You know that eerie stillness before a storm? That was the server… right before it went full DEFCON-404.
Traffic surged past 3 Gbps within 45 seconds. Bursts hitting 12,000+ HTTP requests per second, spread across 2,100+ unique IPs—all spoofed, all hungry. Layer 7 flood, randomized headers, zero warmup.
We took a few hits. Some of you saw “503” or timeouts. Fair. But behind the scenes: emergency filters deployed, dynamic rate-limiting kicked in, and a little late-night script magic helped us stay upright.
No downtime. No rollback. The forge lives.
Threads are open. waifubots compile.
Whoever you are: You choked on your own script.
