Nika Talaj Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 So at 6:08 SLT I login to the site, figure I can fish for a Bellisseria home for 15 minutes. At about 6:20 the site crashes, logins disabled. I next checked at 6:40 and it was up, and now I see it's still up. Did we crash it? LOL! If so, perhaps we can expect a new Bellisseria land process soon! I know several of you are very protective of this process, perhaps as part of being generally supportive of things the Lindens do. Don't get me wrong, I think LL is doing a fantastic thing by putting in the effort to create a really beautiful and fun community. It has lured me to make an avatar Premium for the first time since 2005. But I also hope they come around to seeing that making available a land subscription list of some kind will be in their best interest. Not only does using the land menu in this never-seen-before land scarcity situation waste people's time on a grand scale, but more importantly it also invites extensive use of tools like auto-refresh and (say it softly) key loggers, both of which are just not healthy things to invite onto your company's website. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessycaJayne Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 It wasn't a DDOS attack it was just regular weekly maintenance. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could have just been related to the maintenance they were doing this morning. This one mentions getting logged off and could have applied to the website as well as inworld: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friend owns company, told staff - no personal social media while on the clock, uses a monitor program- could see the FB pages fly by and with the camera - who was doing it. Fired.

Our company simply blocks the websites that they don't want you to get to - Facebook, pretty much any imaging site, etc... Lucky for me, these forums don't fall into that category.

My place used to be like that, but fortunately they've discovered that happy employees are better employees and retention is a priority... they don't care what we do as long as we do our work and do it well. I mean, they don't give us massages like they do at LL, but it's a nonprofit. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nika Talaj Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 And, over time, apparently the answer is YES, we eventually became a little DDOS. Oopsie! Here's hoping the new refresh limit calms the Belli frenzy a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
