Hey everyone,

The WBO has been down for almost an entire day due to a DDOS attack on our host. Simply put, our host was extorted and bombarded with requests of up to 4GB/s of data, causing the servers to crash. We've been moved to a more secure server now and there should be no data loss. Sorry about the inconvenience!

Whoa... Any way to figure out who's responsible?

I honestly don't know anybody who would have a grudge against a spinning top oriented forum...

It was an attack on the host, not directly at us. But it should be okay now.

Yeah, it seems this has been a common thing. Just recently Daizex.com had their host attacked too.

Someone has been going around offering "protection" for loads of money and promising "connectivity problems" if hosts didn't pay up, so I won't be at all surprised if these two incidents are related..

^ Internet mafia?
We any more safer now? Or can the same thing likely to happen again...

Our server is protected now so more attacks are unlikely.

thank god the site is safe
and thanks for your work to make it safe again

so this attack is the cause of the site going back to the past?
or making it go to the past is part of fighting the attack?

What are you talking about?

today, when the site was down.. it worked for maybe an hour but everything was old. the posts and threads and pms. am just wondering what caused this to happen.

I don't play beyblade anymore! Most of my posts were written between 10-12 years old, so sorry for any immature posts you may find.

The new server does seem to be a bit faster
