Past Incidents

skinheadpersonals.com domain was under DDoS which halted our webserver and PHP backend. That halted all of our frontend sites. Domain was moved to CloudFlare, didn't help. Domain was forbidden at webserver level, didn't help. Finally, sysadmins blocked the domain IP on load balancer level and everything is back to normal. Other websites that share the same IP will be moved to different addresses shortly.

Incident occuret at approx 11am UTC, or 12 CET, or 6 EST. Our service was interrupted for an hour, roughly.

Adult database (specifically a1) was having trouble keeping up with the traffic. We've offloaded some work to the slaves, but it didn't help much. Service was available all the time, but with considerable slowdown. Sysadmins will try to move the instance to faster hardware.
