Somebody tries to hack our server at the moment with a high frequency, which causes the server to give up and automatically restart itself. Not much to do about this, we'll just have to sit it out.

Besides that I also feel very popular now with receiving over a 1000 mails in a short time :)

Some of us don't use social networks - data with e-mails and nicks sells like a cure.

Yeah right. Like we can afford the additional reverse proxy servers.

I guess video games are now considered evil now, along with most other things...too much white supremacy and Nazism involved! :p

I bet it's because of my latest entry in the "politics" sub-forum.

I don't know if they are offering it as a service, but if they do, it will probably be expensive and I doubt it is worth it.

They are just waiting for our Grimoire review.

Also, 1000 emails Myrthos? Did you subscribe to a Russian dating service?

Just someone trying to do SQL injections. That gives me an email every time.

So we were gone for a bit I noticed. As I am at Gamescom I could not fix it, I assume Arhu did. The "funny" thing is that with every SQL query that fails I get an email. This allows me to optimize things and see if someone is trying SQL injections. However if MySQL is down, as was the case here, I get an email with every visitor trying to load the page. I have over 12.000 now :)
Perhaps I should find time somewhere to not send them in this specific situation...

Could be an inside job. We may have a Codexian agent at work here.

Last year it went wrong a week after Gamescom. Now just before Gamescom.
Could be a coincidence, but perhaps there is a conspiracy somewhere.

DLinux attacks would be worse, we are running on that.
