Apparently, there was a DDoS attack on it for two days. It wasn’t a very large one, and it doesn’t seem like anyone was trying to sign up or log in, but around the clock, there were 8 to 10 times as many visitors as usual. These “visitors” all had completely different IP addresses, so I couldn’t simply block certain IP ranges.
I then decided to put the forum into maintenance mode for almost a day, hoping that would put an end to these fake visits. But I apparently did something wrong in the process.
There are apparently two ways to set maintenance mode, and I must have chosen the wrong one. In any case, the forum is now completely inaccessible via the internet. A page loading error and a “500 Internal Server Error” are displayed.
I can log into the database through my host. There, I simply restored/imported the latest backup, which I had made two days ago, hoping that the forum would be back online afterward.
