----------------------------------- apomb Wed Dec 29, 2004 1:47 am Compsci Blackout ----------------------------------- Heya all, im sure you have been wondering what the hell happened to compsci, well,i dont know, but im glad were back up and running, ask dan, he probly knows i say it was taken over bu kazix cuz were too great a forum for them to handle ----------------------------------- Dan Wed Dec 29, 2004 2:12 am ----------------------------------- Lol, well the reasning for this down time is kind of complicated, not even fully shure why my self. The host shut us down b/c we had 62 peoplep on the site at the same time doing some stuff that was sucking the life out of the hosts cpu to the point where it crashed there server. I am not shure why this hapend, i think thos "peopleop" where realy bots from sreach engions tho. I do not think it was an ininteal atack on the site. Still needs some looking in to. ----------------------------------- Andy Wed Dec 29, 2004 8:56 am Re: Compsci Blackout ----------------------------------- i say it was taken over bu kazix cuz were too great a forum for them to handle err what? kazix is hour host... ----------------------------------- Amailer Wed Dec 29, 2004 9:58 am ----------------------------------- So did you switch hosts yet? this isn't the first time -.- anyhow, finally compsci is back! suspension page was getting anoying.

No there is not, i realy have no idea where u are geting that. I work hard to make shure this site complies with the rules of all the agemrents we singed. The only thing we voliated was the 5% rule witch was out of my power to conotrl ----------------------------------- MihaiG Wed Dec 29, 2004 3:56 pm ----------------------------------- im not sure bout this line Usenet SPAMing: KAZIX has a zero tolerance policy for the use of its network for the posting of messages or commercial advertisements, which violate the rules, regulations, FAQ or charter of any newsgroups or mailing list. Commercial messages that are appropriate under the rules of a newsgroup or mailing list or that are solicited by the recipients are permitted. would google ads fall under newsgroups or spam.... that might be a reason http://kazix.com/policies.htm ----------------------------------- Andy Wed Dec 29, 2004 3:59 pm ----------------------------------- wow are you trying to be stupid or are you just brainless.. maybe you just cant speak english? read the frigging thing, the google ads do not violate any rules, regulations, FAQs or charter of any newsgroups or mailing list. ----------------------------------- Dan Wed Dec 29, 2004 3:59 pm ----------------------------------- im not sure bout this line U realy have no idea what u are talking about, this has nothing to do with ads on a site and is about e-mails and flooding other sites and other fourms. U can spam ur own site as much as u whont. ----------------------------------- Tony Thu Dec 30, 2004 11:58 am ----------------------------------- U can spam ur own site as much as u whont. heck, we even have our own spam forum with 13 000+ posts :lol: The problem was the DoS type of a virus/bot attack.
