When I couldn't log back in, I didn't know what was going on and I really needed to get back on because I had an event at the Gathering Oak that I needed to get to. I had got on and got pole dancer Lilly Mouse on shortly before the event was to start with Becky Shamen showing up, but I was disconnected again along with Lilly Mouse and got Facebook IMs from Becky Shamen that she couldn't get back on either.<br /><br />We thought that the Gathering Oak event was screwed at this point, but at around 10PM (EST), I managed to get back on SL and got Becky Shaman along with at least half my club attendees able to show up minus one dragon dj. The event was barely able to continue at that point with a small club as someone had gotten the music stream going, and I was able to stay on SL with pole dancer Lilly Mouse for the rest of the night.<br /><br />During that time, I was finding out there are rumors of a DDoS attack going on from what I was getting from other groups I'm a member up. There was also this message that was posted in one of the groups I'm in that I managed to send out as a notice to the Sunweavers Group and my own group.<br /><br />Sent by: Miro Collas<br />Login Issues Round 4<br />See https://status.secondlifegrid.net/incidents/vkb5crh5dbl3 and http://etitsup.com/slstats/ <br />Clearly there are serious issues with SL and/or the 'net backbone. These are NOT related to FS.<br />Please avoid making purchases or rezzing no-copy items.<br />FS servers are also down, due to getting overloaded (the viewer pulls the splash page from our servers).<br /><br />The following morning around 10PM (EST), I found that I was disconnected again and couldn't get back on. For a while during that time, I was monitoring a thread in the Second Life Community forums as well as logging into another known grid, InWorldz, and going to its visitor entry and welcome point, the InWorldz Desert Island, to see what refugees from Second Life might be showing up instead and if any mention of Second Life's connection issues come up there by anyone to try to figure out what is going on being that it has now the second day this is going on.<br /><br />Even though I use InWorldz for emergencies and another place to hangout since I know some people over there, as well as for really private meetings with Becky Shamen regarding Keiki related stuff, I did not get much valuable information there and later found out from an official LL Blog post that it was an "Unscheduled DDoS Attack" with the rumors being true according to one April Lindon.Erik Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11826955158766906203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050813142440628460.post-60946272832898798092018-02-28T05:12:53.555-05:002018-02-28T05:12:53.555-05:00My experience from the UK was little better until ...My experience from the UK was little better until yesterday evening by which time April's blog post had been made. The FS blog server was swamped by FS users trying to log on (the viewer uses the server to generate the startup splash). All seemed back to normal by our evening.Ayeshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830777797044955544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050813142440628460.post-11520550623000497162018-02-28T01:29:28.412-05:002018-02-28T01:29:28.412-05:00my internet went out, area wide just seconds after...my internet went out, area wide just seconds after i crashed in sl yesterday.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986512484164381390noreply@blogger.com
