Right, so there's currently a DDoS of our site specifically happening. Part of me is mildly annoyed, part of me is proud that we're worth DDoS-ing now. Since it's only slowing us down a bit and not actually shutting us down, I'm half tempted to just let them run their botnet time out. I suppose we should tweak the firewall a bit though. Sigh, I hate working on weekends.
Update: Okay, that appears to have mitigated it; the site's functional at a reasonable rate of responsiveness.
Update2: Attack's over for now. You may go about your business.

Thought I'd take this opportunity to say "Thank You" to all the unsung heroes who 'hampster' away behind the scenes keeping the site up and running.
Yes I know you don't do it for accolades but all the same "Ta Muchly".
Overreacting is one thing, sticking your head up your ass hoping the problem goes away is another - edIII
