“…i said i think it was brought up awhile back, but i couldnt find it when i tried to search back through…”
For those who cannot find old post in excess of two months, or those who are unfamiliar with the operations of this board, there was a notice to top of this board for a while explaining that posts, which were in excess of two months, would be archived.
We have experienced several ‘denial of service attacks’. Normally we left all post except the few that flagrantly disregarded the board’s ‘term of use’ available to all. However, this extended archive service was abused by some persons who exploited a little knowledge of ‘denial of service attacks’ to disable the server hosting this board.
After lengthy investigations and consultations with the company that hosts our servers, we decided that it was best to keep the quantity of post on the board to a sum that does not leave us too vulnerable to these types of attacks.
