Something odd, why is it that when I hover over specific avatars, I get some weird ad thing?

I think you are infected by some virus or something. Otherwise we got hacked.

EDIT: Definitively a virus you got. I tried in Chrome and didn't get those ads you got in it.

Oh, that's why it was down all of the sudden. D:
I saw the OmnomIRC shutting down, and Omni didn't work after that.

Now I guess what remains to be solved is the Chrome-wide issue causing people to be unable to load most pages. It seems to be related to the new anti-spam, though.

Lol weird. At least it doesn't show up in different colors like Netham45 a few years ago. :P

Also The real posting stats for today are messed up because of timezones:
date topics posts signups max-online views
2012-04-10 1 57 0 112 5454
2012-04-11 4 71 0 105 9252

Normally it should have been the following:
2012-04-10 5 128 0 112 14706

Might be good to substract the 2012-04-11 stuff above from the stats once timezones are fixed I guess. Normally there were 128 posts today, but the stats shows 57, because when the site came back online, the server went 6 hours ahead. I guess technically we didn't end our 100-post day posting streak, despite being up for only 9 hours today! :)

Wow... I thought Netham45 just nuked his server for fun :P Apparently it's something a lot worse...

Is he planning to install some kind of DDoS protection? Also, have we figured out the culprit? Google tells nothing about any 4chan DDoS planning... :P

WTF I thought my computer couldnt access the internet yesterday because of this!

I always go to http://www.google.com.au (in my case) just to check that it's not just omnimaga that's down.

Wow it must have been bad timing yesterday that I was online in IRC during the time it went down. I believe it went for longer than 3 hours though.
Wow what a fail I just read the times wrong and thought it was 3 hours without actually reading the title topic! Yes 16 hours makes much more sense.
I really hope that this doesn't happen again (though it probably will :P), downtimes like these are not good for Omnimaga

Yay!

Omnimaga is not down anymore! I'm relieved.
I don't understand how people can attack a website like Omni... Who could be offended by calculator programmers ?

At this we still aren't sure who is attacking. Good point Chockosta.

Also the forum time offset is now 6 hours less! Which I guess it is ok, however eg: UTC+10 is now 8. It'd be good if the time offset were set so that it fit with GMT/UTC time zones.

Hmm, I wonder if there is a way Netham could take the offensive...
What I am thinking is that since it was from a bunch of IPs, it came from a bunch of "zombies." (I think that is the term I learned it as-- pretty much, a bunch of computers that can be used normally, but can also be controlled by one person because of a virus). Maybe, if you could find a way to trace back to the roots, you could give them a virus of your own making. Make it destroy their computers, monitors, who knows. I know there used to be a trick where you could cause a few components to overheat and destroy the computer using a virus.
