Re: DDOS Attacks on the forum

Over the past 24 hours we've experienced a number of DDOS attacks on the forum, this basically means the site has been bombarded with requests in an effort to crash it.

As always our superb hosting company were on it straight away, identifying that the attacks came from China, Vietnam and Brazil. Steps were taken very quickly to stop the attacks.

The last attack this morning caused damage to the main forum database. This is constantly backed up so we have restored back to a backup made yesterday. If any posts were made during this time it's likely they will have been deleted. I apologise for any inconvenience.
