Baiting the botmasters? Sounds brilliant... but I doubt it would happen.
If I understand this correctly, the attack is being carried out by zombie computers. Which means there's not someone sitting on the other end clicking it over and over |

sadly this thingy is getting bigger day by day and not all machines involved are controlled by an human being who could pull the plug... |

Perhaps a solution could be to have the link to this forum as a handwritten image file on the main page. That way only "real people" would be able to follow it? Of course they'd have to type it in to their browser, but it would be a way to separate this forum but still keep it possible for newbies to join up.
For example (sorry about the terrible handwriting, a scanned printed URL may work better):

Personally I'm in favour of Shiver's snail mail approach... drop boxes are about to get very busy as I'll be having my lads write my posts for me
Well done once again to Rover, leccy, lotta, shiver and anyone else on the admin team who I forgot. We are immensely grateful to be home. |

@ bearkat: lol, yes I figured we didn't just have one coffee-swilling, octopus-armed vlad going nuts on a bunch of computers 24:7!
BUT I was thinking that obviously that bot-master pulls the strings...so they somehow do some research or track us down somehow...by themselves. From their own computer. They have to set up the attack, for instance- so if we were advertising our new eater site....I would imagine he would click the link to find out where to direct the zombies next. (that's a pretty cool sentence right there...)
I don't know much about the zombie-bot DDoS other than the basic outline of how they work....but would an IP address we could confirm came from our criminal be helpful? I know he could be from any number of computers...but maybe the police would like that info if we could obtain it? |

@Rover: is it ok to post the current eater-linky on my emergency forum for everybody to see? Or do you want us to keep it kind of secret (released with pm's or so)? |

Here is a copy of the email I got from our ISP
Our ISP wrote: |
At approximately 6:40PM PST our fiber link to WVFiber went down momentarily, returning at 6:42PM PST. A ticket was submitted requesting information regarding the outage. A few moments later, at 6:45PM PST the port again went offline. Tickets were opened with WVFiber, CRG West, and our own techs quickly went to confirm our routers and fiber were functioning correctly.
A rather disturbing and alarming discovery was that neither WVFiber nor CRG (datacenter where our fiber demarks) had any onsite techs available to diagnose the problems until morning. Awknet attempted to get backup connectivity via Cogent, Mzima, and Linkline - however due to company policies none of these carriers were able to provision us service within 48 hours.
WVFiber has now dispatched a contractor that works on their behalf in the LA area to head into the datacenter and confirm if the issue is with the router or the CGR crossconnect itself. If it is infact a router port issue we will be online shortly after moving to a new port. Sadly, if it is infact a fiber issue we will be forced to wait for CRG techs to arrive and provision a new crossconnect.
I'll keep you as updated on the progress as possible. |

I found you all again, then couldn't log on this am
Think most of the posts I made last night have gone and got email to say iIhad PMs but cant see them
Thought you'd taken a dislike to me
One of my posts was praising Rover for all his work and redirecting me here so feel I should say thanks again |

I second Simba.
You've obviously been working hard.
It was just weird to see posts had disappeared overnight
One big coincidence the ISP being down in the hidey hole? |

Sorry was practicing my ninja katananananana skills last night and accidentally cut the fiber line. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and will send restitution to people by WU. |
