Down Time

Some of you may have noticed we have had a bit of down-time recently. Apparently it's due to a DOS attack but it should be under control now.

I thought microsoft got rid of DOS at the release of windows nt? Has it returned?

DOS Attack = Denial Of Service Attack.....pretty much what happens when people have little time on their hands to do constructive things

Haha, I had the same reaction as Ur-Vile..."DOS? That can't be right..." It sounded amusing though. "We've had a sudden attack of DOS! Quarantine the Watch!"

I can only imagine the angst you must have experienced making that decision

Hahaha, it's funny when the Watch disappears during working hours, and I'm left sitting here thinking "Oh. What do I do now? No Watch, nothing else worth looking at on the net.. Hmm... Hmmmmmmmm.... Wait a minute! I could...do some....work........."

Post by **Revan** » Wed Jul 14, 2004 12:44 pm

LOL!

Why was it down this time?

You broke it Darth

Seriously though, the mysql server was taking too many connections and crashed - I think it's a hogwash story myself but I'm too tired to argue the point
