irc.winbolo.us was down for the largest part of November 12th. This outage was the result of several DoS (Denial of Service) attacks on the computer that hosts irc.winbolo.us

This is the prime cause in most of the outages irc.winbolo.us has been experiencing. If you fail to connect to irc.winbolo.us I would recommend you try irc2.winbolo.us

I will soon create a mIRC servers.ini file with the servers that you can use to connect to .us and an html listing of the servers with irc:// links.

I thank you for your continued patients while we try to resolve these issues.

As of the time of this post irc.winbolo.us is up.

Who would want to bring down LRL's server? I honestly think all the grudges here are just of the avoidance type, not the "I'ma go out and blow your shit up" kind.

Oh, are you sure he didn't join a winbolo game with that machine? 'Coz that happened once before, you know.

could he not figure out how to use winbolo.net phpbb forum himself?

I have already read this post, but thanks for re-posting it fi....

LRL's IRC server is hosted by a shell provider and companies like this are frequent targets of DOS attacks.

Honestly MaddMaxx, why do you even speak? Keep your ignorant mouth shut.

I've seen 'dos attack' referenced in several posts and topics.

WHAT IS a dos attack? I don't wanna be a hacker, but just curious.
