Our network of servers was attacked last night at about 10PM. The attack was a Denial of Service attack which ended up affecting GBFans despite not being targeted. The attack overloaded a router which GBFans also uses so it made the site unbearably slow and impossible to load. We are now back up to 100%.

I woke up this morning and it wouldn’t load. I thought I got banned.

It was a bit of a scare. Even though I’m still pretty green, it was a sad moment when I couldn’t get in.

Glad to see everything up again!
