Keeper Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 what're the odds that more than 3,000 ppl loaded up the page at the same time? that way, maybe the forum logged the connections, just as it crashed? can't see how, like, but still maybe?

Showmasters Admin Too Tall Posted September 18, 2006 Showmasters Admin Share Posted September 18, 2006 My assumption is that someone launched an attack on the forum. What hankers will do is send out a virus that tells loads of other computers to constantly try and get on to a site. Because of all these computers trying to get on at once the site will become swamped and will vitrually shut down. It's called a "distributed denial of service".

HarriPanda Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Yeah that does sound like a DDOS attack, a fair amount of the forums I mod get them. The forums crash, and it shows there being humongous amounts of members online. There often isn't any reason to do it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showmasters Admin showmasters Posted September 18, 2006 Showmasters Admin Share Posted September 18, 2006 The forum did go down one evening last week, I remember now. Luckily we were online at the time and just rebooted it. Some people... *tuts* Andrea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
