However, we lost most, if not all of today's posts.

Just kidding... Got the same problem myself. Cleaning the Firefox's cache made it work right away.

Naw. I'll just let that one go. I think the concensus was that everyone thought I was wrong or at least blowing it out of proportion. So, I'll leave it at that. :-)
I did miss about half the posts on that thread though. I went to go do some other stuff and came back an hour later to a mail box full of notifications that people had posted. I deleted all of them in my email because I was going to the forum to read them. So, I went to the forum to read them and got diverted to a bunch of odd websites instead. So, I didn't get to read much after my last post.

Not only posts but also PMs. This evening I got a chance to login without a redirect and saw I have new PM, but now it is gone and I havent read it- hope the sender will resend it. And also I see some threads missing replies which were there in the morning.
glad we are back in position now

I thought the whole point of prepared statements was that they seperated the instructions from the data, making it impossible to inject anything....

I also got a "PM" that "disappeared". I think that was actually part of the attack. When I tried to open it during the attack it redirected me to another site. I tried it several times and that's all it did every time. So, there's a good chance that the PM wasn't real, but just part of the attack.
Unless, I also missed a PM. :-)

You really believe that someone would take down DIC on purpose? No... No this can't be true. Surely they did it as a joke that got out of hand. Never could they have dreamed that their little prank would keep us from using the site for a few hours AND lose a few posts. That would be... dare I say, "mean"? Someone, please explain to this young lad that no one on the internet is ever intentionally cruel, we're a tight nit group of peace loving activists who always get along.
Now that that's out of my system, let me explain. I know what will happen when I trip one of those fuckers wearing skate shoes... but I still find it hilarious. Case and Point: being malicious can be funny.

Could be from other web related "activity." Everytime I checked I just got a sad nginx message.... It'd be a real trick if DIC didn't use Nginx,then I'd be entertained by all this.
