Massive attacks
In the last few days the euIRC was affected by several netsplits. Those were initiated by various DDoS attacks, especially the irc.ffm.de.euirc.net server was affected by massive attacks since friday.
Because of attacks on the central server, the rest of the linked servers split and a chain reaction was the consequence.
A constant check is kept on and now the net is quite stable. We want to apologize for the troubles of the last days.
It's hard to do something against such hard attacks, but we're investigating the incidents and try to install some mechanism to prevent future occurrences like that.
We hope to find understanding from you for these troubles and hope you enjoy euIRC further on.
