No, we have no reason whatsoever to suspect Anon, the insurgen.cc thread that was posted and spread around various sites was almost two years old and any/all recent updates had been from people saying that such an attack was stupid.
Yea, Anon is a group of "hacktivists" that claim to run things through free association (for more on free association, see "anarchy")
Trav said the DNS shouldn't take more than a day to update globally so everyone should have normal access tomorrow (I still don't have regular access and am using our underground address to gain access until my DNS updates)
Thank you to all you wonderful shroomerites for the warm welcome, I plan on hanging around, mebbe even posting some myc/pin porn as I have a bunch of bulk sub that is finishing colonizing and getting ready to fruit (one tub is already pinning )
much love, Snozz

This is very good news indeed, my only question... if Anon (/b) didn't DDoS the site, then who did, and why? I mean, it seems that it was a pretty powerful attack since it's taken so long to recover. I doubt most individuals would have the resources to successfully launch such an assault.

That's funny, when I first discovered DMT, NOBODY had heard of it. I even have long term deadhead friends who'd never heard of it... As soon as I started doing research however, it started popping up around my small city, mainly in the hands of pill heads who smoked it and scared themselves shitless.
Anyway, do some research and you'll find out what DMT does soon enough.

Well it's good news that Anonymous hasn't given up the fight against censorship. These rumors that said they were behind it was unfortunate. Thanks Snozz for the updates and the tek PDF.
I look forward to joining the Nexus community :-)

-------------------- Did he dream about dragons? Did he dream about deer? Did he whisper he names of friends who were near? What songs did they play, and how far away? Why did he whisper, why did she scream? What does the sound of a screen door mean? Who talks on the hill? Who goes to the cellar, can you feel the chill? Where does the river, when will the wind? How far are the mountains? Where do they end? Why would the church? Did the service begin? Tell me who died, and tell me who cried. Help me hide in the skin of a deer, my zippered-up bag in the mouth of a stag so swiftly I go through rows of does, it flows, it flows, it flows, it flows all over the hill where the green grass grows.

No way a ddos is responsible. It couldn't go on that long. It just can't happen.

Dear DMT-Nexus member,
Thursday April 28th at around 18:00 CET the DMT-Nexus was attacked by a so called DDoS attack. This means that a lot of computers are making lots of requests to overflow the server and making it unavailable to the rest of the internet.
The problem of a DDoS attack is that you don't know who, what or why the attack is taking place. There is also not much you can do to stop it right away but we are working on a permanent solution.
The server itself has not been compromised. On the DMT-Nexus server all IP addresses used for making posts and signing up are quadruple encrypted by an offsite mechanism with different encryption algorithms, the encryption keys and encryption code are not stored on the DMT-Nexus server itself! We have to store the encrypted IP's because we need it to combat trolls. Also there are no internet activity logs of any kind kept on the server. Due to this and the standard SSL connection all posts on the DMT-Nexus are pretty much anonymous. Even if someone snatches the server they cannot do much with the content on it.
Currently we are looking at options to better protect the DMT-Nexus server from future DDoS attacks. One of the actions we will take is the movement of the server to another datacenter where we will have a dedicated high bandwidth line.
I want to thank all people who kept a high spirit during our time underground and for all the other fora out there that welcomed the DMT-Nexus refugees. Looking back at the attack and how it evolved I can clearly state that with the DMT-Nexus members working together we withstood this 'test' quite easily. It also made sure we now have extra backup plans ready in case something would happen to the DMT-Nexus in the future.
Kind regards,
The Traveler
