Sorry for all the downtime. We have seen a DDOS attack from April until now and have blocked over 1,000 ips. We switched over to an 8 core xeon @ The Planet but their DDOS protection couldn't keep the site up long enough to even block IPs. I am back at LiquidWeb and everyone who was blocked by the software firewall should be all set. I told the host to increase the max connections limit up high where a normal user shouldn't be able to get to. We have the hardware firewall stopping over 1,000 ips from reaching the server and then the software one in case some get through.

We hope this will be the last of the downtime from this attack.

Thanks for the update Wes, I really appreciate it.

So we're back to the old servers again? And has this been a single DDOS attack spanning the last few months? Is the only way to keep the site up is waiting out the DDOS attack or is there something that can be done?

I wish these lamers would go else where and leave the forums alone.
