Live Chat - Currently DOWN [RESOLVED]

[Warped3k]

Today we had an attacker that DDoSed our Live Chat server. Our service provider has temporarily shut down the server to prevent any further attacks on their network. No data was damaged in the attack, so we are discussing the possibility of moving the existing server to a new host that would be able to sustain any future attacks like we had today. We will update this thread as we have more information. Please be patient while we are working to resolving this issue.

UPDATE: We have migrated to the new server and I am just waiting on DNS records to get updated. In the meantime, if you want to connect to the new server now, please change irc.e-cigarette-forum.com to ecf.ddns.net on your server list if you are using a client.

UPDATE: Live chat DNS entries have been update and we are LIVE AGAIN

Some turd gets his knickers in a knot and feels he has to flex his abilities to be a big man...


Sadly, you just can't fix stupid.

Just an update, we are working to build a new server with a new host. I will be transferring all the data over, so it should be a seamless transition, nickserv registrations will remain intact, I will just need to do some minor reconfigurations. I will update this thread as I have more information.
