It's why finding people who commit DoS attacks makes it nearly impossible. It's kinda like a criminal moving around constantly to different safehouses and using lots of false identities to hideOkay, but as Comms is our No1 suspect right now, if Cheat gets the list can't we just see if his IP matches any of them?I can compare the list of IPs (assuming I get them) to any that have logged in here, but that's all I can really do to see if it was him.

Does anyone actually have any doubt that it was Rose? An autistic person with nothing but time on his hands. It's fairly obvious.
In case you didn't know, yesterday night the forum was hit by a major DDoS attack that crashed the server and took the host's website offline for an hour. They've basically told me they cannot tell who was behind the attack because it involved many different IP addresses and the combined requests were several gigabytes worth. They kicked the site off of their server and we now have a new one.But since we have a new server, some stuff might still fuck up. Namely, remember that error that would pop up in the beginning (max_questions)? That is now once again possible, so I'm trying to work with this host in order to fix it before it happens.We can also get hit by this attack again, if the jerk is so inclined. I will be looking into things I can do to guard against it, but it's very difficult to stop an attack of the magnitude we experienced.More on this stuff as I know more.EDIT: your avatar is now broken if you uploaded one. You need to re-upload it.What we know: QuoteYour site is under a major DDoS attack. We have null routed the domain to stop the traffic effecting our servers. We will have to ask you to find alternate hosting for your domain as our platform can no longer support you.QuoteThe traffic was coming from a multitude of sources, it's most likely that some form of botnet was responsible. At it's peak we were receiving ~10gb of inbound traffic to the domain. Unfortunately in extreme cases like this we do have to advise that a site cannot be hosted on our shared platform in order to ensure services remain reliable for other users.

If dude was on a VPN then we can probably just forget about trying to trace his original IP. I don't know if there's anyway to detect that but it seems like a shit ton of effort would have to go into it.
I won't be posting the logs publicly, but if anyone would like to take a look at them they are welcome to them. PM me.
Who's our new host? How does it compare to our previous host?

I'm kind of wary of my choice now that I'm not in a panic because our site is down. If the service sucks it's possible we may change over to BlueHost before the month is through, but I'll let you guys know so you don't panic when the site goes down for maintenance if it happens.
OP updated. Please read and comment.
We have a new host now
