Bulbagarden was rocked earlier this week by a massive Distributed Denial of Service attack, resulting in site wide downtime for the better part of 3 days. The person responsible for this unprovoked attack is still unknown, however fingers are already pointing towards the Bulbapedia vandal known as "Ph34r", who had conducted his largest scale attack ever in the day prior to the DDoS attack.

Thankfully for Bulbagarden users, the databases of the Bulbagarden forums, Bulbapedia, BulbaNews, the Archives, and the Oekaki all seem to have come through fully intact.

More news on this turn of events will be posted as it becomes available.
