From the DP Yahoo group:
"I just talked to Joe on the phone, and he said he's behind in his
emails, so I hope he doesn't mind if I send out this update (and I
hope I get everything right!)..
Apparently, it was another DDOS attack on the phpBB software. Two
days ago, the software version was updated to fix some security
issues. When the new version came out, the script kiddies out there
quickly figured out what was fixed in the NEW version, and used
those exploits against anyone using the OLD version (the version
without the fixes). Bye bye DP.
So now the big problem is, the hosting for the server doesn't want
to host DP anymore because of this. It wasn't a direct attack on
DP, but because of the software, this has happened twice now.
The long and the short is, they're working with the hosting, but it
looks like it's going to be a couple of weeks before the site is
back up. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news
Also, I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do Secret Santa anymore,
as this will push us WAY off schedule. I'll try to think up an
alternative in the meantime, but I'm not sure how it'll work and
reach everyone that wants to participate.
That's all I've got for now. I'm sure Joe will update us soon.
Please pass the word along to everyone else if you can. Thanks

For some reason the site is still down. I have no idea what's causing it.
(ps - thx kap for your paranoia... you still should be on GreatestJournal) |

Damn, that's pretty fucking harsh. The last thing you want is to lose your hosting because phpBB is a piece of shit, but apparently that's a pretty widespread problem. I can think of at least one other phpBB-using site that has had the problem.
I was kinda hoping they were having some other problem, whether it be a database problem or something else more mundane; the last thing anybody wants to hear about is their phpBB going down and taking everything with it.
DP is probably a pretty big target, too. I can't help but wonder if it's just some random bunch of kiddies doing it or if it's targeted. Either way, it sucks pretty hard, and I hope they can come back up soon.

Damnit adaml, you're only supposed to post here if it's down. Who cares if it isn't?
In other news, I clicked your link, and Digital Press is down. |

Okay, good, now that it's "back" we can return to my original intent of pointing out just how insanely often that site goes down.
Like, right now, it's down. |
