What is the disease that Numa now has?

http://nmaps.net/user/fireburnsfree · Postby **fireburnsfree** » 2010.11.01 (07:08)

I noticed today (October 31st) that Numa is down due to a 503 error, which some of you may know is either an overload of visits simultaneously (which we all know Arachnid would not likely let happen). Or if the site itself is down for maintenance. Which may be possible, but if the admins are about the maps, for the maps and with the maps. Then why would they completely shut the site down without so much as a notice?
I realize that yes I maybe blowing this out of proportion, but it seems to me that only a few "selected" individuals know what is truly going on, and none of them want to let anyone else in on the matter. So thus I must ask, what is the big problem with nmaps.net, and why won't anyone let this information become public.
Any answers would be greatly appreciated.

It'll go away soon. Don't worry about it.

I was talking to nevada. He said that it was just obscene traffic. O_o

I'm almost certain that the non-arachnid admins have no power over the coding and the site itself (although they can do just about anything else from there). So that leaves arachnid working on it, or a lot of traffic. You tell me.

Yeah, it's funny, but NUMA is ridiculously easy to DoS. Just with a simple mapdata API pinging script. (Testing if I could extract it using PHP, and kind of let an infinite loop run for kind of several hours on accident.)

Nothing will stand in our way.

That's what's wrong with you folk. You use the same old tactics... it's boring.
