Scruggs Traffic Overwhelmed the Main Site

March 14th, 2008 @ 12:14 pm - by riddenword · 1 Comment

We’re temporarily reactivating the old site, here at folo.us to share news and discussion

The explosion in internet traffic resulting from word spreading about the Scruggs plea was so great at folo.us that it set off alarms at the server farm in Texas where folo “lives.” The system administrators interpreted the spike as a malicious “distributed denial of service” (DDOS) attack and shut down folo.us to save the server. While they work to get folo online again and traffic balanced, we’re activating this old site at http://folo.us to try to handle news and discussion. We hope that wordpress.com, which spreads traffic over dozens of servers, can handle the load.
