Omnimaga has experienced unscheduled downtime from approximately 10:40 PM yesterday to 2:45 PM today. It was caused by a direct denial of service (DDoS) attack on his VPS by hundreds of IP addresses. Although we have no clue about who and where this attack originated from, Omnimaga should hopefully be functional again now, aside from timezone issues.

UPDATE (April 12th 2012) To clarify on the other downtime that happened the day after this got fixed, it was yet another DDoS attack.

So that's why Netham wasn't responding.
I wonder who did it and why.

Well netham45 not responding was possibly due to him being out of town. I doubt the DDoS attack had any impact on his ability to get online, since he was most likely connecting from a different IP. Hadn't he been able to get online for a bit just now, however, we would probably have remained unavailable for even longer.

As for who did it, it could possibly be somebody who dislikes Omni and wanted to disrupt its activity/visits flow, or maybe it is related to a recent IRC ban/gline (since a few days ago scripts were tested again on Juju's server, causing downtimes)...

And yeah timezones are messed up on the server side. All posts until downtime started are fine, but today's posts are 6 hours ahead...

I doubt it, otherwise Cemetech would be affected too. And it could very well be a Youtube troll that absolutely hates calculator gaming and are totally against it that could have launched an attack or something anyway. It's best to not jump to conclusions about who might have done it, since there are so many possibilities, including someone with too much free time on his hand finding a random site to test scripts.

Because all posts from today are dated from 6 hours ahead (old posts are fine, though). Basically in 1.5 hour it switches to tomorrow in board stats.

My first reaction was to go check netham45.org, in case it was just DNS issues, and ask Eeems if he knew if Netham45 had returned and was doing server stuff. However I was a bit worried when I read that Netham45 did not answer back (since he was in vacation).

Spoiler for IMPORTANT NEWS!:
Late last night, Quebec was invaded by a group calling themselves, "Omnimaga". Not much is known about these mysterious people except that they all carried calculators of some kind and they all seemed to converge on one house in particular. Experts estimate that the combined power of their fabled calculators is greater than all the worlds super computers put together. The group seems to be holding out in the home of a certain DJ_O, who the Omnimagians claim to be their founder. Such power has put the world at a standstill with everyone waiting to see what the Omnimagians will do...

Wait... This just in, the Omnimagians have sent the UN a list of demands that must be met or else the world will be "submitted to the wrath of Netham45's Lobster Army". Such demands include >9001 crates of peanuts, sacrificial blue lobsters, and a wide assortment of cherry flavored items. With such computing power stored in the hands of such people, we can only hope these demands are met.

In the wake of these events, we can only ask, Why? Why do these people make these demands, what caused them to gather, and what are their future plans...
