That's surprising, I thought you would have been considering cloud hosting by now, what with how things have gone. Still, do your best. Hope it goes smoothly.

Actually, you're right - Steam saw massive, MASSIVE traffic this year for the summer sale. Just returning from another 5.5Million user logged in peak today, not even counting noname visits to the store page. Every year they prepare; every year it's the same story. It's enough to see even Steam's servers bite it with every shuffle of the daily sales/community choice. And Skyrim did go on sale, too. God knows Nexus' servers are going to be having enough trouble as it is keeping up with the flood of degenerates looking to install nude mods. Come to think of it... new vegas went on daily yesterday for less than $5 with all the DLC, and he said the new vegas nexus was the one that was being DoSsed. From what I can see, the 'attack' also started yesterday. ...why the hell would someone DoS a single section of the nexus, and not the entire site? Doesn't make sense. Someone should probably remind him that a legit DoS looks very different to a bunch of different pages just being loaded. I've yet to see anyone successfully employ a tool such as wget to deny service without massive community support (Eric Bauman, anyone?). Perhaps employing a dedicated sysadmin would be a good move? If he doesn't already have one? But hey, this is all just conjecture, and if he already knows all this crap and has identified it as a legit synflood, then I'll just stfu and go back to f5ing until these damn pages load so I can mod my Skyrim. tl;dr holy s#*! I'm bored enough to type out a damn epistle
