It will return...Have patience and ask for a fresh nappy. |
"For the record. As of this message Chatango's server just reset, and is back up, but the connection is still slow.
Chatango is not down due to financial problems or bad management or whatnot. It is down due to a DDoS attack from 4chan. What this means in lamen's terms is that the attacker hacked bots into the site and used them to overload/disrupt chatango's server, causing it to crash. If the site were to be restarted now, then the DDoS will simply crash it again, as seen when it came back up for some minutes mentioned in a recent comment.
The site will return to full speed when the attackers and spam have been removed, or when the site installs a better firewall and/or better defense towards illegitimate users. Chatango's owner is not an idiot, and is likely already working on it, and they have been notified of which IP's are behind the attack. So be patient and give them time to secure the site."

ReplyDeleteOur apologies
Chatango.com is temporarily down due to a DDOS attack. The magnitude of this attack has been unprecedented in the history of Chatango and we are doing all we can to mitigate it. We are working with our internet service providers, DDOS mitigation services and the FBI.
I tried installing chatbutton yesterday but they cant handle the new traffic due to chatango clients looking for a free temporary replacement. as of today, they are down too lol:
ReplyDeleteLatest ChatButton Updates
Dec 13th 2014: Site is OFFLINE (hopefully temporarily). I have seen a swell of activity on ChatButton that is overloading the network, which also serves other sites that generate revenue. ChatButton does not generate revenue for me, so unfortunately it will have to take a backseat until I have time to fix it. I apologize! If you want to buy the site and take it over, please contact me at the email above. Currently receiving over 25,000 uniques/day.
