Awesome yeah it was up and down for a while there, although I was away from my rig so couldn't really do much about it!

Problem is, what will be done to ensure these issues don't pop up again in a few days time? I know pools aren't immune to these problems, but would be great to know what can be done to protect the pool from further ddos attacks. Must be difficult for pool operators to stay on top of these challenges and issues, but I think they did well with keeping the community in the loop with what they were doing.
