Why is Sythe always down?

Denial of Service attack is when one person continiousally sends requests to the server which takes up bandwidth and eventually the server crashes.

If it were one person it wouldnt be a problem.

do you know why they have something against us? :S


did you see my last post :S

So, I am just curious: How can these major hosts withstand all these DoS attacks or all the bandwidth rapes, but Sythe can't? (I think Sythe is the only site I know of that goes down almost constantly.)

 

Half the time Sythe is down because of us moderators doing our jobs and searching through IPs to find potential ban evaders etc. The results never come through anyway due to internal server errors.

It's a pretty unavoidable thing, though perhaps it'd help with the downtime if the database was pruned.

You must be online at all the right times.It happens several times a day for me, but usually only like a minute or two at a time. Sometimes it is much longer, though.

Same here but I think it's improved.

Because Sythe doesn't spend a ridiculous $5,000 a month on servers.

My suggestion: Find a better host.

It's not that the host sucks. It's Sythe is unwilling to pay a shit ton for really good servers, which I don't blame him. The current servers cost like $300 a month or so I think.

Sythe is down for me quite a bit, I am a chrome user and have tried all browsers to see if its the browser... Not the case- I do agree and think its the server. Everytime i had an idea sythe was down... 3 times today lol

I don't blame him either, but there is always a better host for cheaper. I know a free host that has anti-DoS servers which will almost completely stop any attack, or at least distribute the attack so it is much less affective.

Of course, I have never seen an InvisionFree server go down for longer than a few minutes - except for server 1. What are they doing different?

It's just irritating to keep waiting 20 minutes just to load Sythe almost every time I wish to visit.

They don't nearly have as many attacks as Sythe does. The amount of attackers are outrageous.

Multiple computers is a DDoS attack ( Distributed Denial of Service )

He knows that.
It's multiple people using multiple 'zombies'.

I wouldn't doubt that Jagex hired nerds to DDoS Sythe.

You can't take us down, bitches!

G00ns.net had the same mentality. So did Anonymous.

This thread got a ton of responses. I don't get why the hell sythe is such a popular target, but it's fine. This site's still awesome, I was just trying to settle my curiosity Thanks Sythe

 

[meodows92]

yah sythe always down, but not evertime.

 

[dan12345]

Its probably people from another site crashing the server

 

[jcash should kill himself]

its because haters know i am who i am, and i'm never going to change.
