it's back up, sorry for the outage

cgilmo · Jul 2, 2010

We were attacked by a distributed denial of service attack

it was quite vicious, but I think we got through it ok.

A HUGE thank you goes to the planet web hosting in Houston Texas.

The biggest addicts, who were back on the site almost immediately are...

Thanks again to you and the staff for the dedication to get it back up and running for all of us Chris.

I tried to do a live box break at 6:00PM. It was a horrendous box break so no one missed anything there.

pghbuccos · Jul 2, 2010

thanks once again for all your hard work Chris and the rest of the staff.

possibilities

1. Random guy testing his chops.

2. Some guy specifically aiming at FCB for one reason or another.

1 is more likely

A_Pharis · Jul 2, 2010

If it was a rook, your sever host could probably easily track it down.

Do I get a prize for being the earliest alphabetical back online? lol!

cfind · Jul 2, 2010

I've stuck at home all day with sick, so ummm, yeah I was a little happy when I finally saw the site back up.

matfanofold · Jul 2, 2010

I dont know how I missed being on that list. I was refreshing for a good 15 minutes straight, and on the last one, BAM!

I could not have been a few seconds off the wire.

Glad to see you got it sorted though!

Casebusters · Jul 2, 2010

I know I was one of the first to come back on.
I saw only a few names at the bottom

Chris Olds. :lol:

HoustonTeams4Me · Jul 2, 2010

See Chris, I told you I could get a job at Planet Web here in Houston Texas & cause you problems!

:lol: Where's my McGahee Rc Auto sucka?!?! (next time it'll be much worse

)....

In all seriousness I emailed a handful of member's asking if they could sign on & tried over 40+ times throughout the day to get back on here (I thought it was my IE browser that was causing the problem for me alone, being that it has done so in the past to where I had to go through Google to get on the site). The one thing I did realize by not being able to get on FCB for most of the day was...I needsta get uh life! :lol:

BunchOBull · Jul 2, 2010

lol when it came back up briefly at 4:16ish, I was one of like 3 people on. I have the forums I frequent open on 2 computers and a Droid. I hit refresh whenever I walk into the room.
