What happened to the website?! [UPDATE]

[Mr_Dark]

Most of you must have noticed, Pokemon Universe was down for something more than a day. This was because someone (we don't know who) decided to DDoS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denial-of-service_attack) our server which made the website unavailable for anyone.

Even with the website back up the DDoS attack is not over and we're still looking at solutions to prevent the current attack and attacks which may happen in the future. So if the website is unavailable again it will probably mean the attackers have figured out our current solution and started attacking that.

As a side note, our chat is always available so you can always contact us there if you're unable to access the website. Bookmark the link so you'll always have it

That's all the info I can give you for now. I'll report back when I have more info about the stability of our server and website.

Update 01/08/12: DDOS attack seems to be over. Lets hope it stays away

Well this is a first.  Hope it all works out though.

[Mr_Dark]

DDOS seems to be over, lets hope it stays away.

[GrizzlyEatsKids]

No, we wouldn't end PU like that, we have too much of an history with you guys.

FYI, we're not planning to stop with PU, things are just about to continue again.

A friend of mine has some powerful anti-ddos software, I'll see if I can hook you guys up.

 Hope it helps.

[NexosYourGayBestFriend96]

YAY! It's over! (hopefully. owo)

[LeoReborn]

Over. for now. I'm still gonna ask him to hook you guys up, just in case.

I am glad that it won't be stopped so easily...Yea there is a lot of history for quite a few people on this site...I only recently became active this year but I have been lurking for quite a long time
Must say I wish I would of became active a long time ago. Because I am having lots of fun.

[Mr_Dark]

Yesterday morning we got attacked again. Now we moved our domain settings to another server, this way they can't get the IP address of our main server, meaning they can't attack it
We hope this will keep the attacks away.

*goes find the attackers* *Puts a bullet in their head...* I wish they would stop whoever they are!!!

You're not the only one who wants to know. I've had contact with admin from other Pokemon (MMO)RPGs and they were also attacked. So it seems like a direct attack to Pokemon RPG websites.

[nightshade06]

Maybe they are just jealous because they didn't think of this idea first? And just wanting to be a jerk to anyone who is making one.

[NexosYourGayBestFriend96]

Huh, that's strange.  I wonder what they have against the Pokemon RPG's... They have to have some kind of motive.
