Sorry for the delayed response. We are still under attack, this I know. As Scott mentioned earlier, we hope to be up for this weekend if not sooner. And yes, we are taking all calls into the call center and handling them quite well.
Please stay tuned, we will definitely let everyone know when our website is back up and running 100%.
Thanks for your understanding.

BlueMarlin claimed DoS attack which we now know was not true.
But let's play devil's advocate and just say they were in a little trouble. Why in God's name would you intentionally take down your website? The only reason I can think of is you had to relocate the server and even that would not take 3 weeks.
Another part of this that bothers me just a little is that these DoS attackers seem to know which books are big and which ones are not. Why a record long attack on the smallest book hit to date?
And the last thing that bothers me is that all of the other books setup multiple URL's and gave them secretly to their players forcing the DoS'ers to choose which address to block and that was effective. That could still be done today by BHB, so why isn't it?
More questions than answers.....

buzzsaw - you have no clue what your talking about.
for 1, we do have multiple url's. once you switch those on them a few times, they hit the host dirrectly.
i am done answering questions. you guys obviously have no clue.
would you want to discuss what your trying to do (to prevent these attacks) in a forum where the attackers can (abd have) read your info?
lol. use your heads

1. Do you still have the same affiliation with Legendz that you have had in the past ?
2. If so, why has Legendz' website been operating flawlessly for the last 2 weeks ? Aren't both your websites hosted by the same company ?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
don't know why BHB would be down, but i have to say legendz was up and down a lot over the past few weeks as well.

Anyone with the slighest clue about what a DOS attact is, knows damn well that it does not last for this long.. the guys doing the attacks are professionels and do not target small-time books, and they do NOT keep on going for so long, making it easier to catch them..
So stop the damn lying about the DOS attack!
BHB ARE NOT DOWN DUE TO AN DOS ATTACK!
