Sep-08-09 - The last week of connection problems ( Sarge )
You've all experienced the ongoing network problems PWT has had the last 7 days.
This is all due to DDos-Attacks on our network. We weren't a target, merely victims.
To prevent this sort of thing from happening again, there will be a Anti-DDos network installed.
We don't know if there's going to be any downtime during this but we ask for your patience if our network fails again. It wouldn't be for too long.
Again, we apologize for the dozens of little downtime's we've had since last week.
Archatos Edit #1: We have a couple of options available to secure stability again for the site. There are major network issues at the server's current location and we're currently looking at how to best solve it to maintain uptime as much as possible.
Archatos Edit #2: I have asked our server host to relocate the server to another location. We will update further once this has been done. As a preparation, if you have ever edited your hosts file (C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts) to include PWT, please remove those lines as they will not work once the server has been moved.
Archatos Edit #3: The relocation of the server is scheduled to happen Tuesday around noon (GMT+8). This will give downtime while the relocation takes place, but the host has promised us a much more stable network experience once done. Thank you all for your patience in this, we will find some way to reward all of our loyal users.
