Site Downtime UPDATED

[007]

I wanted to take a moment to explain the site downtime and the continual issues this site has had over the past 24 hours.

The site has been a victim of a Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attack. Together with the web host we have narrowed down the attack. I have traced it to the member responsible and we have placed a block on this members IP address. I am not going to call the user out just yet, but hopefully with the block on this IP, the site will return to normal, unless of course said member begins attacking from another IP.

The site is currently running at a minimal state. Shoutbox and other mods will be enabled shortly.

I wanted to apologize for the downtime. Thank you for your patience and support.

UPDATE - The offending members IP has been blocked at the firewall level at the web host. The IP can no longer get through. We are still having a minor issue with google spider bots over crawling the site to update google's index from our url change, but the site should be returning to normal soon.
