Site outage update

[RebeccaMumsnet]

Hi everyone,

First and foremost: sorry for the loss of usual service over the last few hours.

To explain what's been going on: shortly after 10pm last night, we started receiving a large amount of spurious (i.e. automatic, rather than human) traffic. This is known in the trade as a denial of service attack: one in which a person, or organisation, deliberately floods a website with requests for pages, with the intention of overwhelming its servers and preventing bona fide users from accessing the site.

It goes without saying that we're doing everything we can to repel borders and keep the site up and running. We'll post on our social channels with any further updates (we're over here on Facebook and Twitter, if you don't follow us already), and in the meantime, thanks, as usual, for bearing with us.

DadsSack: AWSOME!!!! BUTTHURT! YEAH!

Dr: Calm down Jeffery.

Hahaha!

Bugger, I knew I'd forgotten something from The Big Shop. Tin foil, that was it. I've got some cling film, some of those ziploc sandwich bags and one of those mesh keep-flies-off thingies, as favoured by the W.I. Think that'll repel ne'er do wells / so-phisti-macated hackerboi?

Cling film might do it or a nice tupperware box.

Oooh, this has been interesting to read :)

Hi Annie - we'll PM you now and see what we can do

Thanks Sarah. I kind of like this name, but I want my original account back, if possible - I've invested 9 years of gin and cake into the original!

She'll be very tasty with the first grouse HoneyD

"Butthurt" is American Reddit talk.

Has the wankstain been properly dealt with yet?

Brilliant clip

Are at calm down Jeffrey

What a palaver!

It's a bit hot in this oven, Honey

It wouldn't work got me last night or this morning.

I'm very sad that I had to go do real life just as things started getting slightly more interesting. Can anyone give me a quick rundown of what I've missed? Poor ds is going to have to have an early night so I can catch up

You're all a big bunch of cunts.

Oh dear. I appear to have been hacked too.

How awful.

tethers nice try

You naughty Hacker!

Making tethers end say that. Bet she's mortified

Tethers

Haha!

Tethers, let's face it, if you weren't calling us a big bunch of cunts, only then would we think you'd been hacked.

Tethers wears Clarkes sandals and waterfall cardigans.

Wasn't me who posted that, tethers.

Bloody hackers.

Seems strange that our limp dick friend has a male follower who's tweets are private.

Do you think he's in disguise? Or have I gone all Enid Blyton?

@tethersend

You're all a big bunch of cunts.

ROAR!
It's really me, RebeccaMumsnet, can we have a code word/phrase/ way to prove i'm me?
