Site attack

from time to time you do see bots at the bottom where says whose on line are those the forum bots

The site was attacked again today. The main target seemed to be the forum, but measures were quickly put in place to mitigate the attack, but you may have seen an outage here this morning. All other elements of Bet Angel functioned as normal.

I don't see what's there to gain by doing this

Has to be a personal grudge or something like an extremely disgruntled customer

It was a botnet DDOS attack, but I've not a clue why this keeps happening to us. Especially as we can now mitigate them. Waste of time and money for somebody to do it and it's not as though anything important or personal is stored on the site. That's why we use third party providers a few steps back to store anything personal.
