We do apologize for the downtime. But we wanted to get some security measures in place before opening the site back up. CGI will have a thread up once he gets online. We were able to revert to a backup that was from 2-3 hours before the attack and Jlauro and Bandorr have been putting some extra security in after the site was restored.

Has the problem itself been fixed?

Glad to have you back and I hope this is all over for good.  Malicious actors ruining things for everyone for seemingly no reason is frustrating and no one should have to deal with that.

This has been very frustrating and stressful for me. I am happy to have it back up.

Sadly, yes. I was asleep and by the time I got up the worst of it was taken care of. So I don't know how bad it was. Someone really has something out against the site. 

Just to reiterate what I said in an earlier post in here.

We are back boys!

So, I have no idea what Xbox was thinking raising their game prices to $70 while these regulator investigations are ongoing. Their lower price was leverage in these investigations, Sony was trying to claim that Xbox would use their increased market position from the acquisition to jack up their prices above all of the competition, but because Xbox was cheaper than PS, all Xbox had to say to the regulators was "if we ever do raise our prices in the future, it would only be to match the prices of Playstation, who already jacked up their prices because they felt they could afford to due to their strong market position".

So far it is looking like my boy Sonic is going to win the player's choice award, it has a pretty substantial lead over 2nd place Genshin Impact. Genhin will gain some overnight as China and the rest of Asia are awake now, but Sonic should come back strong tomorrow I suspect.
