Post Network Status
9/29/2007 --> At 3:07 PM (EST), we were hit with an IP blast. Web site was recovered at 3:20 PM (EST)


FYI, I am notified instantly if the web site is inaccessible via e-mail. I had over 400 e-mails sent to me at 3:08 PM. It seems that 1 given IP was blasting the web site, causing the database to crash. I banned that particular IP on the server, and that seemed to have fixed the problem.

Luckily, I was in front of my PC when this happened!

This thread will be used only to discuss any network issues...

That is truly disappointing, that there are so many who would choose to come on a forum to spew hatred. And that in the most childish manner.

Is it real people even doing it or is it a kind of virus?

Thanks for taking care of this.

I just enabled e-mail confirmation for user registration. It looks like someone signed up multiple accounts under different e-mails, and they had the nerve to use bogus @defendingthetruth.com e-mails.

So now, when someone signs up, they must click on a link (in e-mail) to confirm their account.

Nice, well worth the $10 I donated. That's what I call service.
