HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

2017 is here (on this side of the world at least)! I wish for all of you and your loved ones a very happy new year, a year full of luck, success and happiness, a year full of joy, blessings and all the good things. 2016 was an eventful year, for better or worse, but it's time to leave it behind, onto a new year of greatness.

Once again, happy new year to all of you. Do well on your new year resolutions yah!

Hi~

We will bring forth some new changes to the Appeal system! As some of you may know(well if you stay off troubles you don't need to know lol), we have an appeal system where you can challenge a decision made by a moderator regarding a warning you may receive. There will be some changes to the system from today onwards, and I hope you guys can take note of it(or just stay out of troubles

)

Past:

- You make a PM adding me, the Head Moderator, the mod who made the warning. You can make your case, and the mod can explain their decision. Either me or the Head Mod will make a final decision on the appeal, to accept or reject it.

Present:

- The process will be similar, but instead of me, you will be adding the Senior Moderator team, who will be the ones dealing with the appeal: Pineapple, Bekki and Darkchao45. The three of them will independently review the case, and if the majority of them have the same opinion, it will be the finalized decision for the appeal. If one of them was the one dishing out the appeal, it will automatically decided as one vote for reject.

With this new protocol, we hope to get the process of appeal to be handled more cleanly, and the appeals can be handled quickly (as some of you may know, some appeals can take really long when it gets sent to me, really sorry about that

).

Please take note on this!

Hello everyone!

As you guys may have noticed, with the departure of Nurse Xia, we are having a vacant spot of the Head Moderator. So please allow me to introduce to y'all our new Head Moderator, who will be leading our moderating team from now on! Please welcome

Darkchao45

The longest-running moderator that we have, with a lot of experience moderating and running community on his own, Darkchao45 is more than capable to take up the role of head moderator. He has always been the firm, resolute mod we need, which is ever-ready to tackle any problems or issues with his fair and just judgement. I can definitely rest assured with him at the helm, as I can believe the forum rules and regulations are in good hands.

Please welcome and congratulate DarkChao45 for his new position, and let him bring forth the future of OneHallyu ~~full of darkness and chaos~~! (Also take note there's no S in chao, it's a Sonic character OTL)

One of the first friends I made on OneHallyu, and one hell of an amazing person. There's many things to admire from her, and I'm really glad I got to work together with her for the last 3.5 years. Smart, organized and very ambitious, I firmly believe you will be successful in whatever you want to do with your life.

It's been a long time, and I can only wish for you all the best. Be successful in life and remember me well when you do . I will miss you a lot, for all the long talks we had, all the random chat that we did. You have always been a person I can trust in. So here, I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, not as an owner, but as a friend, who has learnt so much important things from you

*deep bows*

Hi,

Many of you frequent users have noticed the occasional downtime in the last couple of weeks, and I know it has impacted your experience with OneHallyu negatively. I think an apology from me wouldn't do, so I decide to make this post to give you the explanation on why this happened.

So what happened?

Basically, our hosting provider detected that there are malicious traffic hitting on the IP address that's linked with onehallyu.com. These are not legitimate traffic, and those are supposed to overload the server behind with junk traffic, making it unavailable for any users to visit the site. The malicious traffic is often known as the Denial-of-Service attack, which you guys may have heard of the term DOS (or DDOS: Distributed DOS)

As a preventive measure on the hosting provider side, they null-routed our IP address. For simple explanation, all requests that hit on the IP address shall be redirected to nothingness, and none of those requests would hit the underlying server behind. That's why during that time, you guys normally encountered the browser being stuck at Connecting.. This is due to the browser being unable to talk to underlying web-server.

TL,DR: We were DOS-ed

This wasn't the first time it happened. You guys may have noticed it happening a while ago, which takes 1-2 days for the site to get back up. You may have seen the turn around time being faster this time around.

Why is it so? Null-routing is often turned on as a defensive measure, and it normally turns itself off like 1-2 days after the attack subsided. Which means for a couple of days since the attacks started, the IP address will be rendered useless. That's why it took so long for us the first few times we get attacked. Nowadays I found some workarounds to get it back quicker, however I would prefer not to disclose it.

Impact:

The only obvious impact is that no one can get on the site, apparently. All your posts, threads, PMs are safe, and I do regular backup to make sure nothing gets lost.

Random thoughts:

I have seen a sudden rise of our popularity in the Russian region, so my first train of thought would be someone rented a botnet in Russia to attack us.

DDOS is almost impossible to prevent, and if you have enough money you can always rent a super huge botnet to bring down some big websites (well, not the super huge huge sites).

Anyway, these malicious actions are definitely not ethical or legal by any means. I would try to investigate to see what I can dig out of it.

Also interesting thought that the attackers would have to spend much more money to attack us than the tiny stipend of monetary loss we have to take...

Anyway, that's all from me. If you see anything going wrong with the website, do reach out for us quickly, on Twitter, or through the email. We will try our best to keep the downtime as short as possible for all of you.

-sad-

P/S: Please support RV comeback I love you all.

Hi!

I'm done with tallying the result, and I'm here to announce the winner for the second part of our giveaway!

How it works:

The gist of the raffle is pretty simple, for each of your choice you will get a weighted point representing your chance. If you have 1 choice, you will get 1 point, and if you have 2/3 choices, your points for each option will be 1/2 or 1/3 respectively. If you did the retweet, your chance would double. From the weighted points, I use a random number generator to select one randomly to win the raffle.

Infinite album turned out to be the most popular option, and there are so many people looking forward for a chance with B1A4 and Big Bang as well.

For our winners, we have:

Infinite Be Back Repackage + Sunggyu Photocard : purpledream88
B1A4 Into The Wind + Gongchan photocard : arianne
Best of Big Bang Japanese Edition : bluesargent

â€‹Congratulations to all the winners! You should have received an PM from me, just reply to the instructions in the PM within the week please!

And for all the ones who weren't as lucky, we have more to come! Please anticipate more giveaways coming your way!

Good luck have fun!

A couple of days ago I received an email, which reminded me to extend the forum license for the next year. That's when it finally hit me, that OneHallyu's 3rd anniversary was going to come very, very soon.

I have never thought to myself that I would stay with this community for this long, and I could never have dreamed of how far this small community has grown throughout the years. Throughout the years, this site has been a big part of my life, and I'm really grateful for all the experiences I got from it. There have been ups and downs, a lot of pressure, stress, and frustration. But from OH, I have learned a lot of new things, had the opportunity to try many things I could only dream of, and met/befriended so many cool and interesting friends all over the world.

It is just a simple fact that the community is only as good as its members, and I have to thank all of you for being here, contributing to this awesome forum. Thank you all for your support, and thank you all for making OneHallyu what it is today.

Here we are today, celebrating the 3rd anniversary of OneHallyu. I hope we will continue to grow stronger and stronger, for the many more years to come.

I also hope everyone can take a chance and show some love and appreciation for people who have made your forum life interesting and enjoyable: that dedicated poster who is always the first to post the updates; your awesome friend who has made your online life much more interesting; or that helpful staff who tries their best to assist you with that silly request!!

Thank you all, for being here, for being a part of this community!

Happy Birthday OneHallyu!

With love,

-sad-
