We have been under DDOS attack for the past ~4 hours. They seem to be giving up since it doesn't seem to be having any impact (we have a load-distributed setup with 14 servers in multiple continents). Everything is running fast but there may be an occasional delay or two at times. Sorry for the inconvenience.
How would they benefit from doing that? It must be one of your competitor faucets out there, hoping that your site will fail, and that they can grab a share of your users, whilst you are down. ^hmmmm^ The problem is, your site attract users because you offer a excellent service and a enjoyable experience.
It is good to know you have good counter measures for DDoS attacks, I use it every day, and would hate to see it going down, because of these stupid attacks.
