We're Back

Someone out there doesn't like us. Who knows why. It could be a competitor trying to get our traffic, an RMT site ticked off that we keep banning their ads, or some kid with his panties in a knot because someone insulted him in the forums. Whatever the reason, someone is pushing a web of thousands of computers at us and trying to overload our servers. I've got news for whoever it is. We're not going away. Being down for a day just makes it all the more clear to us how much we appreciate our community.

We've upgraded our servers and switched to a bigger, more stable isp. There are more changes in the works as well. Whatever it takes to fight off this vile attack, we are willing to do it. We've also contacted the FBI and will file charges in whatever countries we need to in order to track this scumbag down. Whoever you are, you better hope you covered your tracks thoroughly.

This low life wants to shut us down and drive away our community. I'm going to ask you to do the exact opposite and really piss him off. Instead of going away like he wants, become more involved instead. Sign up for our premium service and counteract his attempt to cut off our revenue. Post links to our site on other forums and sites and make sure everyone knows who we are and what we offer. Become more active in our forums. Submit some kick ass news articles and guides. Edit our wiki pages to add better information. There are many ways you can demonstrate your support. We thank all of you for your efforts in keeping this site up and running.

Glad to see the site is back online, I was getting sick of 404 errors every time I launched my browser (ffxi.allakhazam.com is my home page on all of my compys).

Missed my daily fix.

Out of all the sites I use for help with games I play, Alla is Numero Uno. Like you said and I hope his friends hear this, if you know the scumbag who has done this to us, do us all a big favor & turn him in cause he is DOOMED
Doing the Right Thing

I would like to congratulate you for getting the FBI involved. Many companies try to cover up internet-related business problems instead of making them public. Having this incident investigated is the right thing to do. The more convictions that can be made and the more attackers become worried, the less likely the attacks will occur. If it is someone just "doing it because they can" they may find out that several years in prison is something the authorities can do to them just "because they can".

Keep up the great work on your various game sites. You are my number one resource for any online game information.
Welcome Back

Glad to see we're back and fighting. I've used Allas for many games over the last 4 years. Couldn't think of another site I'd rather use as a reference for all my game info needs. I'm a premium subscriber and no pointless lil freak with some sort of grudge is gonna make me stay away. Love you Allas, keep rocking !

In my own peculiar form of conspiracy-minded paranoia, my thought was that it's RMT trying to drive traffic away from Alla, and TO the sites that they CAN insert their malware-infected ads onto....

Glad to see the site again

Allakhazam is a great site. You guys run your business well and take care of your customers. It sadens me that anyone would want to do anything malicious to you guys.

I am sorry this is happening to you and hope that this attack stops.
Glad to see the site again

Get serious ... playing EQ and consorts, and not knowing of Alla? You underestimate yourself or? LOL ...
Dont get panic from this idiot(s), trying to deathping your site. Everone knows your site, and noone really will fade away from it, because of a few attacks onto ya ;-)
As this site is the most quality one for all the games you support, the site is alive as long as the games are online!

But I think ya did the right way ... Try to find this criminal and give him a KoS ;-)

Alla has been my forum home for many a year now and I am so glad to see it back up and running. I hope that we will see whomever is responsible for the attacks dragged through the streets kicking and screaming for their petty attempts at taking down Alla.

Welcome back Alla, and keep up the good work (and the servers please, I need something to browse at work lol)
WB!

Although bummed out by the idiots clogging the site, I am much relieved to find neither my computer is glitching nor Allakhazam has banned my presence.

I rarely make a WoW decision without first researching it here. Not being able to connect is not only an inconvenience but also a great mwaste of my time and money. I hope whoever is to blame realizes this and ceases and desists!

Thanks for the explanation. Keep up the excellent work.

Speaking of adding support...

If it's not already mentioned, contribute what you know of the site's history to the Wikipedia page. If what you do know IS already there, then watch it in case some sort of idiot tries to vandalize it.

The Page.
