Title: Planet Pegasus being Ddos'd
Post by: Gigas on September 07, 2015, 01:32:47 AM
Thought maybe my loving fans voted me out and cleansed my IP but checking it out over on isitdown the site was up but I am having problems getting to it.

Is there an attack on the system lords domain?

Same for me! I am confident that Z and others are dealing with this. It was up, then down, then back up, then down, and now back up. Probably not cased by excessive viewer traffic, unless it is some sort of bots! :))

SERVER BLEW UP!!!

::)

Well maybe :P  Seems many peoples accounts were affected. Since all my sites are under livingmoon now   all of them were out

Globat usually posts a message on control panel but this time it took me an hour to even get live chat...  They told me "they are aware of the problem and it affected many clients"

So highly paid monkeys are working on it

Ditto. 

I'm used to it now.  I'd hate to think we could ever loose this site. 
I don't know about the mechanisms in place, but is there a back up if the worst should ever happen?

Database is backed up  Forum files are backed up  so yes the forum can be copied to any server  but would likely lose some recent posts depending on when the last backup of the database was done

This time was simply the server itself. They may have been updating equipment (as it was done on a Sunday....

or some equipment burnt out. and they had to reload it.  A few years back one of the main server buildings literally blew up :D  They were down for 24 hours  Not bad considering

This one falls under the SH!T HAPPENS  category

and if someone screams JADE HELM I'm gonna bitch slap em :P

Don't forget that the forum and gallery are thelivingmoon/forum  and thelivingmoon/gallery

So anything we have is under that domain  Even UMLR, LandofLegendsLV and my other domains all point to sub directories to keep it on one hosting account

What killed the server.. I will leave up to you guys :P But at least this time it wasn't our fault :D

Now a jet blows up in Vegas. They're zeroing in on the system lord of Las Vegas

British Airways flight bound for London was on the tarmac at McCarran Airport
The jet was taxiing towards the runway when it burst into flames

How that happen.

it's another boeing 777

ok I don't know about the 200


The Boeing 777-200, popular with airlines for its fuel efficiency for long-haul flights, was bound for Gatwick Airport near London.
