Furaffinity Down?

Transmutedelf · 12-23-2007

Well um its just as the title of the thread states. For 24 hours now Ive been unable to get onto furaffinity. So I was wondering if others have had this problem. Or if anyone knows what is going on. Well thanks.

Also I wasn't sure where to put this post so if it is in a wrong location I'm sorry.

They may be adressing lag issues. Everytime I went on there was always Lag. (I think this post goes in General Discussion, but i'm not sure)

It was up for about an hour yesterday. Earlier today, it seemed like it was coming back but just died again.

Yup, it's down alright. Pity...

It is suffering a Ddos attack just now.

Just chipping in here myself - I've been having loads of issues with FA since yesterday, from being unable to access things to apparently loading other people's pages. And now they're down again.

Methinks their system needs a serious overhaul.

Do you think one of the 4Chans has gotten creative with an attack maybe or something?

iirc, direct denial of service.

basically some script kiddie probably who hates furries and the furry community and its artwork has set up something that is constantly loading furaffinity's address. its hitting its servers pretty hard making it very hard for anyone to load up their pages.

imagine it something like the phone lines after american karaokeRRRRRRRRidol has just gone off the air in the voting shows.
