I noticed the number too, probably is simply the page chosen to be reloaded by the people doing this.

If that is the only method used for this DDOS it's quite inefficient, but if it works ... style isn't for everyone.

If someone start to reload a thread I created that shouldn't make me a suspect. :shock:

Yes, I agree the posts are peculiars, but maybe he's only a person having difficulties writing in english, so he prepared a "general purpose intro"! Maybe it's not a fantastic way to introduce yourself, especially when asking for a little too much help (convert this for me) but we should try to not see something more in that !

Honestly we don't know. Only people having access to the PB server can do some guesswork... if they really want.

Hello,

through all this mischief I stumbled across a hint and found that the price of the purbasic-site has just speeded up to nearnly 100 MIO EUR ;)

Fortunately everything seems to be allright again ~ thanks for fixing it :)

Maybe Psychophanta has a conspirac...errrr...theory.. that explains this :)
The advantage of a 64 bit operating system over a 32 bit operating system comes down to only being twice the headache.

Well, the only style thing about DDOS at all is that it's pretty retard style...

Site is still ridiculously slow with pages failing to load.

Please, please, please tell me there is a backup in-case someone set us up the bomb.

For great justice!

Regarding the attack ... the decisive question is (as always): Cui bono?
Well, we'll probably not be able to answer it. :cry:

Hey, I allways considered NZ to be one of the centers of the world.
(Even if, maybe, not one of the largest ones)
