We're working with our server provider to restore access to those communities affected. Thanks for your patience.


Update: 11:50 am EST

This server is continuing to experience a DDoS attack of a scale unprecedented in our 12+ year history.

We had increased the protection on this server after the surge in this particular attack over the last few weeks, and that protection had stood up until early this morning. Unfortunately, our server provider, one of the largest in the world, has informed us that the attack has continued to increase and is now beyond even their ability to block effectively.

We're continuing to attempt to mitigate the attack to restore access to affected communities, but as of now we don't have a good estimate for how long that might take.

At the same time, we're evaluating other other options that could also potentially allow us to resolve this attack sooner, and network structuring options that could allow us to avoid future disturbances of this scale.

Thanks for your patience and know that Brandon and I are working on this constantly. Our staff, many of whom have boards of their own on this server, are also working to communicate with those of you affected both here and through other means like Twitter. Thanks again
