DI Down...

[409industries]

The dedicated server that DirtyImpreza.com resides on has been experiencing some trouble in the past 12 hours. The cause of the problem is completely out of our control. There was an extended period of downtime between 11:00am to 3:00pm Pacific Time. We are aware of the issue and are working to have it resolved as quickly as possible. Please be aware that there could be additional periods of downtime while we work to restore reliable service.

You may experience some slowness in the fourms during page loads, this is related to the issue we are fixing.

Thank you for your patience and continued support.

damn dude... i'm sorry to hear that... don't worry though, everyone's going through tough times right now... it'll get better

Actually, Ben (who i lease space on his dedicated server) did all the hard work :P

[JustyMan]

sounds good to me.. is the down time from maybe someone hacking in and shutting down the server? like any peaopl would do that. anywasy tell the guy who has the server to keep up the hard work

I can't get in to the full details but yes, there were numerous hacking attempts. The vulnerability has been found and patched, so at this point we're just repairing some files that may have been damaged, but it looks like we're in the clear ;).

For the record -- and this is actually pretty impressive -- Dirty Impreza (and the rest of the server) had been continuously up without ANY downtime for over 1 year and 4 months prior to this :headbang:.

Sorry for any inconvenience, and thanks for your patience!
