    Sluggishness

    Sorry about the recent sluggish response. We are under a heavy DDoS attack again. 4,247 users on at once. Nearly all appear to be from Quadranet. I've banned a couple million IPs and reported the attack to Quadranet. Why anyone would attack a little site like this is beyond me.

    Policy: Future DDoS attacks

    DDoS attacks are designed to shut down a site by overwhelming the server. It is unlikely that our server would be knocked down in such a manner. But, such attacks will cause the site to become quite sluggish. In future attacks, users may see a challenge page. This will remain up for about five seconds while a series of tests are performed to determine if the user is a bot. If the user checks out, he/she will not receive any more challenges if cookies are turned on. Sorry for any inconvenience.
