DigitalPoint Under Attack?
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
