Server Issue Update - 22nd August

[CashleyAshley]

Thank you John...

[CockfighterOliU]

Thank you for your hard work John

Big thumbs up.

[FEMMEFIGHT]

Thanks for the support all. Please also give an even bigger thank you to Oughost, our System Administrator who has put in a huge effort to bring life back to this place.

Without his work on this we would be days away from this point.

We are not out of the woods yet and the site may yet go offline again ..and again.. but we are in a better position today than yesterday and that is all we can hope for, to move forwards.

I know there are some minor issues with the site at the moment but our intention and target is firstly stability. Once we have established that for a period, we can start to fine tune things and work on fixes here and there

Please follow us on twitter to stay informed if the site does go down again - @Freecatfights / https://twitter.com/Freecatfights

cheers
John

Thank you very much, John! Not only for dealing with this unfortunate incident but also for all your hard work on the day-to-day running of this terrific site!

Glad to see you back, missed you.

Very pleased to see the site back. Thanks for all your hard work!

Great to see you up and running again, and thanks to everyone responsible for your return

[FEMMEFIGHT]

We're monitoring the server. Huge thanks to our sys admin Outghost here. We have been under a heavy and sustained DDoS attack. If you know what that is, it's not even funny.

Anyhow, we could be hit again but were monitoring the servers and have some additional steps in place which may / should / could help us next time around.

It could be a bumpy ride for a bit.

Thanks John and Outghost for all the hard work you have put into getting us up and running. I know I was hearing from ALOT of people who have missed it here.

Whatever you guys did, good job. Way to stay and fight for what you created. I might not get along with some of the admins/mods, but I respect your willingness to keep this site going. So I'll be on my best behavior while in here, out of respect.

Thanx for getting up and running again

[joxx]

Huge thanks to everyone who worked so hard to bring this community back online.

[jondo53]

So glad to see you back! Who on earth would make an attack on a cat fight site? Some twit!

[Rowan Chance]

Thank you for your hard work!

So, if this was a Distributed Organized Denial Of Service, it would be DODOS?
