The attackers found another slow db query to exploit, so had to put some temporary measures in place.

Will post more details later!

This time they actually took down the instance for several hours.

Man, people really suck. Is there anyway we can help or assist? Maybe donations to help with server costs? Thanks for all you do to keep it running! This place is fantastic and I hate seeing it being targeted.

Its ok but thank you very much for asking!

Server costs are small and its not that many problems with the server. We had almost a full month of constant uptime without doing anything, and then this attack ruined that, but thats life.

Keep using the instance, its enough motivation for me to keep running it. :)
