someone or something seems to be attacking the badgeometry wiki. It happened yesterday around this time. characteristic is that there are too many http connections at one time. I was glancing at the logs this morning and found that all our latest external links were from porn sites. I have no idea what could be causing it, so rather than let it continue and get suspended by my host automatically, I suspended it so that I could start it back up shortly.

If anyone has any idea what to do about this or what could be causing it let me know, either via this post, pm or email.

Also, I have the most recent back-up if we cannot get this problem resolved in the immediate future.

probably some script kiddy who can't grok LSL. You need to contact your host about what to do.

Is there any way to export the info in the wiki into a static file format of some sort? I find the site indispensible and when its down I'm really hampered (I hate the LSL guides regarding scripting)... at least a static version of the information would help... even if it was just the full list of functions with details about each.

I know I saw the answer to this post somewhere else, but when I saw it I was at home.

Do you have an alternate Wiki or is that also under attack, and therefore also down?

[edit] I found my own answer: This is the temporary alternate link

Well, all kinds of fetishes out there. You should see the sites dedicated to dry wall. Creepy. And don't get me started on particle board.
