DoS Attack
Right now, a DoS attack is being performed against the Jazz 2 list server. This is when a group of people ping the list server in great volume, causing slowdown or even crash. So far, the list server has only been slowed down moderately, but depending on the size and involvement of the attack, it may slow to a crawl or even crash. This is not a test attack, and is being preformed by an organized group. Until then, I would recommend not relying on the list server for urgent games and instead trading IPs. There is no word on how long this will last nor how many people are involved, but I would say the number is probably below ten right now. This may change. Regardless of what happens, the list server will probably be quite slow for the rest of the night (starting from 12:30 GMT roughly). Again, the list server may be down for a while, or at least slow down significantly. Do not rely on the list server for hosting urgent matches, and instead exchange IPs.
EDIT: As of this edit, 12:32 AM GMT, the list server had now slowed down much at all, and was running quite well.
