Hello everyone,
As you may have noticed, d2jsp had some downtime for a few days, which was the longest in our 11 year history. I would like to apologize for this, and will outline what happened and what steps were taken during that time.
It started with some DDoSes, nothing especially out of the ordinary, but these quickly escalated beyond what my provider, and the entire building could handle. Our routes were dropped upstream to protect the network infrastructure of the greater Kansas City area. This is when the first outages started occurring. Immediately, I began to move to a more robust network, with a larger infrastructure. This process required physically moving servers to a new location. We went online again at the new location, but this too was soon overrun with the DDoS, creating levels of traffic never before seen in this area. At this point, we began moving our stuff yet again to another provider that specializes in this type of situation, of which we are now temporarily located. The location we are at presently and the new one both have much more resilient networks and policies that will keep us online in the long term, even through extended attacks.
Moving forward, another layer of protection will be put in place to try and buffer the site from such attacks in the future, but this will take a few more days to a week or so. It will also require moving the hardware again, but that should only be a few hours of downtime (since it is pre-planned), and, it will be announced beforehand. While all of these actions can help prevent short/long term outages from DDoSes, by nature of such attacks there is of course no guarantee that future attacks won't cause some level of disruption. My goal through all of this is to reduce that to the smallest extent possible, for a more long-term approach of this site not being shut down permanently.
In the short term, we still have some services that are unavailable (Ladder Slasher, Instant Messenger), but I am working to get them online as quickly as possible.
Please note that I have no intentions of shutting this site down. Any rumors you hear to the contrary are and will be false. Additionally, there have been no security issues, or data loss.
Once again, I would like to apologize for this incident, and I want to thank everyone for their help and support during this time, especially the staff that helped relay my updates to you, the users, and those behind the scenes in the NOCs involved that worked with me continuously to come to a resolution on this situation, through all hours of the night and over the weekend.
Sincerely,
Paul Taulborg
