how did that russian hacker problem work out

- pulled all my public_html files (http accessible files.. aka the whole website) to an unreachable area of my server
- trawled for snippets of malware to scrub off, and traces of inserted files/code they linked to
- waited a while for incoming traffic to get 404'd and give up
- swapped my main domain to dillos.xyz for a while and unlinked gmun.moe
- server still had a consistent # of processes being used i couldn't figure out how to kill (was receiving no new traffic), so i just had my server migrated to another region so everything would be forced to shut down anyhow (added benefit of giving me a new IP address, ditching the old)
- this required me pruning like 80GB of files on my server first... although a huge chunk of that was a large error file produced by flooding bots
- this worked, and my processes of been back down to normal
- bought some extra security to scan, didn't show up any problems
- set cloudflare back on my main server for active protection like i have on lfaqs
- swapped main domain back to gmun.moe and moved all the http files back to the readable portion

been a while now and... everything's good, no returning bots, no extra processes or traffic, and a my bumper bot and karma login scripts have been running as normal

i suppose i gotta turn chatbot back on some time, although it still doesn't have all the contest mode bot's features (namely graphs)
