That poor horse.
 
Horse: I swear if this ends up posted onto that internet of yours.  
Girl: Oh, don’t worry about it. Do you honestly think that I’d ever do something like that to you?  
Horse: The first time I trusted you, I ended up wearing this outfit. The second time I trusted you, I ended up posing for this photo…  
Girl: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times, oh now I’m just enjoying the attention.  
Horse: … … No. That’s not… Ugh!

There’s an old saying in Tennessee, I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee, that says “Fool me once… shame on… shame on you. Fool me, you can’t get fooled again!”

 
TMW you think the DDoS is still on-going.
 
No ponies for a week!
 
Then you learn it was all because the router fucked up the DNS. On/Off again, and boom! Ponies.
 

 
I was betrayed.

Big oof

@Acres  
What few Ponybooru Twitter accounts I knew of were silent about it. I had to lurk the depths of 4chan to even know it was a DDoS, initially.
 
But then it continued. Day after day, I checked if I could access the site. No updates on 4chan or Twitter.
 
Early on, in regards to a comment about Ponepaste, it was suggested that the DNS had to be flushed.
 
So I figured, why not. I flushed it. On the PC. Nothing changed.
 
After a week, I thought either someone had quite the vendetta to DDoS Ponybooru, or something was fucked up.
 
I used a downtime detector, and Ponybooru was supposedly up. Yet I couldn’t access it.
 
Archive.is? It could grab a snapshot, no problem.
 
At that point, I was thinking someone at the ISP must be hatin’ ponies or something, that maybe the ponybooru.org was blacklisted or something with a packet sniffer.
 
Thus, on my quest to find out if the site was blocked in the country, I found through a third-party website that Ponybooru’s IP address was 209.141.38.127. And lo, a single wrinkle appeared on my smooth brain.
 
I threw the IP into the URL bar.
 
I got an nGinX splashpage.
 
“HTTP,” I figured and made it HTTPS. Firefox wouldn’t let me enter–certificate was not valid for the IP–but I added an exception.
 
Boom, ponies.
 
I threw the IP address into the commandline’s ping program.
 
Perfect response, no issues whatsoever.
 
I threw the domain name into it.
 
Connection timed out.
 
But, my lone wrinkle noticed the IP that was fetched, 167.88.161.27, was different. It was a DNS issue!
 
But how? I had cleared my DNS cache multiple times. Was the ISP’s DNS server fucked? Skimming through 4chan again, I figured Zizzy may have done some hardware swaps. Maybe the IP had changed but the update didn’t reach everyone? Usually DNS records have a TTL, but maybe it wasn’t short enough.
 
Then I had a second wrinkle.
 
THE ROUTER.
 
They usually have a DNS cache and routing tables and whatnot! Just need to flush it, reset it…

I recognized almost every pic in that montage, too.

I am more used to communist being associated with dolphins then Nazi’s, so I think there must be a something super secret double subversion at play…
