DDoS'rs are back..
 
It seem these ddos'rs are back at it again.. We're working, yet again, with our network techs to limit the attack but until its mitigated, PC will be slow and/or time out from time to time.

Stay tuned for more updates (if I can even post them)

:(. Really ticks me off, well try your best to reduce the attack(s).

Ozzy May 27th, 2009 5:51 PM

Yeah rukario
 
It's alright we can't stop DDOS'ers unless we change lots of our info such as IP.

But if you can't do anything about it, we will understand and will continue to use these forums when this problem is fixed.
Goodluck

Regards,
Ozzy

Changing the IP address won't do any good

Gerri Shin May 27th, 2009 5:55 PM

well let's hope this is a short burst and that it's the last for eat least a long while. Good luck Steve.

Feign May 27th, 2009 6:03 PM

Ah well t'is unfortunate.

*rubs off some luck*

Hope it is up and properly running again :)

Gooooo Karma!

Artemis May 27th, 2009 6:14 PM

Sad to hear, but hopefully the community will be back and running better than ever soon enough.

Good Luck on it though...

Rukario May 30th, 2009 9:54 AM

Well it looks like these lame attackers are back, hitting us on and off again..

We've taken steps, yet again, to slow down the attack, but as per usual, you may experience slow page loads and various time outs during this.

Thanks for your understanding and support of the community.

Well pokecommunity is running fast today and yesterday and a few days ago.. So i guess it's gone now? By the way What DDoS'rs? XD Just Curious to know :3

pokerus34 May 31st, 2009 1:05 AM

Ddos? You mean Distributed Denial-Of-Service? How did that happen?

Still, go for it.

people or groups of people like to think they're tough stuff on the internet so they will attempt to take websites offline or deface them leaving their information behind.

They should get jailed for what they are doing for the PokeCommunity Forums.

You'd need to find the exact location of the attackers where-abouts

Rukario May 31st, 2009 1:35 AM

its not just PC they attack.. its all the IPs on the server.. it really hammers Apache (the web page server) and slows down or crashes it..
We do try to stay on top of it, but there is only so much you can do.

That's why last-time my dad wont let me use computer because of PokeCommunity :3.. And also thats the reason why he wont let me donate even 5 dollars :3... I get it!.. Well we have a Cafe.. So my dad does not want to affect our business... I Hope they will be jailed soon... Hate them very much.. I wanna throw my Fashion Stuffs to them LOL.

Zet May 31st, 2009 1:42 AM

Visiting PC while attacks are happening won't cause any harm to your computer. Not unless PC is hacked and the hacker(s) add some cookie stealing scripts etc

Sweet Jasmine May 31st, 2009 1:44 AM

Well my dad say it cause Harm :3... Im confused.. Who is correct?

pokerus34 May 31st, 2009 1:44 AM

Well, better be careful...

But is there something to be scared about this... D-DOS?

Because if there is, better prepare... XD

The only harm that can be done is if PC is affected with a virus, but it would need to be hacked first so there really is no harm at all

There is nothing to be scared of, the attackers will give up eventually with whatever they're trying to do

Sweet Jasmine May 31st, 2009 1:55 AM

I Hope they will give up and i will award them as the Most Honest Person..

Isn't that a little bit too extreme? XD

There is no such thing as eCops, ya know?

Sajuuk May 31st, 2009 8:13 AM

Why is "The PokéCommunity" getting constantly targeted by Distributed Denial of Service Attacks for? Someone must really hate Rukario and the server hosters.

Dan LegitTrading May 31st, 2009 8:30 AM

I guess they are the one who are trying to destroy the Community. Um. I think they are using some tools or codes or some programs. Hope i helped.

processr May 31st, 2009 8:57 AM

If I remember correctly, it's been stated multiple times that it is not PC specifically that is under attack. Rather, it is the server PC is hosted on, along with hundreds of other sites, no doubt. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, any passing members who know for sure.
