Who would be so motivated or antagonised by us?

Also thank you Janus, I owe you pie. <3

 

[AWdeV]

You the Jan, manus. I also got a browser verification tho I dunno how that's supposed to help.

 

[Pharaoh Llandy]

Please place all food offerings on the table in the corner, and Janus will get around to eating them in order of preference.

He will also accept offerings of booze.

As for why... Bored children? Who knows?

Weird, I've had no verification thing yet. I am on my phone though, dunno if that makes a difference.

The thing is a DDoS like this would be run from a botnet, which would generally be costing somebody money.

The verification page is fairly quick and automatic with no interaction needed, so it might have skipped on through before you noticed.

Betty/Yaroglek/Cassius/whateverelsethe****hisnamewas had a ton of spare cash for extra copies of the game to continue to troll people. Just sayin.

Are you able to ask anyone if any other cloudflare services have been affected?
Could be a competitor or one of those wannabe  hackers looking for a job. >.>


Edit: Another mini-attack 0857 GB time.

Anyone remember that guy who claimed he was descended from Viking lords, or some such thing? I bet it's him.

 

[Kobrag]

I thought we burned him or something...

I have neither the disposable income, nor the inclination. Sorely lacking in cyberdouching skills too for that matter.

The devs have enabled some further DDoS prevention through CloudFlare for the time being which will bring up a page before you first access the forum to validate you as a real person. It clearly seems to be working, and doesn't seem like much of a disruption as it automatically went on through for me after a couple of seconds.

Only problem with this I have is that it redirects you back to forum index, not back to the page I was trying to load. Also, have got it three times already, might be because I'm just refreshing the page I first got it on

Edit: I still have the TWf Status Checker thing running, modified it a bit so it's a bit more reliable by checking the status given by Cloudflare in case it's not connecting normally.

This is becoming slightly unsettling. :/

"Realted to several old Danish kings," right? I ****ing forgot his name.

 

[Kobrag]

Whoever is doing this, I pray your toilet backs up and floods your house, dropping the property value by at least 45%!

Kavien, I think.

EDIT: eureka!

Really now. Is the validation page supposed to be a one time thing? Or something that happens every X page loads? Once every hour? I reckon I've got it about ten times already. Does disturb the foruming flow a bit.

 

[Pharaoh Llandy]

I haven't seen a single one. Crappy text phone browser FTW!

Seems like it does happen every once in a while.

Whatever it takes to keep these ****ing attacks at bay. I'm not gonna complain. I've had it with these attacks.

 

[Dusk Voyager]

I could be wrong, but it doesn't seem to follow a certain pattern for me. Maybe it only gets "suspicious" when there's too much activity at a time.

 

[Jace]

For me it's usually after I haven't been accessing pages for a while. Would not be a problem if it actually redirected me to the page I was trying to load. But nope, it always tosses me at forum index.
