Someone told me the ugc websites are down again due to a ddos attack. Also this was posted in a steam group I am in: "Head admins have estimated the website will be up on Monday in the US, which is Tuesday in this region. Please report your match scores as early as you can on Tuesday.

Matches tonight will be played as usual. Leaders are expected to do any further communications over Steam chat while Match Comms is inaccessible."

And for fuck sake why does this keep happening

I don't care about HL either anymore, but it's still pretty stupid how people can still be bothered to attack any kind of league sites at this time and age when most of us want to raise the awareness of TF2 as a competitive game in general more than ever.

Cloudflare isn't free. I'm assuming as a non-profit organization, UGC doesn't have 200$/month plan which provides you with advanced DDoS protection.

And Cloudflare didn't help TFTV yesterday.

There is actually a free cloudflare version. But you are right that may not work correctly for their needs.

That being said UGC is working on ways to get this fixed and up as soon as possible.

We have Cloudflare. Our hosting costs are more than double what they used to be back before we had a VPS and Cloudflare. This DDOS took down our host's Data Center and so they put us on a 24 hour lockout. Site should be back around 9pm EST tonight.

You were forum banned because you're a garbage posting shit head....not because you asked a question.

But to answer your question, no we don't. :)

funny how the only two instances of me being a "garbage posting shit head" that got me banned were in situations where I was criticizing fornaught

old man can't stand to get his feelings hurt???

p.s. I have spent years upon years arguing for positive changes in ugc and have been shut down countless times, it's hard not to resort to trolling after all this time and no progress whatsoever
