SCC - Down again ?

[lol87]

The site is still down. It doesn't help to remove "www".

I hope that they ban this idiot who is behind this DDOS attack.

why does removing www get you through to the site. what exactly does the www do?

I don't know, making the domain resolve to a different server?

Anyway, it doesn't matter now, since they've DDoSed the one with the "www." as well.

its up and running

Still it is down

its up and running

Still it is down

SCC's functionality's going to keep on bouncing like a ball as long as it's being attacked.

No offense, but I think it's probably better to avoid the "it works", "now it's down" posts and use this thread for more important news regarding their downtime.

I hope that they ban this idiot who is behind this DDOS attack.

They can simply ping the login page and the main server page over and over, which is more likely with a botnet capable of bringing all of SCC's servers down.

I'm curious if they ever considered that the server might not even be getting dos attacked in the first place.
*Not saying it isn't but just considering....

Many times when a site switches source codes the server gets boggled down by new changes.
The site loads more pages than before...
The site has more queries than before...
The site may be loading more images than it used to...
Activity on the site may have increased due to FreeLeech etc...
Most of the time I notice sites say they are getting dos attacked it isnt even the case.
Its just a fact that the server cannot keepup with the changes that were made recently.
It takes a while to get the settings correct after making these types of changes.
Just because the test site didn't get boggled down with 1000 users using it doesn't mean the same will happen when everyone is using it.
Also just because you may or may not be using less sql queries than before doesn't mean the server can handle things as well.
I just find it odd that these dos attacks started upon them swapping to their new source code for all users to see.

Either case if it is a dos attack hopefully whoever is doing it gives up soon cause its a pain to see a site going up and down on the fly repeatedly for whatever the reason.
