   We will be down for a short time to run an surprise emergency DDoS drill. Please bear with us during the downtime, as it will happen without further notice.

      @administrator #ooc generally, its not ddos, but actually just 'DoS'. I say this because in all likelyhood a hacker is not going to spread a virus in order to DDoS us, but a couple of parasprites will individually DoS us.

         @luna What if it's one hacker, but with a large pre-existing botnet?

            @starshine Then its DDoS. A good rule of thumb, its not DDoS unless you have significantly more DoS-ing computers than hackers. And generally DDoS is only one hacker, 1000's of computers.
