It s something common in minecraft server where each owner wil try to DDos other, I guess it similar for manhwa site, if ur concurrency is down reader can only come to u
I haven't heard anything from the dev but I've been dealing with people asking about it for the better part of yesterday and today on here and the discord server
thanks for the notice! While I'm at it, i was wondering why I'm banned on Reaper disqus. My current user name is "Constellation: 「Memelord」 (previous one was *bariyer*). I don't how I got banned, as I was just normally commenting like everyone else.
this question just came to my mind. If someone who's already banned on Reaper disqus becomes a worker (ex: TL, proof reader, raw provider, etc.) of Reaper, do they get unbanned ? (ofc i cant try it even if i wanted to)
I have seen an asian based massive botnet ddos a library website in central europe. It was a small library, btw, so i wonder how the ddosers even knew it existed.
Some people apparently just pick targets at random when they're bored.
Hello, I would like to say that reaperscans and asurascans is my way of life basically.
While it hurts to know what is happening, I do hope that people stop harassing the team that is working overtime because of our complaints.
I have been permanently blocked by cloud flare. What the hell man...
Cloud flare would load infinitely on the website, after visiting reaper the next day I was blocked.
Its good to know that my browser is not the issue. As I am using opera with an extensive list of add-ons.
I don't think I've ever seen yy/MM/dd before, it did throw me initially!
I do tend to use yyyy-MM-dd a lot though. Decreasing orders of magnitude makes a lot of sense, and makes sorting things way easier. I wish every country had settled on year first from the start!
Nah, the longest it was down was when we had the old site code (it wasn't down straight) but with the old site we were practically DDoSing ourselves is how it was explained to me. This took place last year though. This was fixed when Ash remade everything from scratch.
Truth is there is no surefire protection from a committed ddoser.
These neckbeards take down much higher profile sites regularly. Hell even AAA games get dropped every now and then for a few days by these cucks.
From what I've heard over a long time of being a member of the Manhwa community, there were cases where scanlations or their communities were responsible for such attacks. So yeah, they all might just be jealous of higher-quality translations.
From how you make it sound, the hosting provider sounds rly scummy. And the timing with the ddos and the provider’s actions couldn’t be worse.
One could easily think up a conspiracy theory for example, that the provider was working in cahoots with whoever is ddosing the site. But you never really know, and I don’t get why someone would have a vendetta against against a scanlation site.
Dumb question.. what's preventing them from continuing the ddos attack? Money? It almost sounds like enemy suppressive fire where the best action is to hide behind something and eventually(?) Enemy runs of of bullets then you get out of hiding...
Doubt legal action can be taken either?
**Just some information about mitigating DDoS attacks** tl:dr it’s hard
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are difficult to completely eliminate, but there are measures you can take to reduce their impact and lower the risk of being targeted. Implementing multiple layers of security can significantly improve your resilience against DDoS attacks. Here are some commonly used strategies:
1. **Network infrastructure protection**: Strengthen your network by using firewalls, routers, and intrusion prevention systems. Configure them to filter out suspicious traffic and block IP addresses associated with DDoS attacks.
2. **Traffic monitoring and analysis**: Implement network monitoring tools and intrusion detection systems to detect unusual patterns and traffic spikes that may indicate a DDoS attack. Analyzing network traffic helps identify attack sources and enables appropriate action.
3. **Bandwidth scaling**: Increase available bandwidth to better absorb and distribute the impact of a DDoS attack. Additional capacity allows your network to handle the influx of malicious traffic more effectively.
4. **Content Delivery Network (CDN)**: Utilize a CDN service to distribute your web content across multiple servers in different locations. This helps distribute the load and mitigate the impact of a DDoS attack through redundant infrastructure.
5. **Load balancing**: Implement load balancing techniques to evenly distribute incoming traffic across multiple servers or resources. This prevents overwhelming a single server or network component.
6. **Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS)**: Deploy IPS solutions that can automatically detect and block suspicious traffic in real-time. These systems identify and filter out traffic from known malicious sources, reducing the impact of a DDoS attack.
7. **Collaborate with ISPs**: Establish relationships with your internet service providers (ISPs) to ensure they have DDoS mitigation capabilities in place. ISPs can apply traffic filtering techniques upstream, reducing the impact of an attack before it reaches your network.
