Apologies

Underground

Starting at 2:30 AM early Sat morning (Fri night) EST, the site was attacked with a Distributed Denial of Service. Volume was about 10 GPS. We have been taking a variety of preventive steps, with thus far mixed results.

I want to apologize to all of you for the site being down, and for so long.

There are some truly smart people looking into it, but at present I am baffled as to why anyone would go so much trouble. If anyone has any ideas, feel free to post below.

All I can tell you at present for certain is that I apologize from the bottom of my heart, and there is a good sized team at work on fixes.

Cheers,

Kirik

Yesterday, July 13, 2013--a date which will live in infamy--the United Grounds of Under & Over was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Ho Li Fuk.

Kirik, I saw you've setup CloudFlare, it is a step in the right direction.

I also suggest at a paid service like:

http://www.blacklotus.net/

they are a SOLID provider, I had to setup DDoS protection for a gambling site (where russians where constantly DDoS'ing everyone to extort money)

They can help for sure. It will cost you a bit per month (I think the basic plan is around 1000$/month)

But if you contact them, they will help RIGHT AWAY and get you out of trouble. They wont ask for payment first.
