Well, just try connecting to the comic. DDOS in progress.

That would explain why I couldn't read the comic today..... Which is coincidentally why I joined this forum..... Either way it sucks that that happened, I don't understand why anyone would do that in the first place..... :x

At the risk of making myself more suspicious, I would like to say that the culprit is NOT me. Although I am wondering how the forums were accessible when the main site wasn't.

Something clever in the routing, I suppose; they didn't change the IP addresses to be different as I speculated (or at least they put them back now it's over).

That was just a practice for the longer DDOS today.  The server manager has done something different today to try to defuse the attack (which I understand has not ended, though it is much reduced).  The reason that the forum came back before the comic yesterday was a configuration issue; this has been sorted so that today they came back together.

In that article note that CloudFlare describe how they absorb such a DDOS - this is the facility the free version of which is now also in front of QC.
