ddos attack

I hear ddos attack a lot recently. At the risk of sounding stupid, could someone tell me what that means?

Thanks polarbear, I was wondering what happened, guess DDoS happens alot these days to good sites, guess it will be up soon.

Indeed.

We had an excess of 4500 guests hammering the site. Luckily, the server was doing relatively alright at handling it, aside from an occasional choke or two.

Though, the hosting provider finally "pulled-the-plug".

It will be down until Insanal chats with them, and gets everything squared away. Until then, all we can do is just wait.

hey I'm glad i found this thread! good to know it's only temporary... I just made it to the invite section there and i've been missing it like crazy. just wondering if the irc channel is still up, I never had a chance to check it out before the site went down and now there's no way to find out what it is..... maybe a pm would be in order?

edit: just wondering.... who would want to do this to TI?
