LJ fail, again

[emperor]

Anyone know what's up with LJ? The status page is hardly enlightening, and after it being down for nearly all of yesterday, I can read entries now, but can't post entries or comments (I just get blank returns from the update pages, no matter how often I hit refresh).

It's getting very annoying :(

What I've heard is that it's a denial-of-service attack, like the one that happened back in April.

I'm still not getting anything. :(

I couldn't get in at all yesterday after about 8pm. Today I tried deleting all my LJ cookies, and now I have the same as you, I can read but not comment.

I'm just hitting a blank wall of LJ denial. Damn them all. I wish they'd actually use the twitter account and whatnot to give periodic updates.

... Bloody hell, I didn't expect that one to post. I can't seemingly post comments on my own journal right now ...

I've heard that their upstream had backhoe issues, or something along those lines. But I forget where I heard this, so take with salt.

I've just seen from a reliable source (denise on IRC) that it's another DDoS. No details beyond that.

I just posted; they seem to have inserted a fresh hamster.
