Server Status 09-07-2009

Guys, for the past 3 days we have been under a DDOS attack by someone named 'error' on this site, he posted here with his demands and we will not oblige him. This guy has a large arsenal of computers which even as we speak are attacking this server. Thankfully my firewall has been upgraded and it thwarting the attack, however, when I notice MORE IP's that are attacking, I have to RELOAD the firewall which takes it down for a moment and then all his machines have open access... this is why the connections are spotty right now. I apologize there is nothing I can do to prevent that. I think I have blocked most of his arsenal so essentially we have won

In blocking lots of ranges of IP's some legitimate IP's maybe blocked. If you can NOT connect from a location please PM me the IP address that you believe is blocked - www.whatismyip.com will give you your PUBLIC IP address. Please bear with us while we sort this out, this guy will not win and I think the worst is over now.

Is there anyway a mod or admin can post this where it maybe seen? There are many different threads regarding this issue... I think a dedicated 'server status' thread would be appropriate from now going forward so all these type issues can be in the same spot.
