We've been getting a constant 10gbps attack for the last day or so. I'm working with the host to get this resolved as soon as possible. We should have the servers back up and running late tonight or tomorrow morning. I apologize for all of this and I'd like to thank you all for sticking around and making CG what it is.
-
Awww Man 3 days without CG..Well ill manage Cause it's worth the dang wait :D
-
Well Said Rolf But the person needs to grow up, who ever is attacking it.
<3 Rolf
-
Glad that you posted this so we had no more questions about the servers.
Also activate the shoutbox again please?
-
Agreed. The person DDoSing is probably some kid from a community that isnt as large as CG and he mad that his community sucks.
DDoSing is childish. It shows that you have to cheat to take down the competition.
-
Other communities are just mad because we have a gamemode they can't get that pwn's PERP, LERP, DERP, whatever else kind of faggot thing there is now. :c
-
Well CGMC will be up tonight so its not a Total Loss :P
Anyways
CGMC will be Hosted in a Dallas Texas Softlayer Data center
-
Up late tonight/early morning? Well done to Rofl and all the guys working on gettin' them up, I think I'm already in the first stages of HL2RP Withdrawal! Argh!
-
It's good to know what the cause of this whole mess was. I hope the servers are online by tonight, anyhow, good luck ;D
-
Well, at least the server time is 2 hours ahead, so maybe 3 - 8 more hours until OCRP is back up :D
-
Im telling you, its someone from Exiled Servers. They are pissed that their servers are down. And Exiled is the biggest PERP server, so we might be dealing with big daddy.

Don't point fingers at people. We know exactly who it is.
-
Are you going to tell the community who?
-
i think its best to leave it as the people who know, because rolf doesnt want any one fighting back on him, so i think its best you dont ask who it is
-
Tell me who! I can fix their servers too! :P
-
No. I don't want the community attacking them or anything of the sort as it won't help the situation whatsoever.
-
Tell me who! I can fix their servers too! :P
haha :L
i said that to rolf:L but he wouldnt give me there IP :(
-
I was kidding and you know it wuffle. But still tell me who it is. :D I'll keep it a wtlkjgfjdsecret.
-
No. I don't want the community attacking them or anything of the sort as it won't help the situation whatsoever.
As i said, its best no one knows who it is, and just leave it, Servers will be up tonight or tomorrow:L
Even if its like 4am in the morning PLAY :D
-
Hopefully they give in tonight. I really want to get 468 off his trainee rank for RAZOR...
-
Come on CG! Use all of your strength!
-
Dont worry, im sure we can all great. Aside from these random ridiculous attacks we sometimes get, the server(s) are perfect, enough said. Your doing a great job, and im sure i can wait until late tonight or tomorrow. Kepp it up until then! ;D
-
True dedication. That's all you need to stick with CG over this downtime. Good job, Rofl, on getting the servers back up. Stop worrying about who it is, everyone, you don't need to know.
-
Its good to receive an update. Also, Adam, I wish you to message me on SF when the MC is up, I will join.
-
I came home from my trip and theres no servers up, i was sad.
But moral of story, i can't imagine how hard it is to do this server hosting in all, so i can't complain a lot...
-
I might stay up tonight for it, please tell me if it might be up tonight, so my wait is worthwhile.
-
Probably not.
-
So let me get this straight.
There's nothing we can do about the attacks other than just wait for the attackers to stop? What's keeping them from just DDoSing the servers for a week, or 2 weeks, or 3 weeks?

Wrong.

Any distributed denial-of-service or denial-of-service attack is illegal in the US under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.
-
Well, that's what I mean.
How long are we gonna wait until he "gets bored?" If he's a really persistant little bastard, he could pretty much force CG to shut down, right?
-

Not really, there are ways that CG could move past, bust most are considered last options as they are easily found out and brought back into being attacked.
-
Sorry, I thought wrong. About 2 years ago, i'm an idiot for assuming things was legal, you could sue in a civil action lawsuit for the moeny lost during the i'm an idiot for assuming things, but that is just in bussiness.

i'm an idiot for assuming things has never been legal. It was in a grey area until events made it so that it was better for the government to have it in writing.
-
CG really wouldnt shut down because of i'm an idiot for assuming things. Its gmod, it happens, we get over it. Jeeze gmod is like, the game with the highest amount of i'm an idiot for assuming things attack. It happens to every community.
-
Thank God, because this community is really and truly unique, and part of me would die if CG got shut down by a i'm an idiot for assuming things'er.

