Feb 20, 2020 - Outage

[Dragoneer]

Fur Affinity has been the target of a massive DDOS this morning. Our host has contacted us that they are working on suspending traffic to FA temporarily in an attempt to mitigate the DDOS.

The DDOS is so large that over 100+ other sites are being impacted by the event. We continue to monitor.

Our host has confirmed things are back to normal, and FA should be online within an hour (estimate). While the site is offline we are taking the opportunity to run some updates which would have resulted in future scheduled maintenance. Once the updates are done the site will be online.

We will update this thread and post a status update on Twitter (www.twitter.com/furaffinity) when the site is online.

Site is online, but performance is incredibly slow -- we are looking into it.

We have put the site back into offline mode while we investigate the source of the slowdowns.

We're still experiencing stability issues at this time due to massive requests coming in. We're working on making changes to the system to compensate.
