DDOS attack, someone in russia was attacking the site, They're trying to prevent it from happening again/cleaning it up!

Yea I heard someone mention that wasn't sure it's true or not
How do you know that?o.o do they have somewhere they post updates on what happens?
Also what's a ddos? And why Russia lol what the person got against FA xD

They have a Twitter account where they update.
Here's a wiki page about DoS and DDoS attacks:

It may be a bit technical.
And why Russia? Why not? It could be anywhere. Furry haters exist all over the world.

I didn't know they post updates in the Twitter account, good to know if I ever wanna check.

Don't think I've ever heard of anyone in Russia attacking FA before, apparently according to some sources they're from Brazil actually.

DDOS is essentially an attack is a malicious attempt to disrupt normal traffic of a targeted server, service or network by overwhelming the target or its surrounding infrastructure with a flood of Internet traffic.

Furaffinity updates their twitter that's how I know.
The person posted a video of them doing it onto youtube but the video was taken down

I found the video someone archived it on YouTube. Lol some people have nothing better to do, it doesn't really do anything anyways. Yea FA will be down for a while but it just goes back up. Attacker is one of those retarded trolls with no real ambitions or effect on who they're trying to troll...

i would recommend you download the referances then

I don't need to clutter my already cluttered computer with images until I'm ready to use them. That and I never download references for commissions, I just drag them from the browser into photoshop.
And lol I can't tell my own art I drew regarding commissioners characters apart, there's no way and hell IM gonna go into a folder of saved refs and say "yes male white and red husky 5433 is definitly the one for this commission and not that other similar looking male husky with red on him".
My stupid ass colored several commissions with other people's oc wrong before and that was WITH the notes open!

But most importantly I like to check with the users if their ocs are up to date or if I haven't started if they wanna change or something :) can't do that offline :/

good luck with that
