@maddog107 The site has been highly unstable for the past 48 hours. What's happening behind the scenes?

someone is doing a DDOS attack on the website. They got a hold of our non public IPs and have been hitting them hard. Our provider has been able to mitigate the majority but the filters have to be adjusted every now and then based on the changes in the attack.

sorry!

The rest is confetti

Error:

We ran out of disk space earlier due to all the logging we enabled while we were under attack. I fixed it earlier today, can you please confirm? thanks.
