MultiUser RolePlay Entertainment and its hosting services would not have lasted as long as it had without the support from everyone including TopMudSites, Mud Magic, Electric Soup and The MudConnector and its patrons for keeping the MU* hosting community alive all these years. Farewell my friends. Farewell. -- Michael |

It is always sad to see to see a long running quality mud or mud resource end. Good luck to you in your next venture Michael.
I wonder if someone is targeting gaming/MUD sites for some reason, had a number of attempted DDOS attacks here ourselves. Thankfully the only one that got anywhere so far was the one massively spamming the review system. Best wishes, Derek. |

Sad news. Good luck to you in the future.
Any interest in maybe passing the project to someone and keeping it alive? |

The main issues were the active numbers of script kiddies that were attacking the site via ssh and ftp attacks [on a daily basis (average around 15k hits a day)] and the amount of spam-like email having Spamassassin and F-Protect to check and clean as well. I was able to block a number of subnets in Asia Pacific and Eastern Europe, but when in-states site were compromised, it pretty much made the overseas subnet blocks redundant. Then after blocking and dealing with all these attacks, the hardware router finally ate itself. After that point, I was getting tired of keeping the hosting business going and trying to run my SMB business site as well. -- M |
