Why aren't their forums on OVH for DDoS immunity like buddyauth.com?

Auth server is less data to load. It just grabs a string or two and can allocate the traffic to other things. Their forums are data heavy so to load that on multiple servers with multiple database etc, would be cost inefficient. More or less...

Their forums aren't that busy and OVH is as cost efficient as you can get.

Why would someone ddos the buddy forums? For the lulz?

Why?: Competition, too much time, script kiddies, white knights, etc

Pick your poison
