Why would someone do that? I mean, I know all about internet wars, but why attack FF?

Is anyone else getting an error message that keeps saying "Server Is Busy" every time you post and you have to refresh the page 5-10 times for it to come back? It wasnt doing this before.

Yes, been going on all night. I have also received a few emails and IM's from members who have not been able to get on all night. Appearently, depending where you live, you may not have access to the site or at least enough bandwidth to view it due to this Ddos attack.

FF seems to have there legs around this problem, but i dont expect things to run well for a day or so.

Update: Over the last few days, I am sure most of us have seen that dreadful 'Cant find Server' error. FF said theres still not a timetable on when the whole situation may be fixed, but they did say they feel it will get better each day.
