jack got a reaction from brooks. in New Forum
1. We may have gotten DDoS'd. Basically someone pays a fee to some company and they send tons of connections to our host, maliciously, to make it so no one else can use the site (overloaded). The host then shut the site down because it had too many connections. We have suspicions as to who it was but no way to know for sure.
2. Nothing to do with SMF or Adobe.
3. Backup may be salvageable, but would be far easier if the host would cooperate, from what I hear.

its like a guy who pays some money for a site to send another site 1000s of web requests per second making it impossible to use for other people
picture 200 people trying to get into one door at the same time