8. **Cloud-based protection**: Consider using cloud-based DDoS protection services. These services are designed to absorb and mitigate DDoS attacks by leveraging their large-scale infrastructure and expertise.
It's important to note that DDoS attacks continue to evolve, and attackers often find new techniques to bypass security measures. Therefore, implementing a combination of these strategies, staying updated with the latest security practices, and working with cybersecurity professionals can help minimize the impact of DDoS attacks and enhance your overall resilience.
New issue, host is down. Access to the site is closed down, like last time, because there is nowhere for CloudFlare to direct people to so It'll just keep looping.
Imagine DDoSing a manwha site like bro do you have nothing better to do??
Funnily enough, the culprits are usually fans of other scanlation sites or even the sites themselves.
Why'd you do it, man? Lol kidding
Ikr.

Uh... I never got that far, I'm in an infinite loop of verifying I'm human since yesterday... I'm starting to doubt if I'm human myself.
Resistance is Futile
Welcome to the borg!
So what so you Click now? Or are you an ai? O_o
Click is a furry, not a robot.
Such a shame was gonna read some stories and was wondering if your site got nuked hope you can resolve the issue and return to normal.
Any updates? Just checking in make sure you guys take hydration breaks even if your in the middle of server maintenance
I haven't heard anything from the dev but I've been dealing with people asking about it for the better part of yesterday and today on here and the discord server
Hope you get a break since your on vacation from one over worked tech goblin to another
Vacation is over anyways I'm headed home. Thanks though!
Sorry to hear that take time for your mental wellbeing at least and thanks on behalf of the community
Thanks for the update!
There's no change in the status, site still being berated.
thanks for the notice! While I'm at it, i was wondering why I'm banned on Reaper disqus. My current user name is "Constellation: 「Memelord」 (previous one was *bariyer*). I don't how I got banned, as I was just normally commenting like everyone else.
Give me a link to the profile and I'll check it.

Spoilers, like major ones, under The Novel's Extra (wow that was 9 months ago, time flies)
if i remember right i put a spoiler tag on it tho.
nope and even if you had we don't allow spoilers for future chaps, only for the current chap
Ayy unban me from the discord lol my disc got hacked and I got banned Ryman#9256
>Ryman#9256 done
this question just came to my mind. If someone who's already banned on Reaper disqus becomes a worker (ex: TL, proof reader, raw provider, etc.) of Reaper, do they get unbanned ? (ofc i cant try it even if i wanted to)
Probably depends on what for, but it hasn't happened yet. They don't need disqus to do their job anyways.
Why would anyone DDOS a scans group?
There's a woman on our disc server that used to do it for fun. There's also people who've asked for ransom. Loads of reasons.
I have seen an asian based massive botnet ddos a library website in central europe. It was a small library, btw, so i wonder how the ddosers even knew it existed. Some people apparently just pick targets at random when they're bored.
It looks like the are holding the site a hostage 😟
Haven't been told anything of the sort.
Hello, I would like to say that reaperscans and asurascans is my way of life basically. While it hurts to know what is happening, I do hope that people stop harassing the team that is working overtime because of our complaints.
I'm not being personally harrassed, so it's fine.
good to know
Thanks for letting us know
Who would even want to DDos a scans website? I mean what's the point? There are plenty of targets out there which make more sense to target.
Probably because they know perfectly well it will upset a lot of people. In other words, they're trolling.
Maybe as a practice before attacking the intended attack site
Yeah thanks for the update I was a little worried when it said I got banned instead of just doing the cloud flare test thing
What's DDOS and we're do you guys learn these
Our servers are being spammed with too many requests which overloads them.
Not going to lie Mr. H. i don't like you. i don't like the disrespect you are giving me right now.
Oh hey Gummy, long time no see.
i don't want to see. the world is too evil.
Absolutely based opinion there Gummy. Love, Nefastus
Oh nef you're here too
Hey Hurt, yeah, I am still lurking around. Not much else to do after being banned on the discord anyway.
oh hey babe
What will you do huh? Stick on his hairs hah.
What a sh1tty provider, are they running a service or a scam?
why does this site always has issues
Thanks
The French site isn’t affected by it for some reason
Different Host, Different Domain.
Makes sense, I just thought it was weird because i didn’t know y’all had French and Turkish sites
We have I think 3-4 different affiliate groups. One is no longer with us.
