Just small information for curious minds ;) gp32x.de came under DDOS attack. The attack continues but our hosting provider is doing what it can to mitigate its effects.
The good news is that the site board is back. Fingers crossed that this is an end to the matter, although I was warned that the attack may increase in severity again at any time but my server admins are working hard to not let it happen again.

ed thinks pspupdats.com is behind this, as they already did the same thing to the psp homebrew scene.

weird :huh: , why would they do this?

Because they're a bunch of petulant children? I don't know anything about them, but if they're doing this sort of thing it seems to be a fairly logical conclusion.

Ah, they wish to make a gp2xupdates site, to make money, and ED, with foresight, has allready registered gp2xupdates.com... Apparently they are not particularly liked in the PSP-scene. For a reason, I think.

Is there a comprehensive record of their actions so far, wrt PSP-HB-scene?

That is pretty damn crappy... whoever it was then I hope they get caught... I'm assuming this is a criminal offense, like cracking, or releasing a virus (if perhaps less severe)?

I'm pretty damn pissed off over the fact that someone would try to flood the servers of this site for whatever reason... ESPECIALLY if it is for the reason stated (that they want to get this site and community down so they have the scene to themselves). If it's just a random attack by some lamer "1337k1d" then that's just bad luck, but an organised attack with a clear purpose like that is just pretty damn disgusting.

RARGH! I MAD! SMASH! BASH! ARRR!
 
Well, to tell the truth, we can assume that it was caused by "you know who" ;) but I can't officially blame anybody for doing this because so far we have only proxies and some personal (probably infected) ips what lead us to nothing.