No, how long have you known about i'm an idiot for assuming things?
-
i'm an idiot for assuming things was never legal and will remain illegal until ...
-
Any intended loss of efficacy in hardware is illegal more or less I think

Basically... I mean i think rofl your host can do more but is not trying. But if this has been going on for 3 weeks your wasting money on keeping the box? Or is your host giving you credit.
-
sureley the person should had stoped by now, Your host would had sorted something out.
If not, your host is conning you, and wasteing money

Was starting to suspect that. They've had us nullrouted for 3 days now. If they don't sort it out by tomorrow I'm going to probably switch hosts rather than pay for a month at our current one.

Hello long time forum creeper first time poster.
To think people are so arrogant to i'm an idiot for assuming things every good community that tries to establish itself in Garrysmod is outrageous. First Orange Cosmoes, then Voltage Gaming, now Catalyst Gaming? The only reason why i play Garrysmod is because of the unique gamemodes you guys have. People in this world really need to grow the fuck up and start acting their age, but then again the people doing this are probally all 9 year olds.
But that adds to my post. Lots of people are selling i'm an idiot for assuming things programs, yeah okay I'm fine with that. But the fact that such large quantities of KIDS are buying these programs is unbelievable. I was playing a gamemode called Flood mod (sharpshooter server), and this little kid was screaming in the microphone. I said what i say to all little kids screaming in their mics which is shut the fuck up. He said the following, "Iora you faggot im so gunna Devnull your ass you faggot im gunna blow up your internet faggot". I said "Aww cute lil skiddie" as i didn't believe him, 2 minutes later my ping spikes up to 800 and my internet goes offline. People who are selling these programs want to make money but they should at least have the common sense not to sell to kids. It's like giving a 5 year old a gun, he's just going to shoot whatever he doesn't like or understand. And to add insult to injury, now people are distributing links that get you banned off servers? It just really rocks my boat.

I agree with this so much the people selling should be arrested.

That would be nearly impossible, i doubt Interpol would go on a Nation-wide search to root out people selling i'm an idiot for assuming things programs in a small community like Garrysmod. Our only hope is that the people using them grow the fuck up. There is an easy way to avoid getting i'm an idiot for assuming things'd though, thats to buy a VPN, but we, the players should not have to pay extra money for a VPN to enjoy our games. All we want to do is play games, have fun, and make friends. But theres always going to be people out their ruining everything. All just for the feeling of power, when you give people power they are going to abuse it. No matter how pure they are. Thats what makes us humans so dangerous, It's in our nature, to hurt others and those around us for the sake of power.

I have Devnull but I rarely use it. I only use it at time when there's someone threatening to take down MY internet. Or that one time I was testing it and... Kinda took down GriffinRUN networks. But still, I have it, but just for cases like someone threatening to take me down. I don't go on random servers going 'admin or i'm an idiot for assuming things' or 'i want 500 million perp moneys or i i'm an idiot for assuming things ur servar'.

It's okay to own one, its like owning a gun, theres those who will use it in self defence, theres those who will never use it, then theres those who go out every weekend shooting anything that fucking moves. Thats what the kids are doing, they believe they have power to control, manipulate and destroy people. It's bonkers. But hopefully there will be a way to stop all of this soon enough. Or God save us all.
-
I've never thought of Devnull like a gun. You're right... There's those who has it for defence, those who never use it, and those who go and use it on people they don't like.. If we still had the rep system, I'd be '+rep'ing you.

Thank you my good Sir.

In other news today the MC server hit 20/20 users :D

I haven't played MC since the last time where all my stuff was deleted by accident and it was saved that way. Hmm might try it again.

I am NOT encouraging you to buy one. I'm merely saying 1 in every 4 people nearly have some sort of a i'm an idiot for assuming things/booter tool and abuse it excessively. Your best off to keep it secret and not go round acting the maggot advertising it. AND only to use in self defense.
