Blackhatworld.com currently experiencing a dos attack?

Blackhatworld.com has been up and down for about a week because of a suspected Denial of Service attack.

If you havent been to blackhatworld its more of a bum marketing forum.
They sort of do anything to make money and spend a bit of time trying to sell each other ebooks.

Right from the beginning i kept a very tight control of syndk8 and made sure nobody shared cracked or stolen software, talked about email spam or just generally acted like an ass.
There is limited controls for sharing stolen software in Blackhatworld and the only way to try and keep your software out of there is to email the admin and put it on the do not share list.
I am good freinds with the admin dave and we have a mutual respect for each other so i have no problem but some people do get really pissed off.

When we went through a spate of banning assholes Blackhatworld appeared either by coincidence or because they all needed somewhere to go when they we didnt want them.

Blackhatworld runs on Vbulletin which  is pretty much an insecure software because its corporate and the hackers like to mess with the big companys.
I believe smf dosent get too much trouble because most of the hackers boards are run on it and is a pretty secure software if there is such a thing.

Blackhatworld has a pretty loyal but also devient following and if they dont put in any kind of dos mitigation in they stand to lose a lot of members because they will just setup alternative fuckwit boards where they can sell ebooks to each other.
