The outage occurred as I was trying to upload a story, and I was sure I had done something horribly, horribly wrong!
Glad we're back!!

DDOS attacks aren't something that you just stop. It's like a flood and you have to stop it by building up a brick wall to protect yourself. Until you have every little hole plugged, some of the flood is still going to get through.
So what is a "DDOS attack?"

Distributed Denial of Service, they basically flood your servers with requests and bog them down.

Basically a denial of service attack, (I'll probably get this next part wrong...) but they basically flood your servers with bogus requests to the point the slow to a crawl and become unusable, like we experienced the last 8 hours or so...

A DDOS attack follows the same principle, but instead of generating the traffic from one central location, a network of compromised systems (this is one of the reasons you scan for malware and viruses) is used like a giant zombie army to bombard a network resource with traffic from myriad different IPs and routes.

they got the banhammer! nah, could be any sort of stupid reason that people do anything... I mean why do people make viruses/trojans other than to cause problems for people.
Anyone else getting forum load errors when switching between pages? I have to hit refresh after almost every load.

How does one respond to a DDoS? I know an attack from a single point, you block the source. Is there anything you can do for a distributed one other than duck and cover?

If you've got outgoing bandwidth to spare, and a router that allows it, you could try having the router bounce the packets back to everyone who's DDoSing you, thereby essentially causing the attackers to DDoS themselves, but this isn't always possible or feasible.
