Whats up with fuwanovel?

Well, if it is DDoS attacks, and 4chan was behind it, that wouldn't surprise me.  People get really nasty when they can be completely anonymous.  I went there a few times, since a few friends of mine regularly went on there...never going back there ever again.  Not even if someone paid me to.

 

I haven't dealt with a DDoS attack since one of the biggest ones ever in the history of LoL.  Hope that's not it, and that it's just server problems.  At least server problems can be fixed.

I don't think it was 4chan they would have been a lot more vocal about it, as I said I spend time in both /jp/ and the /vn/ threads and while fuwanovel gets lots of hate for various reasons I havent seen anyone talking about bringing it down, so its more than likely it was just a cloudflare thing. I was just giving out a possibility if nothing else.

I'm puzzled and amused that a site that serves as a repository for content they don't own the rights to is sending out DMCAs to other such sites.  While the language barrier makes it pretty difficult to enjoy something like a VN in a foreign language, porn comics are an entirely different matter.  The "it's licensed in English now, time to support the creators" argument doesn't work as well there.  It just ends up seeming like self-serving hypocrisy.

If you read the whole story, Fakku only sent requests that the physical material they're publishing doesn't get hosted on several sites like exhentai. Simple request. Which is pretty normal.

The ones sending the DMCA were the japanese rights owners, Wani. Of course their getting into action and having actual weight stems directly from their selling worldwide rights to Fakku, and we have no idea whether they were enticed by Fakku to send DMCAs or not, but still.

There was no "whole story" presented for reading.  I read what I could locate via a cursory search (which was Fakku's recent announcement that they'd teamed up with Wanimagazine).  I admittedly took the user at his word that Fakku participated in the DMCA process--if that fact is incorrect that would change my interpretation.

Yeah, I just meant "if you followed all the ruckus that occured at that time". We talked about it and gave links in the Hentai thread. There's not much more to it than what I said though.

Official statement

Fuwanovel has been subjected to a DDoS slowloris attack vector. Slowloris is a type of DDOS that aim to create ghost process to flood the server resource as much as possible, causing it to lock up, and eventually crash. The attack, since then, has been fully mitigated.

Going forward we hope have the uptime of previous and are working hard to keep everything up and online in the future

as I said in a previous post there are a lot of people who rather dislike fuwanovel, and its community so its not all that surprising.

I get that it is disliked by some people, but it is pretty stupid to attack a site just because you don't like. I know that unfortunately it's a normal occurrence nowadays but it still blows my mind how close minded and stupid people can be.

The worst thing is that 4ch does have some considerable power in the internet and that just makes me even sadder.

4ch has no power over anything; it's just a gathering of users who's dicks suddenly grow bigger, because they get an impression they are anonymous on the internet, allowed to do nearly anything on 4ch's boards. Any place on the internet, which gathers tremendous ammounts of people tied with similiar interests has the exact same qualities. 4ch is just like that - it offers space for people to talk freely about anything and uncontrolled freedom is as dangerous as complete lack of it. Therefore, you can't be even surprised some people might find it funny to DDoS some sites (DDoS attacks are easy to perpetrate) just to brag around.

Backing my original statement, I agree with everything you said but the lack of power, even if it's just a bunch of anarchy loving kids and whatnot through their sheer numbers you can't say that their power is 0.
