"Alas" has pissed someone off

There was a distributed denial of service (DDOS) attack on “Alas” this morning, which put “Alas” offline for a little while. Some folks are just jerks, I guess.

Server owner Eric, who generously donates “Alas” space to live on, repelled the attack, and has posted some technical details on Wampum.

(Update: Changed “dedicated” to “distributed.” Thanks Eric!)

    distributed (100+ attack nodes), not dedicated, though it was persistent.

    its a conundrum.

    still interested in alternatives to mt?

    Eric –

    Would changing from MT to Word Press solve this problem?

    I don’t feel like it’s right to say “my condolences” because that makes it sound like your dad just died or something, rather than your server being down for a while, but I can’t think of how to say anything better so… uh… my condolences.

    Wow, Barry. I’m glad you’re back up. Some people really are jerks.

    If you’re pissing off someone that much, you know you’re doing something right.

    I’m glad you’re back up, and I hope the spineless poopyheads find loads of nasty viruses in their computers. Assmonkeys.

    yeah, I’m with Sheelzebub.
    keep up the good work!

  8. Glad you’re back! Was confused too… :-)
