This is a test, let's see how it goes

It's a lot better for me! Although the forum doesn't load in about 5% of the times. But the speed is almost back to normal!

OK, definitely just packet-loss then.

Meanwhile, it slowed down considerably again at the moment

Yes, it's going in waves. 15 minutes ago it was very fast. Now it goes slow again...

It's fast, you just need to click a few times if it's slow the first couple of times. Packet loss = even if the overall speed is good, sometimes your "signals" are not getting through; they're being dropped.

the attack is still going strong. we have a couple more tricks up our sleeves, but the site won't be optimal until it stops completely.

It's still very slow for me and pages sometimes fail to open - 7:30am PDT.

If you've isolated even a few IPs that are part of a botnet... maybe you could post them here... not so that anyone would do anything active. Rather, we could configure our own firewalls to reject packets from that source, and then, if someone used that information unscrupulously... it's not on you.

Definitely a lot better in the last few minutes. Feels like it's back to normal for me now.

Of course they are, but in theory only one or two are needed for... um... "reasonable self defense".
Anyway, PF is now smooth as butter.

If there's a more thankless job than spending your weekend, trapped by an idioit FedEx guy, fighting with (probably) one punk script-kiddy attacking a genuinely helpful site... I don't know what is.
Thanks Greg... have you gotten ANY sleep?

DDOS on PF..? Who would do such an inane thing ?
OTOH, it's a relief to know that's what causing it, I thought it was something I said..
