Notes: This month saw our first denial of service attack. While it succeeded in putting our site offline for two hours our ISP was quick to take action. Notice the larger number of banned members this month. Several users were part of the botnet causing the problem. I hope this issue doesn't repeat itself, but if it does we should be ready.
