Title: More downtime..
Post by: alaskan thunderfuck on April 30, 2011, 05:45:56 PM
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.

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.

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.

Are you going to tell the community who?
Title: Re: More downtime..
Post by: Dizzie on April 30, 2011, 06:54:57 PM
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
Title: Re: More downtime..
Post by: lemonshit on April 30, 2011, 06:55:46 PM
Tell me who! I can fix their servers too! :P
Title: Re: More downtime..

No. I don't want the community attacking them or anything of the sort as it won't help the situation whatsoever.

Post by: wakeboarderCWB on April 30, 2011, 10:01:28 PM
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.

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...
Title: Re: More downtime..

I might stay up tonight for it, please tell me if it might be up tonight, so my wait is worthwhile.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
