oh, and 2.5K IP addresses were involved, blocking IPs became ineffectual very quickly.
and no I do not know who did it, nor why. I suspect it's just a booter and that some disgruntled person on one of the forums was so offended by something someone else said that they just did this... the attack wasn't specifically to LFGSS, it hit 3 sites at once and so seemed targeted more at the platform.
it's typically not constructive to try and be a detective and figure out who and why, it's far more constructive to improve the defenses and prevent it happening again... so that's what I've been doing instead.
