Seems we were being DDoS'ed. Don't know if SW was the target, it could also have been one of the other sites running on my server. (Maybe the ToG site for example.) So I didn't have much recourse except for to turn off the webserver process for a short time. Now I've just turned it back on and it seems that the attack has subsided for now.
 
If necessary I might need to turn it off a bit more while we investigate what the deal is but I'm hoping that whatever this was has GONE AWAY now :(

hi all!!!!!!!
 
so yeah the site was taken down again because the DDoS resumed a short time afterwards. thanks to Saltster Offal we managed to get the help of a PRO™ who's keeping an eye on things now. if the attack resumes we'll be able to get the information needed to block whatever the source is.

how could someone be so cruel to our meager forum? we're barely scraping by as it is. I earnestly vow never to take my time here with you all granted again. I don't want that to sound insincere tho

Oh good, I'm not the only person who she tried to "take down" then. When I was like 13 running RPGi she called my house and threatened my parents with a lawsuit because I slandered her on some obscure internet forum. Was the first time I cussed in front of my parents.