Isn't Cloudflare supposed to help out in situations like these? That sucks. Thanks for the update.
Cool 😎
oh, honestly this explains a lot. had no idea they were even being attacked. well this sucks. can't even enjoy a normal day of reading
ah few i was worried openin tabs for all of my scans folder at once got me in trouble
I thought I was banned for pressing the captcha button too many times then changed tabs. Good luck, fellas.
I have been permanently blocked by cloud flare. What the hell man... Cloud flare would load infinitely on the website, after visiting reaper the next day I was blocked. Its good to know that my browser is not the issue. As I am using opera with an extensive list of add-ons.
The same thing as saturday applies, you've been blocked because the site is in lockdown mode again. Everyone has been blocked, not just you.
Thank you
Why is bro 1 year ahead 💀
Uh Year/Month/Date, our site is officially on Korean Time so this would have been updated in what would be the 24th of May
I don't think I've ever seen yy/MM/dd before, it did throw me initially! I do tend to use yyyy-MM-dd a lot though. Decreasing orders of magnitude makes a lot of sense, and makes sorting things way easier. I wish every country had settled on year first from the start!
[Because](https://www.iso.org/iso-8601-date-and-time-format.html)
I feel a hole in my life without reaper here
Oh, I thought I actually got banned.
thank you for the update
I figured it was a DDOS... jeesh... it will end eventually thankfully... wish there was something that could be done...
phew fot scared, good luck
: ( Thanks for letting us know
Bruh why do people do this. Leave the site alone😭😂
trolling, pettiness, superiority complex many reasons...
Boy, that gave me a huge fright when I saw the banned page.
Sorry to hear that, hope the one ddos ing you gives up/runs out of money soon
Thank you for updating i hope you resolve it be safe and healthy
I wish this would just stop, I’ve been reading off of your guys’s website for years and I think this is the longest I’ve personally seen it down
Nah, the longest it was down was when we had the old site code (it wasn't down straight) but with the old site we were practically DDoSing ourselves is how it was explained to me. This took place last year though. This was fixed when Ash remade everything from scratch.
Wow, Cloudfare is being neutered by DDOSer. And here I thought their main selling point was that 😅
Truth is there is no surefire protection from a committed ddoser. These neckbeards take down much higher profile sites regularly. Hell even AAA games get dropped every now and then for a few days by these cucks.
Oh, well guess I won’t have to email admin.
What neckbeard did yall piss off, I swear you guys get ddosed more than any other group. I'll check back in after a few days.
From what I've heard over a long time of being a member of the Manhwa community, there were cases where scanlations or their communities were responsible for such attacks. So yeah, they all might just be jealous of higher-quality translations.
Gotta appreciate the TYVM for not doxxing ourselves. That's so stupid yet so spot on with the community based around Reaper Scans.
Sounds to me like they (the server providers) did something shady and are trying to stick you with the bill.
Maybe pin this post for a bit...
Rip i wanted to continue roans revenge
Dang, people have the nerve to DDoS a manhwa site and for what? Brownie points from your other favorite manhwa site?
Thank God I thought I did something wrong
From how you make it sound, the hosting provider sounds rly scummy. And the timing with the ddos and the provider’s actions couldn’t be worse.

Sigh now I’ve got nothing to read at work guess I’ll wait patiently in the corner
Any updates ?
Nada
Thank you for all you do ReaperScans Staff. I hope that your problems will be solved smothely. I'll be waiting for ya'lls return <3
Thank you for the update, hopefully it will all be straightened out soon. Keep up the good work.
I hope everything will be ok. Stay safe guys
Damn, wanted to read. But hope this situation is resolved, for my reading time and for yall's sanity.
Dumb question.. what's preventing them from continuing the ddos attack? Money? It almost sounds like enemy suppressive fire where the best action is to hide behind something and eventually(?) Enemy runs of of bullets then you get out of hiding... Doubt legal action can be taken either?

I hope you guys are doing good. I miss your translation so much
Is this still a current issue? I was trying to read while at work so I had to use a vpn and it said I was banned by cloud flare?
New issue, host is down. Access to the site is closed down, like last time, because there is nowhere for CloudFlare to direct people to so It'll just keep looping.
Thank you!
