Is it just me, or is pureZC not loading right now?

The Superlatives have not started yet on PureZC due to it being down for so long. We are moving the schedule back, so we are planning to open nomination voting tomorrow as long as PureZC comes back on today. :)

I guess the datacenter my Linode server is hosted in (New Jersey) must be unaffected by the DDOS attacks; my site has been going strong all along. However, in light of the news, I have launched an rsync backup operation on my Linode just in case.

I wish the PureZC admins the best of luck in re-establishing the site.

Without it, I don't have a lifeline to Saffith and Gleeok to fix my spaghetti-bowl ZScript!

Guess what? IT LOADED! Takes a couple tries though and loads slow; the connection is still probably losing a large number of packets. They do say they are still working on the issue as mentioned at https://linode.statuspage.io/ about an hour ago.

So out of curiosity, why don't either you or PureZC have HTTPS on their forums? That would be a great idea for any password protected website. Since I know now that PureZC is running on a VPS, they should go over to letsencrypt.org for a free certificate and reconfigure their Apache hosts to use HTTPS.
However, things don't look so easy for armageddongames.net as it is using shared hosting.

Yeah I can confirm the website is working albeit slowly.

Explain this C-Dawg, is your script stored on Pure? You could try contacting them through agn through this site if not. They go by the same usernames and Gleeok is here daily just PM him. Saffith not so much anymore.
