Problem with any sort of DDOS attack (if it is such a problem) is that there's sod all you can do about it unless someone somewhere has a "honeypot" machine to see who's triggering it :(
 
The forums are constantly going down, whatever is happening it’s not looking good as it’s not stopping!

I personally wouldn't take the risk tbh. No-one knows exactly why everythings lagging, server could be hacked for all we know.

There's no exploit, no hack - the servers are fine, if a little busy.

The only problem we have is tens of thousands of requests being made which completely drain the resources of the web server, it simply can't serve that many connections :(

Our host is working on it but it's not a simple problem.
 
Spies back tommorow I'm sure he'll be cracking the whip to get this sorted.

EDIT : Spies back now? :p

Security is fine. There is no risk.

Servers are running slow from time to time, but you are safe to order.

I don't want to sound condescending but there are numerous preventive methods that can (and should) be deployed to protect against DDOS attacks, namely a good security policy in the first place!

I'd be a more than a little annoyed at my host for prolonging this. It might cost you more in the short term, but have you considered contracting a professional network security engineer to aid your otherwise clueless host!?

We are well aware of the solutions out there and so are our webhosts. Please don't make assumptions about a situation you do not have enough information about to understand.

Everyone else - thank you for your patience :)
