It seems like this place is getting DDOS'ed now, it was put in Vegas for some degree of protection at the expense of poor response times for the EU users and the protection is obviously not working to well, or am I way off target here?
VPSBOARD getting attacked now?

You're partially correct. There was (and still is) a booter hitting the site's IP - it just took me a few minutes to get it properly filtered; hence the slow load times earlier.

No attacks have been mentioned against them since Mr Cyprus.
Our filtering handles just fine and whatever actually passes to our router we add a few extra filters for locally and it's good to go.

Nah, it's the PHP that can't keep up now. The community went from small to OSHIT in a couple of hours <_<
It's being looked into now.
Had to bust out an old monitoring tool we got rid of a while back to help clean things up some. Bit bumpy but I have CN also tuning.

Maybe it would be worth considering adding a POP in Europe to help distribute the load and provide better speed for Europe users?
That's Curtis' choice, I have no say in the matter
LE* was behind cloudflare.
Given how annoying this flood is it's possible cloudflare will wack him for $200/m.

http://www.lowendhelp.com/forums/ can take a beating if needed, just saying in case this forum goes and gets attacked a ton and we want a place to communicate
It has been up and down all day, I assume it would have been worse without your filtering (This is the 3rd time I am trying to post this) Hope you catch the nasty B*********ds
Yes, we're going to investigate additional options on keeping vpsBoard online with minimal interruption. Fran and BuyVM are doing a great job and going above and beyond for an unmanaged service, however there will be a mirror setup later today for failover and some other neat things in store too.
