    More security is being added to the site this morning, there maybe a disruption in service.

      I noticed.
      Against GunOwnersOfCanada specifically, or against the server farm you're hosted upon, or the combination of server strength & the version of forum software you're using?
      I know, you probably don't know, and probably never will know, the motivations of the DDos-ers.

        I don't think you're sufficiently controversial that the Chinese would attack.

        it was directed at our site from my understanding, the server took a hit on all other hosted sites.

        We have a front end DDOS protection system now, thanks to Still which helped set it up.

        I've been up since midnight drinking coffee and swearing about this issue

          My guess on the DDoS? BSD has done something epic and his Government friend "Bob" is very upset.
          "It is an absolute truism that law-abiding, armed citizens pose no threat to other law-abiding citizens."

          Ammo, camo and things that go "blammo".

            massive DDoS attack last night knocked us completely out, I started working on it at midnight, but really credit goes to Still for the hard work he did to get it sorted out

              Thanks for the updates. Still quirky.

                      Saw a short message that said something like "Checking your browser in case it's a DDos attack on GoC. This message will self destruct in 5 seconds."

                          The security is on "i'm under attack" setting as we are still getting hit but we are containing it, so you might get a short message then it goes away

                              Goodale is about to drop the hammer on gun owners and Wendy suggested CSIS and the Horsemen attack the site so we can't mobilize.

                              That other gun owner site is awwwwwwwwwwwwwfully slow for me to.

                                Our club's website was always getting hit with something or another so I asked our service provider to block everything except Canada and the US at the router level. Sure, we don't get any exposure Internationally now but who cares!! Haven't had an issue since.
