Several sims have been frequently under attack from an outside program easily available to the public. I will not list what program here, to prevent others from being able to find it and use it, but the point is that it takes an IP address and port range and fires off thousands of HTML requests, enough to flood and lag the server to the point that no one can move. There does not need to be an avatar on sim for the attacks to occur. Is something being done to patch this exploit? I know of paying sim owners ready to abandon their land due to these blatant DDOS attacks.

We're also suffering from DDoS attacks on our sim as well. Overflooding with HTML requests to crash/overload the server? Can anything be done?

"ETAx2: Okay now im going to stir something. Your BF sells nothing but copyrighted goods. Doesn't appear to be ripped from the game because the quality level is so low. No wonder you think making things is easy when that level is what you're used to. I'm glad he doesn't rip any of it, but selling copyrighted goods is not O.K. In my book **Only uploaded images may be used in postings**://secondlife.i.lithium.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-indifferent.gif" border="0" alt=":smileyindifferent:" title="Smiley Indifferent" />" Look, if your intent is to stir the pot, you're stirring one bigger than you have a stick for, as 80% of SL is copyrighted material. Yes, the difference is the fact that I make it from scratch. As for quality, criticism is welcome. Blatant insult is not. The audience I developed it for is perfectly happy with it, and I refuse to charge an arm and a leg for mesh work, simply because I have a full time job. The ONLY WAY I can justify making SL my life altogether for this business is if I had an actual business model, with a firm, and a license, and not out of my home. I still put the time in, and so it wasn't for you. Big deal. Don't make a flame war out of someone asking for help, and go digging where you obviously don't want to go. I've got the dress made in blender, I'm collaborating with a friend, and I'll make sure she has pics to post. Long story short, don't stir a pot you don't have the right tools for. The content I created, I've contacted the owners about, and their take on it is a gray area. They can't say they support it, but they can't say they don't either. It's not a focus they pursued on this front, as we've contacted them many times, on many different occasions. I won't post again after this, so interpret it as you will. If this thread becomes a flame war, your comment is the match, and my post is the end word in my defense. I refuse to be cut down by anyone in this forsaken game after the seven years I've been playing, and I refuse to be cut down to size in a hobby I still enjoy doing FOR FUN. Take your comments to some other struggling artist who actually makes this work their life.

An individual player named ******** has threatened multiple times to report my sim and a fellow sim owner on the grounds that he received no refund for housing he rented, after being banned for breaking the area's code of conduct and attempting to overthrow the sim owners without any form of consent, while disrespecting and harrassing the sim's owners and staff. According to fellow players who will also testify, I have reports of this avatar/user doing the same to other sims as well and I wish to ensure no contact whatsoever or no impact from this person at all, if possible. Is there anyone I can speak to about this problem? I pay entirely too much for these services to be upset by one individual threatening to take it away.   Please, do not use specific  names while talking about your problem. Joanna Moderator.
