Strange, but not strange enough to accuse a longstanding mod of DDOSing the site without any evidence. Especially right after a thread about how starting rumors about other members is petty and toxic to the community.

If it really was a ddos, I would assume it was just a third-party troll and not Glaive. He may have certain issues with the site, but he doesn't seem like someone who would do something like that.

You have to admit, the timing is pretty strange.​

The strangest thing here is how you managed to indent your post
Seriously how, and why? O.o Back to topic, though...

If Glaive wanted to screw us up, we wouldn't be back up and running... At least not this quick :glaive:
So let's just leave that train of thought until we get more clarification.

Glaive wouldn't do that, I don't think. Or if he did, it would still be down.

But a disgruntled autist could really easily decide to try a DDoS right now and the site is behind CloudFlare because of the history of such bullshit.

I guess he used the IP addresses from Encyclopedia Dramatica.

Glave isn't that petty, I havent spoken to him since I discovered this thread and I don't know him as well as I'd personally like to but it strikes me as a course of action he wouldn't take.

As for the reasons it could have gone down, Null need's sleep and problems happen around the clock and we are a relatively small site in the grand scheme of things that makes Null little if any profit so I doubt he pays for 24/7 mangement (and if you want that done right that costs), and Cloudflare isn't perfect either I have checked the forums a few times today and havent seen a error message but if they where having a local routing issue that some users in some locations where having I wouldn't be surprised (I like CF BTW, I use it myself, they are not perfect but the best option unless your a multi national with a BIG IT budget).

What a conclusion to jump to. Hasn't the moral of this thread been 'don't spread rumors about people'? That's what I got out of it.

To be fair, I thought the exact same thing and so did everyone who sent me Skype messages. Considering he now runs a website about "hacking and pranks" and he is now bragging about knowing exploits on the software I am writing, I don't consider that a lofty conclusion at all.

The actual issue was datacenter problems with Linode.

So basicly, the host was having connection issues. Makes sense
