Hey Chris and all
This is a terrible news. Deep state again made DDOS attack against AU forum. 11hours i couldn't get access.
My suggestions:
1. Make complete backup of forum at DVD, or Blue Ray disks.
2. Be rady to move your site into DeepWeb.
3. Download Tor Browser and learn how to tune it and use it !
ps: Chris if you need i can give you full admin rights of my old abandoned site at RuNET. If you decide to move forum there contact me. I think the best variant is massive exodus into DeepWeb. Tor browser bundle is available for PC and Android.
