How I Think about Site Attacks
We are in the midst of getting hit right now by some attacks. We are working really hard at fixing it right now. Our programmers keeps knocking these things down, so then these guys try a new strategy. This is not new. We've been doing this for years now. I've had a lot of time to think about this. Here are some thoughts that help me cope when these things happen:
1. These guys don't attack sites that don't matter. We are actually doing a lot of good here and trying to change the world. The energy they utilize to try to knock us down is evidence that we are succeeding.
2. Stress is good. Nobody likes dealing with stress, but it forces you to cope and it makes you stronger. We've implemented hundreds of fixes to protect our community. When we implement fixes it keeps more bad guys out. We are doing that same thing now and after tonight, we'll be much more stronger than we were earlier today.
3. Attacks unify us. They make us stronger. I don't think this is something attackers really understand, otherwise they'd stop. I look at this as an opportunity for us to become a stronger and more unified community.
Please really think on these things with me. We'll have this figured out soon. We'll be stronger on the other side and even more unstoppable than we were before!
These attacks will only make the website more secure in the future, soon it will be too much for the attackers to bother with. as of right now it would be best just to keep going as we always been and stand our ground without providing a huge reaction(they love that). Hope the attackers feel ashamed, trying to bring down a website that is spreading good in the world.
Not sure if they will need it but I wish best of luck to the programmers, what you guys are doing is much appreciated.

Thanks @ezraBC @DevTeam @KrinkTheMellowUnicorn @Twish @GlenM @Laura @Heather and @Iara for your awesome work keeping the community safe. Blows my mind what an amazing job you all do keeping this place up and running.
And to the people trying to take the site down, what I'd like to say is: if you need support, or just someone to talk to, we're here for you, too.
