Tis the Season for Oscars, Love, And DDoS

http://static.passthepopcorn.me/static/oscarpool.png


It's that time of year again -- Oscar time! Swing by the Academy Award / Oscar Betting Pool 2016 and try your luck for some serious prizes (over 95,000,000 bpand counting)!

There's snow on the ground, love is in the air (*psst* it's valentine's day Sunday, don't forget to get your gf/bf something), and we have a case of seasonal DDoS disorder a little late this year. Over the past week you may have noticed the site and tracker go down intermittently, they've both been under sustained attacks.

We've spun up some new defenses hosted by the fine folks over at PulsedMedia.

Everything except for the IRC should be completely rock solid by now (we're working on it). A quick shout out to those guys, as they've been an absolute pleasure to work with. Prompt, knowledgeable, responsive, and the hardware is great. They also sell seedboxes for those so inclined.

Much love and happy holidays,
--The PTP Staff
