Website issues lately

[Trekkan]

As you have probably noticed the website goes down at least every Saturday for several hours. This is due to a recurring DDOS against the server our website is hosted on. It's not against us directly, we just get cause in the mess.

In any case, due to this issue and other factors, we'll be changing web servers. This change won't happen overnight, but I wanted to give you a heads up that I'm aware of the problem and there are steps being taken to fix it. AKA getting a new webhost. I'll update this thread when there is more information. However the worst case is that you'll see some time down for a few hours, not something you all are unused to currently... hehe

AMAGAWD we're under attack!!!

Thanks for the update, I did wonder if it was just me and my dodgy down under connection ;]

Ok, we're on a new host/server, etc... Hopefully the DDOS stops. If you run into any issues on the website, please send me a PM so I can take care of it.

Also, if you know someone that can't get to the website, have them go to a DOS prompt and type: ipconfig /flushdns

That should force their system to get the new DNS information for the website. If that doesn't work, a reboot might help. Otherwise, you just have to wait until your ISP updates their information.
