Pokemon Showdown is up

[Zarel]

Dear reader:

I have determined, within a statistical margin of 1.4 shadows of a doubt, that the attack on PS has been successfully repelled!

Special thanks to chaos and Antar for their work in yelling at our server hosts to do ridiculously obvious things.

 

[W_M]

Thanks guys for your hard work.

 

[ThePhalanx]

<3 Zarel. Thank you so much.
(okay Antar/chaos, thank you too)

 

[Zacchaeus]

Wait, who's chaos?

Also: Now can we fix the problem where people can't join the chat or select a username?

 

[Relados]

Yay, my life is happy again! :D

Showdown is the most awesome simulator. Keep it going, you guys are great.

 

[Oglemi]

Good show guys, let's hope the next ordeal doesn't come along again for another 6 months B)

 

[aurora]

Hooray!

 

[LightBlueMist]

My activity level finally starts going up again and PS gets attacked. Just my luck! This is awesome news. Good job, guys. ;)

 

[CrackinSkulls]

are you sure because it keeps disconnecting me??

 

[Slim Slendy]

Yay! Thank you to all the individuals who helped bring Pokemon Showdown! back up.
Now, about that login server....:p

 

[verbatim]

Pokemon Showdown is currently experiencing some issues with the log in server, in this time please do not keep trying to log in, it will not work at this point in time.

 

[Zarel]

I just rewrote the login system, it should be fixed once and for all.

 

[CrackinSkulls]

The log in doesnt seem to be the problem it just randomly disconnects me after 2 mins or so

 

[Arcticblast]

I had the same problem as CrackinSkulls a lot yesterday; I'm just hoping that it doesn't happen again.

"You have been disconnected - possibly because the server was restarted."

[LimpWristDiva]

No it's not.

 

[Stratos]

Wait, who's chaos?

sarcasm doesn't translate well over the internet but if that's how you want to play it then ok yeah i'm a completely socially incapable idiot whatever lol

Special thanks to chaos and Antar for their work in yelling at our server hosts to do ridiculously obvious things.

Special thanks to Great Sage and Google for discovering the cause of our second-to-last outage, and additional thanks to our new hosting company for not being complete morons and helping us diagnose (and later block) the type of DDoS attack we were under.

 

[BigZac]

You guys rock.

Now..am i the only one who saw the server essentially crash just now?

 

[DTC]

You guys rock.

Now..am i the only one who saw the server essentially crash just now?

Yeah, the server crashed. It's back up now, though.

 

[BigZac]

Yeah, the server crashed. It's back up now, though.

Ah, was just wondering.

Ok then.

 

[Meli]

its down again...

You have been disconnected - possibly because the server was restarted.

whaayy T_T

 

[Antar]

downforeveryoneorjustme.com is a beautiful thing.

Btw, it's just PS that's down. Not the whole server. Doesn't look like we were DDoS'd again.
