What's happening to DigitalPoint?!! It hardly loads!!

All of today and sometime earlier this week, DP has been VERY slow and sometimes even unavailable. What's up with this?

 

DP is under DDoS attack.

There has been a polemical thread about Kurdistan (and the Armenian Genocide) posted by me, and tens of Turks invaded the forum to request its removal, with insults, threats...etc.

I hope some action will be taken against DP members who took part in the attack. it's unacceptable to have such people in our community.

 

I saved four pages of the polemical thread, so it's possible to identify attackers. I also received a fake itrader from one of them, insults, death threats by PM.

I sincerely apologize to my fellow DP members and to the administrator of the forum.

Good evening.

 

thanks for the heads up

 

Gee, that ban was a surprise..

 

I know the feeling.. DoS's suck, especially when it has absolutely nothing to do with the owner of a site.. At this point, I don't know what is worse... Being the victim of the attack, or having a customers server hacked to the point where it is used as part of a collective attack. It's enough of a headache dealing with being attacked.. Having to deal with an attack and people screaming at you... that's even worse..

At least when a customer causes something like this either through their own ineptness or that of their customer's stupidity, we charge them for our time.

 

0_o do i believe my eyes.. Shawn is online!

I hope you can get this sorted. I think a good beat down with the digitalpoint fist would work well

Sucks to have this happen.. i know its happened to me..

Best of luck,

idiots messing with one of my most visited forums

 

That's a shame. I hope things get back to normal and all these idiots get banned

Thanks for the forum Shawn

 

Can't you sue them? Thanks for your time Shawn!

 

2 minutes of spare time and boredome = owned images.

 

Free bans = Ownage on any board

 

Often times the only way to stop a DoS is to wait it out. The only other options are to have your upscale setup a blackhole filter... Other than that, there is not much a site owner can do...

As to finding the source, well that is near impossible. People that DoS hyjack several computers all over the internet and use them to collectively attack on source all at once. The origin of the attack is never the person or persons responsible, but rather several networks and or computers all over the internet.

 

Whoa, well, hope all is good.

 

Do you really not know the reason? Did you not see the image, that posted by that invasive guy, named PalmIslands? Can you accept it if your country would be overrunned? Did you ever think about it? If you do nothing about it, we do something and we did.

Our country will never be overrunned. Nowhere they can speak such things.

Do you know what it is? I should say it. This is a country love. They want our lovely east Anatolian. Can you accept that your country would be divided? Is it acceptable on wherever? They say; "Diyarbakir is the capital of Kurdistan" did you ever look at a map? Did you see where Diyarbakir is?

I don`t know where you are and what you are thinking, but it will ne never accepted by us.

As i said.. If you do nothing as owner of this site, we do something. All of you must be sensitive about it. You can live like these things, too. Learn everything and then speak.

This country is our life, our love. I`m sure that you love your country, too.

Please be more sensitive. We will not allow them to occupy our lovely east Anatolian. It may never be spoken, on internet, too.

They lived in our country for over 500 years in peace, they ate our foods, they drinked our waters. We always know them as one of us, now it`s so, too. We just have some problems with these terrorists, who assists PKK.

They can speak in our parliamentary, too. As i said, we always know them as one of us, like the others. We are not factious.

At last, there was no genocide. That was a banishment and bound. That invasive guy speaks about 1923. I advise you to learn something about that year on our country.

We will give them food and water, again. They will live in peace and restful.

Nobody can divide our country.
