Another thing for the future is getting SSL up and going, as well as moving the server through a service such as Cloudflare.

Services like Cloudflare have mitigations for these types of attacks built-in. Perfect? No but its better than taking on the load of opsec yourself.

Videokarma already serves over TLS/HTTPS, but the webserver is not configured to redirect HTTP -> HTTPS

Good there is no reason to.........

All newer browsers will goto HTTPS automatically......

Im on IE6 and im glad the site doesnt block HTTP,I would have to go thru a proxy to get here otherwise.......there is no reason to on a site like this...

Wow, so great to have these forums back. I was beginning to think this site was lost forever.
Thank you!

We have implemented some things and are looking at upgrading the software to help with this as well as just making the site more current.

The 503 server is busy is the result of some high volume attacks on the site. We are working with our hosting company to block these.

You have to be logged in for those to be visible. If you only log in when writing a post, or don't have the keep me logged in box checked when you log it that could explain it.
