Okay, so LJ admits it's a DDoS attack now. Sodding hackers.

Is that what it is? It's become completely non-functional at this point. And IT'S ANNOYING!

[kathyh]

I was thinking it was probably that to have gone on for so long :( Ironically mine was more or less OK yesterday, but not today! Sodding hackers indeed.

LJ Status has been updated with full details. Now I'm wondering if there's another political storm going on in Russia that we don't know about. Maybe someone posted an anti-Putin diatribe?

[shapinglight]

It was okay first thing for me, but now it's gone again. :(

And there I was going to post another Game of Thrones episode review post, which I'm sure people were desperate to read. ;)

[fenchurch]

Yeah... I had no problems at all yesterday, but today can't reach the site at all.

[shapinglight]

It's still going on. Maybe they bump the strain to different servers?

I have no clue what I'm talking about, you can probably tell

[spikereader]

It's getting incredibly annoying, especially as I seem to get in and think I'm OK to type a comment, which promptly disappears when I try and post it. *sigh*

[shipperx]

That's what we need... on top of the American economy about to implode because of insane tea baggers intent on destroying the President... and THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT! (Can we declare teabaggers to be terrorists yet?)

[kathyh]

Well, I would have read it *g*. Even Dreamwidth is running slowly for me now! Possibly the internet is trying to break me of my addiction!

[kathyh]

I could see it this morning, but it's been getting steadily worse all day. Now Dreamwidth is running slowly for me too! Sigh...

[shapinglight]

Can't you just all storm the House and arrest them for treason? Seems pretty treasonous to me to ruin your own economy on purpose.

[shapinglight]

Yes, it's slow for me too. LJ refugees trying back up to DW? Or maybe this DDoS attack is aimed at any site using LJ coding.

[shapinglight]

I could post perfectly well yesterday, even comments. Could first thing this morning too. But it's gone again.

[gillo]

Mine worked OK when we got home yesterday, but today it's a no-go area. :-(

[gillo]

On a global scale of things it's trivial, but it's still bloody annoying. DW is a bit slow too, probably because of extra strain from LJ refugees.

Grr.

And possibly aaargh.

[shapinglight]

There's also some trouble with their software, they say. Or whatever Apache is.

:is a techno Amish:

Right now we just have to hope that the Senate and Harry Reid can pull off a miracle.

The Tea Party House has already threatened to impeach the President if he tries to invoke the 14th amendment to save them from themselves.

Hell, at the moment the Tea Party are demanding that their OWN Speaker of the House step down.

How do you negotiate with people who are damned and determined to shoot the hostage in the head? Worse, we're all the hostage!

:Boggles:

And of course it's not just Americans but the whole world. I think in the circumstances we all should get a vote.
