As you might have experienced, earlier today the websites and chat were unavailable .. somewhere between 22:40 CET and 4:20 CET. The reason is that we have (for the first time ever) experienced a DoS attack. The websites were back online and reachable again sometime before the chat itself was back. The reason for this is that, to ease the load on the server, i shut down the chat during the attack.

The issue is being thoroughly investigated, and monitored, by our provider. We know who was responsible and we will hand over all evidence we acquired.

Let me conclude with this... it's a sad day when 1 person, who clearly has no life at all,  somehow feels the urge to stamp on something that is being maintained with so much love and care as we have done the past 8 years, and in the process wreck the time that so many people have on this server. Such person surely must have a screw loose in his head.

couldn't agree more, some people have such sad meaningless lives that the only thing they can do is wreck the fun others are having,
 it was a sad day indeed 
but we wont be beaten by fools and idiots

It's sad when someone just takes down the sever "just for fun"
The person who did this should really get a life or something,
and not bother other people.
