Why is the site down so much?

[Govind]

DDoS Attacks.

If you want to help, try making the mods jobs easier by NOT posting threads about these attacks every time they happen. You don't accomplish much by whining, and it's not such a big deal anymore seeing how the attacks rarely last more than an hour or so.

To the attackers:

You can't bring the site down, you won't bring the site down. No matter how hard you try we will keep it online, so just bugger off.
