Why is Out-Outhouse been attack again?

[james007]

Why do people do this. I went to check out Sim-Outhouse and see what going down there only to find out they have bee attacked again by some kind of worm. At least thats what it said in my screen.

James... the simouthouse recently switched servers, to get away from those attacks, over the weekend they moved all the files from the old server, to the new, give them a few days to perfect everything.

[james007]

I know they where changing the server but when I went there this morning a message showed up saying they have been attacked by a worm.

I hate when people do this kind of things to benign people and institutions.

There is no useful purpose or enjoyment

everything seems to be up and running again... all except for uploading...  :'(

They were constantly fighting off DOS attacks.

New server is suppose to correct this problem.

From what I understand, no one will be able to upload anything UNLESS they are a registered user.

Thought that was how it was before? Dunno

Hope it all gets worked out though, it's another nice site I visit frequently.

I'm registered to upload... but the message I see says wait until tuesday.. well, it is tuesday.. so I'll wait 'til wedenesday... I plan on uploading some alternate DP's of some FDGV2  planes... keep an eye out for 'em  ;)

I used to visit SimOuthouse every day. The people who do the add-ons to CFS2 there are very talented and produce beautiful work that adds to the CFS2 experience.
However, SimOuthouse membership is strictly regulated and the work of these people is limited to a select few. If they are having so much trouble with "worms" and DOS problems, perhaps they might look at what many corporations and businesses do to prevent these problems.
I still am a CFS2 enthusiast, but my CFS2 experience is limited to what is currently on my hard drive. I check in here at Simviation from time to time, that's about it.

I am a member of simouthouse since years and have never heard of anything like that.
Registering is required only to participate in the forums, and it is not restricted, it is just to know who you are talking to.
A special registration is also required to upload, for obvious reasons.
I have uploaded an add-on there and sincerely wish anybody can access it without restrictions. The Simouthouse community is certainly a wide open one.

Guy-I recognize you from my time at the Outhouse. My problem was related to some Donationware planes that I purchased but did not recieve. When I told the Outhouse management I felt that was not the best way to treat members donating money, I was banned.
Like I said, I have the utmost respect for the people there who produce great work for CFS2 enthusiasts, I don't have much good to say about Ickie, so I'll leave it at that.
