Leaguegaming Update - Nov 26th 2015

They saying of you never work a day in your life when you do something you love. That is what Leaguegaming has always been to me for over 12 years, Something I love.

However that was challenged two days ago as i'm sure you've all heard as some one out there decided to do a Denial of service attack on LG.

Normally a DoS attack isnt that big deal, but because of the situation of LG it had collateral effects. I've hosting LG on servers on a friendly relationship that it would never effect the businesses that those related servers are on, On Tuesday it did and because of this, I had to find LG a new home if i wanted LG to continue.

I will say early on I was ready to give up on LG. Its been 12 years, i've accomplished a lot, why bother? I won't lie in that I still have part of me in "hanging it up". However the support I've received from you guys on DM, FB Chat, Skype and XBL has very much humbled me, I am realizing that LG is not just about me. I may have a direct role it its future but what I do here, and what the hundreds of volunteers do means something to a log of people. And thats enough fuel to keep me going.

Many have reached out with your services, I've had members who are RCMP contact me about criminal investigations, network and IT professionals asking to help track down those who might be responsible and other professionals who know a thing or two about this. I won't rule out anything in the future, but the first task is just getting LG back up, which we have done now. Later on we'll look at what happened and take appropriate measures.

A special mention goes out to @ImJeff , who is responsible for LG's new home. He works for the hosting company https://www.singlehop.com/ and offered us hosting for LG. Its a very genious offer and i want to thank him for all he's done in the last 24 hours.

Going forward, we will continue doing what we do best, The best online experience for hockey and other sports.

I think everyone for their kind words and offers of support. <3 you guys

@ImJeff sent the DoS so he could be in the spotlight.

Glad to see everything is back. Thank You, Tris.

P.S. Your site still sucks

 

Big thanks to Tris stepping up and coming through for us again. This is just another minor bump in the road for us to overcome as a community. Yes I understand the site speed isn't what it once was. That being said all off our great features are still here. This is nothing without the people and I am glad to be back!

Spread the word, we are back and will continue to do what we do best!!

Thanks for the support during the past few days! Enough a safe an awesome holiday with your families.
