It hasn't been ddosed, there's just too many guests viewing the forums.

(Or is it? )

it wouldn't surprise me, its been ddosed before by some skids, so I wouldn't doubt it.
Edit: Midly Ninjaed me.

irate:ed you.


Omni's gotten good at ddos protection, the site is still up, but the error:

SQL Error:
    1203 - User hfdbuser already has more than 'max_user_connections' active connections

I think omni limited the amount of guests browsing the forums, could be some kid sending his bots there.

 

[TraZ]

Thats the most common error.

 

[Skrewdriver]

how dont think it was overload of members...

That error occurs globally, for when 12,000 connections are open (an obvious attack)
It refuses to load pages as a safety percaution so that his server (possibly shared rack) doesn't hit 100% usage/cpu.

His firewall is worth about $500/700

 

[Skrewdriver]

yeah cuz why would he lower the connections down
when he know he lose members then?

That error occurs globally, for when 12,000 connections are open <<-- and i never saw even more then 1k members online
so im still thinking its something wrong...
but thats my opinion

 

[TraZ]

Id say its some kid screwing around with bots.

 

[Skrewdriver]

probaly.. :SS

HF is back online for me as of now.
EDIT: its gone again.

Not sure. I have a $230 (XLGuard) firewall, and round robin.
I can fight off the attack, and constantly change my nameservers IP until they give up.

:roflmao:

Any site goes down depending on how much bots they have. They could hit your hoster.

It just opened for me, but went down in a second.

I'll probably rage. Although, you see it's only down because Omni isn't awake. He could fix it simply, it's just a few commands away.

Omni is a fucking boss.

@OP
I don't think it's getting DDoSed almost EVERY morning from like 8-10 or 11 its like this.

 

[flAmingw0rm]

456 users active in the past 5 minutes (61 members, 5 of whom are invisible, and 394 guests).

I guess it's being DDoSed?

This happened to me for a couple of times. I even took a screen-shot of the Online Users as there were only thirty or more. It was such a strange view for Hack Forums.

Actually, it isn't a ddos. Omni has already stressed about that hardware failure from the datacenter.
