Initially I thought about that too. But I noticed the following points:
- The sequence is always the same, 30~40 minutes, I experience spikes in requests for about 20 minutes. It would take many forum users to be using this pattern.
- In the last half hour, for several minutes it received +2M requests. Do you think there were 20k users viewing the pumpkins page at the same time?
- In that half hour, a single IP made more than 600k requests. Does this mean that there were 6k forum users, using the same service and doing exactly the same thing?
- Outside of these peaks, requests hover around 1k or less. Users should flee the forum.
Interestingly, it only affects access to the website, that is, if you go directly to the website you feel this instability, but even during these peaks you can continue to see the pumpkins normally.
I really find this behavior very strange. I've kind of lost trust in the host I'm using, unfortunately. In these types of things, we have to feel confident, to be comfortable. Therefore, I am already studying the change of host. It may not be better, but it certainly won't be worse.

it's quite clear that some prick is targeting you specifically with this DDoS attack. what i don't understand is, what does he have to gain from this?
and it's still going on right now, i can't connect to the website at all
