You may have noticed that Scienceblogs.com has been loading slowly lately. Also, in the “back end” …. where we write the blogs and stuff … the servers have been slow, and eventually, useless. Well, the crack technical team that takes care of these things have determined that we were experiencing a Distributed Denial of Service Attack (DDoSA). I have no idea from or for what reason. Anybody out there know?

Meanwhile, the Overlords have asked us to pass on a request for help to you. The IP addresses whence the attacks originate have been blocked. But this means that you may be having problems getting to us. So ….

We’re still working … to get the site 100% accessible again, but in the meantime, we’d like to collect IP addresses from users who are still experiencing problems. Please ask anyone who has brought this problem to your attention to send their IP address to webmaster@scienceblogs.com.
