Havent been able to access mybb.com for about 90 minutes :s

Just kept getting a "Too many connections" error. Seems to only be the database that was affected though, as the site loaded but the database failed :s

This user has been denied support. This user has been denied support.
Many users connected probably. Might be a small DDoS, I don't think so, though.

I received Resource temporarily unavailable, which I found very strange. I guess it caused accept() to fail with eagain.

Someone should put these kids in school.

That would be an irrational law, however there is something like it (having consequences for committing to a DDoS attack)

Its possible that your site faced DDoS but it can be for something else for example maybe your site had a lot of visitors in this period and you saw this error because usually websites which have a lot of visitors attack. Even sometimes new websites have a lot of traffic suddenly. Are you using shared or dedicated server?

MyBB.com is ran on multiple servers IIRC. We never have more than ~600 visitors at a time.

Plus this is likely due to MyBB being attacked before.
