be honest, I enjoy using this forum and it is better than most out there (plus all the toon 606ers are here.) Some people are just miserable, sad ****ers who think it is funny to take down websites from the comfort of their arm chair.

    Lol 1and1 aren't much better. I remember trying to cancel a hosting package and it took about 3 months for them to finally stop billing me!

    Regardless of what package you are paying for they should have hardware protection to help prevent such attacks. There is also software you can set up on the server to "help";

    http://www.fractalizer.ru/frpost_25...ion-from-dos-and-ddos-attacks-to-your-server/
    http://www.zdziarski.com/blog/?page_id=442 - if you're using apache

    We use the above quite a lot and it seems to work well, generally.

    well, I completely reinstalled the forum, locked down every folder including uploading pictures, upgraded to the latest version of the forum software, disabled all extra functionality, updated to the latest version of Apache and PHP and blocked about 20 IP addresses from eastern Euope which were making about 1,000 connections a minute each.

    Forum still seems a bit groggy though :|

    This is plainly a server issue and not any kind of attack. Are you aware of the difficulty of that kind of attack? So before you go about making accusations or encouraging them then I suggest you make yourself aware of what you're talking about. Get a proper web company to have a look. As if you encourage your members to spout nonsense about other sites then that will only end in further server problems as they could withdraw it.

    I'm not encouraging any of my members to spout nonsense about other sites, I don't believe any of these other sites have done it - they can't even design decent HTML I doubt they have the knowledge to run spiders to keep hitting the most server intensive scripts on this board.

    And I'm almost certain it's a malicious script, the high amount of traffic from certain IP addresses in eastern Europe and the fact the problems were happening at low traffic periods but working quite well when for instance last week we had 4 times as many people online as today.

    Anyway away back to your own site.

    Eh?? Anyone with a bit of knowledge can do it. I can, but won't, because I don't like breaking the law lol. Also it was stated on the webpage, when it was down, that it was under DoS attack.

    Mick, having a pop at others html coding is a bit daft. Some of the other sites are better designed and you'd look more genuine if you accepted that. I'm joining all the sites to see which is best and commenting on issues I feel may make that site better. The attitude here is one of those things. If you were a web whizz the site would be better. Nobody is having a go at you for not being so, not me anyway. However don't try and kid your way through it, get proper support <ok>
