         We are currently experiencing heavy DDoS against several locations at which we've got servers hosted. The attack is ongoing and cause a lot of disruption, both to users of the network and 
 unfortunately to projects/companies/individuals whose infrastructure is hosted at the same locations as us. Our sponsors and our sponsors' upstreams are working hard to try curb the attacks as 
 best they can. 
      </p>
      <p>
         We will try keep this page updated with any significant information as and when we receive it, however, users of the network will also be able to receive (infrequent) status updates via 
 global notice and slightly more frequent updates via wallops for those who have chosen to go +w (<b>/umode +w</b> or <b>/mode yournick +w</b>) will enable wallops in your irc client should you 
 wish to see these. Global notices do not work on a opt-in basis, and are restricted to information we deem important, however for those of you who have absolutely no interest in what's going on 
 with the network you may <b>/ignore *!*@freenode/staff/* notices</b> in order to prevent global notices from displaying in your client.
   </p>
   <p>
      We apologise for the inconvenience this no doubt causes for you and your project(s) and we would like to thank you all (in particular, our very generous and dedicated sponsors) for the 
 patience and support while the issues are still ongoing.
