"They were going to publish all this information on their website, but they’re apparently under attack". What's that about?
- wmf 15y agoThe site is (barely) working now; maybe it just couldn't handle all the fanboys.
- bgentry 15y agoit was either a DDoS or just the fact that >25,000 fans were constantly hammering the site trying to get an update. Probably also due in large part to poor infrastructure planning on their part and inefficient software (the announcement was supposed to be made on reduser.net, a site runs that runs their PHP user forum)
- stephen_g 15y agoGiven that there have been similar announcements in the past on RedUser which have not shut the forum down, and the fact that the servers were apparently upgraded a few weeks ago in preparation for this one, a DDOS sounds likely to me.
