:hitwithbat: Well zios wrong, slurth is wrong and alex is wrong.... :angry:

3000 megaBITS = 2.95 gigaBITS

8 BITS in 1 BYTE

mbps = megaBITS/s

gbps = gigaBITS/s

MBps would be Megabytes per second.

GBps would be Gigabyes per second.
Please point to where I am wrong.

And your math is wrong.

It's 2.9296875 Gb.
Ok, Lets look at this...

We know... We are working on getting all the servers back up. We'll let you know of any updates as they arise!

Edit: As the notification on the main page says, we got hit with a massive DDoS attack and the data center null routed our IP. Due to the size of the attack (~3000Mbps) they won't be able to take the null route off until later tonight.

Now, lets look a little closer...

Gosh darn DDoS Attacks!
Ah well I'll spend this downtime posting unfunny memes on the forum D:
o.O does ' ~ ' symbol mean estimated in math?
I hope whomever keeps doing these attacks get discovered and arrest. You've gotta be a pretty huge <swear word for anus> to want to repeatedly take something away from so many people that they enjoy doing just because you're all pissy for some stupid reason.

The fact that they've done this 3-4 times now shows how truly pathetic they are, and I hope karma gets them very soon.
Is it actually a fact that it was a DDoS, or are you guys just jumping to conclusions?
Well i assume that swine has looked at the server logs and has seen the attacks I'm not fluent in how minecraft ddos works but when my sites go down for ddos its easy to tell why... I use apache so i just throw on /serverstatus and i can see if i have 100's of visitors at once then its a ddos from a low orbit ion cannon if i have 100's of 1/2 completed requests I'm dealing with a pro who wants to really mess up the system.
