Our server was definitely the target. Yes, there are other sites on the server, but they are all either owned by myself or close friends. So unless someone was attacking one of those (unlikely), the attacker was probably trying to knock atheistforums.org offline.

Couldn't win in an argument against us so they result to attacks...., now that is really fucking immature.
Can't beat us intellectually, so they result to cyber attacks.

What a bunch of

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

Not even like that achieved anything either. I didn't even know that it happened.

Bravo whoever it was, you spent a whole lot of effort achieving practically fuck all.

I traced it to a Christian school. They blamed someone spoofing their IP. I suspect it was one of their students. I don't really have time to do anything legal about it, since it didn't really affect us.

I could, but that would be illegal. I only use my powers for good (and my salary).

Why do these people attack us, if god really hates us, let him use thunderbolts or something like that.... cyber attacks are just soooo human! Smile
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups

DOS? If you want to crash a site at least use DDOS.

A DDoS is a type of DoS. I don't have access to the raw logs, so it could have easily been a DDoS.

well isnt DDOS more "stronger" because it uses multiple computers,also it is harder to block because UDP's are send from multiple ip adders.
