I think I killed the server
« on: July 16, 2013 11:19 am CDT »
When I was testing out some scripts I wrote using an alt, I found after disconnecting and reconnecting about 5 times over the course of a few minutes caused the server to become unresponsive. I thought maybe I had activated some security measure that blocks my IP for a short about of time, and it has happened twice now. To be sure, I had a friend of mine (who does not live anywhere geographically close to me) ping the server's IP address to see if he could get anything, but he got no response. That suggests that it wasn't just me; rather the server itself went down.

I'll stop joining/disconnecting to test my scripts, but just for Particle's or Arf's or anyone else's information, this might be something that needs fixing so it doesn't get exploited by a griefer.

...or maybe not. Looks like I just tripped the connection spam safeguard. But then why would an outside person whose IP address isn't blocked not be able to ping the server?
