DigitalPoint Under Attack?

November 25th, 2008 IBabel 3 comments

For all of you trying and failing to get onto DP Forums the last few days, it appears to be under a concerted flood attack.

It’s basically been down for me for the last 3-4 days – sometimes I can get in but never for more than a minute or two. 

From the chatter on this interweb thingy, it seems that DP is being subjected to a pretty huge bot posting attack, and the server is getting clogged up at a faster rate than DP can clean up the bad posts. From the chatter I’ve seen it is supposedly coming from a disgruntled user who was banned, but not I’m sure how true that is.

Anyway – it’s obviously a pretty big deal – and would appear to be the reason we can’t get onto DP at the moment. Just have to content myself with NamePros for the time being. 

UPDATE: DP appears to be running a bit smoother now (25th Nov 14:30 GMT) – I guess they finally stopped new registrations long enough to put a fix in ;-)
