FoxyCryptid 4,330 April 17, 2015 Share April 17, 2015 Considering FiMfic literally has no quality standards beyond "it's tagged correctly, has MLP characters within the first chapter submitted, and is somewhat legible", I don't even want to KNOW how bad his work was for them to reject it. 3 "You know, I don't know who or what you are Methos, and I know you don't want to hear this, but you did teach me something. You taught me that Life's about change, about learning to accept who you are, good or bad. And I thank you for that." -Duncan McLeod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yisetab28 89 April 17, 2015 Share April 17, 2015 EQD is working fine for me. I just voted for Lyra as "Which Background Pony Do You Want to hear with Major Speaking Lines The Most?" Nah, I don't condone stooping to his level. Oh well. It contradicted my policies anyways, 1 DRAW PONIES AND WRITE FANFICS FOR MOTHERLAND Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuteycindyhoney 13,307 April 17, 2015 Share April 17, 2015 (edited) I'm worried you've got a point. EQD went down several minutes ago on my end. isitdownrightnow.com is showing it's still up and accessible, but even though my computer is reaching the server, no response is coming back. As of 11:11PM East coast time, EQD is up, although a bit slow. They report that it was a DDOS attack and FimFiction's data is safe. They say the site will be back one hundred percent. (They stated it would be up tomorrow, but we'll see about that) I feel better now! EDIT: Yikes! I was multi-ninja'd while I went back to EQD to double check it was still there! Oh well!

Vertigo-01 101 April 17, 2015 Share April 17, 2015 Sorry 'bout that! This is the part where I just need to wait until tomorrow before checking any sites like I promised myself I would.Glad to hear it's been confirmed that it's just a DDOS attack. Definitely a huge relief. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear, if I ever met the chuckleheads who did this (most of whom I'm 10-1 certain range from the 13-15 range), I so would have this reaction: "You'll hunt me. You'll condemn me, set the dogs on me.

~SadisticFluttershy~ 779 April 17, 2015 Share April 17, 2015 It really is sad that they would waste their time attacking brony sites. I have a feeling this one is next. It's sad and pathetic. It's a crime to hack websites and ddos them. It can give them jail time if caught. It's also funny that the kek guy openly admitted to hacking the site. Just a big smh moment... But honestly, it's sad. Some haters know better and stay out of the way while some be stupid and do such thing. They need to get a life. Thanks MiniKirby! It's soooooo awesome!

VitalSpark 1,830 April 17, 2015 Share April 17, 2015 I think it's down again, at least I can't get to it and isitdown says its down. It's up just fine, but they've switched to a new IP address (a load balancing network), so if your browser or the DNS server you use still has the old IP address cached, you might not see it. Unfortunately most DNS servers cache this kind of data for quite a long time. (Probably around 24 hours — I won't go into details about exactly how this is controlled, etc.) So you may be for a long wait. If you know how to edit your "hosts" or "hosts.txt" file, then you could try adding these lines to force your browser to access the site at the correct IP address: 104.20.7.209 www.fimfiction.net 104.20.8.209 static.fimfiction.netBut remember to remove it after a couple of days. ~VitalSpark~ [fimfiction] [deviantart] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering he and other of his supporters are asking for ransoms to get a site back by a DDoS attack he already claimed to have done and stopped during a few hours, giving time to fimfic's admins to build up defenses, I think he's not crazy, but just extremely stupid and ignorant about how the internet works. And for the kek stuff, kek means lol for a certain group in world of warcraft. Fimfic is up again, completely fine.
