If you are wondering why the site is very slow at the moment or why you get a lot of time-outs, it is because we are under quite a DDOS attack (though its manageable).

Was it a deliberate attack or just heavy useage, or just due to the broken table?

Deliberate attack (to "prove a point").

Its microsoft, trying to shut down all the freelancer sites so that they can KILL the game for good!!
No really i don't know who it is. Great job with the defence, I got a few timeouts and slow loading still, so it might still be on.

We know who it is, we also can guess why he did it. That he's back after this long, however... That, I do not understand why.

It doesnt matter, can we let this thing just rest?
I simply wanted to tell you why the site was slow/ timing out.

well, okay.
its just me cuz i rarely understand human behavior due to a damaged mind constellation and any such information helps me to learn to understand people. maybe youre right and it is safer for us to keep it as quiet as before.

Just FYI: Today we experienced another DDOS attack.
So that may be why you experienced slow load times or complete timeouts.

We are again currently under attack. Since this has become a game of cat-and-mouse expect more outages to happen.
