We have been hit hard from servers out of Ukraine and other foreign locations. It was/is clearly well organized.
It is costing us quite a bit for tech support to fix this problem, so we will be asking for fund raising shortly. Our annual funding from March of 2013 has run out. We have not done a fund drive this year. We only do it once and keep the money collected to what we expect our costs are for 1 year. The DOS attack unfortunately was not budgeted. We run an extremely modest budget and no volunteer is paid.
Before we even started a fund raising $658 was received. Thanks! A sticky going up later today. I estimate $3800 needed for the year. After I pay a current bill we will have around $900 in the account. This does not include a bill for the DoS attack work. The bulk of account pays for tech support for things like the DoS attack and managing our dedicated server and other services that pop up.
Our ISP has blocked some ranges. We will need to go through the logs so legit posters will be able to get through. I finally have a free weekend.
