Downtime VII? - YinYin - 05-15-2013
Okay now that the 403 is getting more frequent and I suspect it is still some ddos disguised as a crawler I asked my own webhost how they deal with this kind of stuff.
First of all they have scripts running that auto ban IPs upon huge request amounts. I can only hope LFEs webhost has that too or else you should really consider paying someone else for this in case you can. If you somehow cannot get out of the contract or anything we seriously need to set up our own scripts to catch this stuff. Cause it's a real shame if you have to pay for nothing.

LFE needs a better antivirus system in think so that it cannot be hacked
RE: Downtime II - MH-Razen - 05-27-2013
it doesnt need a better antivirus, it needs a softwareupdate. Problem is neither BluePhoenix or me got the time to rebuild the mainsite.
Everybody with suggestions for that problem is welcome.
RE: Downtime II - YinYin - 05-27-2013
Host the mainsite elsewhere so the forum doesn't go down because of it.
RE: Downtime II - AmadisLFE - 05-27-2013
yeah well but if we cant stop LFE from being hacked then LFE will do unknown errors right
Edit:

Viruses do not hack web hosts.

Say a computer gets infected with a virus that checks a server for instructions.
It might be instructed to keep connecting to a web server and thus overloading it.
That is the basic premise behind a bot net, that are a major player in DDoS attacks.
You are however right that it is not LFE that needs the antivirus software, but the computer that gets infected.
RE: Downtime II - Monolanier - 06-01-2013
Indeed virus can affect almost everything. If not straight to to they can go around.
What if lfe could get replacement, like use other forum before lfe will be fixed?
Use lf2 official forum.
