Unfortunately, the service which allows us to e-mail all affiliates has also been affected by this attack.

Downtime compensation will be provided.

Must be either a super sophisticated DDOS. or a really shitty hosting setup.
 
The same thing happened when copeac was down last year, and when millnic was down, and I remember posting about it back then that the networks should make a backup copy of the affiliate emails every week or so and use aweber or something like that.

oh well not a big deal, but if you're going to do something, I think you should put the effort into doing it well.
 
Thank god! I appreciate Steve keeping us up to date. By the way, I have been a lurker here for at least a year, and I thought I would register tonight so I could thank MaxSteve for the updates.

WAR WAS BEGINNING

Thought I'd give you guys an update. I just sent this out to our affiliates:

On January 31, 2010 at approximately 7:30pm EST, MaxBounty was hit with a denial of service attack. This attack caused our servers to become unresponsive for a period of about 5 hours while we worked with our server management company to address the attack and negate the effects. We were back online at approximately 12:30am EST this morning.

We realize that many affiliates are paying for the traffic they send to our campaigns and firmly believe that they should not suffer financially due to our downtime. As a result, any affiliate that was sending traffic during the 48 hours prior to the downtime will be compensated based on their earnings during that period. This compensation was added to your account with an effective date of January 31st, so that it will be part of your February payment.

I also have to give thanks for the images and humor. The moments of levity were welcome in what was a rather stressful evening. :)

If you have any further questions about the downtime or your compensation, please speak to your AM or feel free to contact me.
