Your Only Source for Competitive L4D!

This post is from Visor in the Neo Earth 4 Dead Steam Group:


Since this group concentrates the most amount of interested people, I'm clarifying the situation here.

L4DNation is hosted on a dedicated server in France, owned and sponsored by myself and a friend of mine. That server, apart from L4DNation, also hosts a couple of other sites, including the russian Teamspeak L4D3.RU. Without getting into the specifics of the drama that happeed between my friend and sheo aka The Grenis, I will state the real fact that we have now: the forum is now suffering from DDoS. The aforementioned person is responsible for the attack which is targetting the Teamspeak server, but due to the way how certain things work, any sites hosted on the same physical machine also end up getting affected.

This person is the russian equivalent of the South American DDoSer known as Skylar, who used to be a pain in the ass for L4DNation before I stepped up. He is notorious for this kind of behaviour in his home community, and lately beyond it as well.

The site will recover either when this guy gives up, or when I'm able to find an effective solution against HTTP attacks. Until then, L4DNation will remain down, and now you know why and who is to blame for it.
