Downtime 6/6-6/7
*sigh* Hello everyone.

You're probably wondering what happened to DeadJournal all day on 6/6/07.

Another server in the same facility as DJ was hit with a distributed denial of service attack. Meaning they flooded the network with so much bogus traffic (80 megabits/sec) that no legit traffic (meaning you) could get to the site. In fact, the entire facility was brought down by this attack.

The attack was NOT aimed at DJ or anything related to DeadJournal. We were just an innocent third party that got hit during the attack. A lot of us were.

I feel awful that I've had to sit all day and watch the site crawl and die. I have not been able to do anything to help anyone but just wait until the attack either stopped or upstream blocks had been put in place.

Again, these attacks did NOT target DJ, you, or your journals. We just got caught up in the flood of traffic.

Thanks everyone for your continued support, and I'm sorry for the downtime.
