I think you mean a character and 1999 more.

There's a special word for characters like him...

It seems the roleplay virus is spreading through other threads, hehe.

You should have seen the paranormal board /x/ most posters there seems like they came from an insane assylum with their paranoid ramblings.

Err, I mean, duh, two thousand?

Checked my email this morning, and it turns out there were multiple attempts to log into my account yesterday. Good thing I changed my password on Saturday. Apparently the IP is used by the Calyx Institute, who offer VPN services. I wonder if it would be worth making a complaint that someone is abusing their services?

Yup. I think you have a case, as per their ToS.

The website seems to work better now? But also a bit delayed sometimes. I wonder if there is server-side load, but I doubt it is that. I'll double-check the network on my end:

Huh.

 

It does look weird, but not necessarily bad. 37 avg. ping is pretty good (especially considering I'm on a Brazilian ADSL2 connection, and I'm pinging 1.1.1.1 which is a Cloudflare thing). The only really concerning metric here is the non-zero packet loss with just 29 pings lol.

 

Still, something is off.

[Yandere_Doomer]

It seems to be loading really slow again for me 

I hope it isnt another ddos

[wallabra]

Seems better now!

 

Odd.

[Yandere_Doomer]

I have absolutely no idea of why Doomworld keeps getting these weird... "Lag spikes" if you may

[DRM-MAN]

Who knows anymore.

[Doom_Dude]

Are the DDoS Nazis at it again.

Im afraid it may be.... 

 

im still thinking its 4chan.... or maybe the Doomer boards.. as 9/10's of their members are banned from Doomworld

[NoXion]

Someone's been trying to gain access to my account again. I'm actually wondering if it's organised criminals, hoping to find fresh targets among all the new sign-ups in the past year or so. They would be looking to compromise Doomworld accounts in order to get access to emails etc. I've already changed my password to something stronger, so whoever is doing this must be using some kind of brute-force approach with bots or something, because the idiots are wasting their time.

[Stupid Bunny]

I logged out on my computer and can’t get back in (Error 403) which suggests that anti-DDoS measures are being taken.

 

ffs

[seed]

I'm noticing the slowdowns once more as well, starting with last night.

 

So it seems they may be back indeed.

[Sunnyfruit]

I don't believe for one second this is 4chan, especially not /vr/

This isn't 2006 anymore, 4channers are too busy browsing furry anime porn and sending death threats to the 4chan archive owners because the servers are too slow

 

Also /vr/ is the chillest of all boards, perhaps the only one tolerable to browse today.

Wrong site for that :p.

[leodoom85]

Around 9 seconds takes to load anything, even notifications. Welp...

[xX_Lol6_Xx]

I still don't get it, why would anyone hack doomworld?

Honestly e621 would make Doomworld a much more interesting place.

[Linguica]

Someone is repeatedly spamming Doomworld with huge numbers of login requests from Tor exit nodes and absolutely swamping the servers. Even disabling logins isn't helping much. To be honest I am pretty sick and tired of the responsibility of running the Doomworld servers so I don't know what solution there is to this.

[wallabra]

Maybe temporarily disable incoming requests from Tor in the IP level, until you find a better solution.

People=Shit

[wallabra]

Isn't there a way to do that in the routing table? Or perhaps if you use a router/NAT device of sorts?

It's possible to get a list of all Tor exit nodes, so why not block them completely? If people want to use Doomworld then they can do it via the clearnet, and almost all Tor traffic is malicious anyhow. Fuck Tor.

I've heard websites nowadays use Cloudflare to get improved connectivity and security and such. I don't know about web deployment, and I hate corporate buzzwords, but they do seem like fine folks who do things well, so it might be worth a look, perhaps?

The problem is nobody has contact with the person who actually owns the Doomworld domain name, which you would need access for adding Cloudflares DNS records.

[ChopBlock223]

So who actually owns it?
