To try to explain things to the best of my ability. While avoiding any technical terms and to keep this short and not one of my typical long winded rants.

I have no idea what happened, This is the first time I have been able to post since last night.

It seams the latest set of "Up Grades" have no only taken LI to the leading edge of technology,
but also the bleeding edge.

I hate DOS attacks. Many Muslim sites get those. My friend runs a very popular Afghan site and it is always being attacked. He's even had hosts tell him outright take your business elsewhere. However, he has taken some smart measures to keep the site always up and running.

If you are being attacked, it must be that you are popular. :coolious:

Inshallah you stay up and the haters lose.

alhumdulillah we backing up every day, weekly and monthly so we only lost around couple of hrs

i think it went down yday 3pm GMT time MYSQL crashed..then only 10mins Before iftaari time around 6:50 the entire post table crashed....luckily alhumdulillah the technicans are based in US of A so they managed to restore it back up again and was up adn running bout around 8pm!

Crashes are likley like this since people obviously dont like us but hope it wont be as bad as losing data

but like i said the sites are monitored 24X7 anythign goes down im notified as well as our techies..and we are 10000&#37; commited and dedicated to keep this site runnign smoothly...its a headache and pain when things goes down..but hey part of the job

I am glad to hear that. We Muslims need a place like this. Unfortunately, too many other places are infested with Islam haters.
