Funny thing about a DDoS attack, it overwhelms the network preventing access, it doesn't affect the content of the server. Wonder what caused all the missing content? Hmmmmmm

DDoS is sending a retarded amount of data to someones IP..


so someone sent an incredible amount of data (bombarded more like it ..to last 4 days) to RIU server..and booted the website offline. (If thats what actually happened)

It's a distributed denial of service. So you bombard the server(s) from multiple IPs. Usually a botnet. A good front line distribution server can stop them and essentially that is what cloud flare purports to be.

The loss of content is inexplicable.

It was all my fault, I was trying to send @Gary Goodson a dick pic but the file was too large. Must've crashed the site.:hump:

A website does not go offline during a DDoS attack unless someone pulls the network cable or turns off the power. The RIU server was disconnected from the internet. Their facebook page stated it was a hardware failure, which would explain the server being turned off AND pictures missing. I don't know why someone decided to say it was a DDoS attack when it was obvious it wasn't. Their hosting service would have been able to stop a DDoS attack within hours, and the website would have only been slowed down to a crawl, not offline. Something smells very Trumpy with the facts. :/

Sometimes we don't have to tell you guys everything
Yes it was offline much longer than it should've been there's a reason for that which doesn't need to be stated on open forum
