If we were to prune the spam accounts from before we wouldn't be as close.

Speaking of pruning spam accounts, how about that's something that could get done as well, mostly remove all of the dead and spam accounts to make the member list cleaner and more presentable.

I understand removing spam accounts, but why the dead ones? Regardless if they're dead or not, it's still a real person that rgistered.

If they're legitimate users that's not really a good idea in my opinion.

So, someone decided to DDoS us.

Looks like the attack subsided, though. Sorry for the inconveniece. There wasn't much I could do while it was down except wait for the attack to stop.

Oh lord, who would do that ?

So that's what happened? Good thing it's over, but... who would attack us?

why is the site still down?

Which site? Because this site definitely isn't down.

Edit: Of course, it went down about an hour after I posted this.

This is a site discussion thread, not a "who did it"" thread. The person who DDoSed us is unknown, and we're not going to try and guess who did it.

For some reason, the forums are working on my phone, but not the computer. Any help?

Yeah, the same thing has happened to me a few times over the last day or so.

What's happening is that some peoples' ISPs still have cached versions of my domain data (where smbxgame.com points to, for example). I don't know why this cached data is being used sporadically, but I believe it expires at max within 48 hours. It's supposed to be a matter of minutes, but that obviously isn't happening.

So, if users are still having trouble ~25 hours from now (I set up the new domain data around 23 hours ago), we'll know something is seriously wrong. But for now, all we can do is wait.

Yeah, I was one of the targeted Members that from my Home it simply won't connect to SMBX.org and the Chatroom what so ever from the same time where the first Issue went on this Board so I pretty much have to wait like 2 Days where it last happened (unknown which hour though) and then it works again. It was weird that this happens but right now if it works like that it doesn't matter anymore. Let's just hope that the site won't gain any issues again.

Hot dayum we hit 2000 members.

This calls for another cake!

Cake is out sry dude.

What's a party without cake?

EDIT: Well, apologies for ruining this small party but...

We gots spam bots.

Ahh, fuack. Anyways, my IP was temp-banned the other day for no reason. I guess that has to do with the spam bots that are joining the chat-room. Damn it, Valtteri! Why did you have to be forced into boot camp...? Maybe masterbros could mod if GhostHawk isn't there, IDK. You're the admin, Joey. It's your choice.


BTW, thanks for un-banning me. I don't know what happened there.

The DDoS was using lots of different IP adresses, so to stop the DDoS, a lot of IPs were banned. Also, I don't think Valtteri not being there makes much of a difference.

Valtteri isn't even gone forever. He pops up occasionally.

We weren't DDoS'd, either. If that was the case (like a week and a half ago), nobody would be able to access the site. It was just some spam accounts that decided to join.

The IP problems should be fixed now, too.
