Following that attack,Rails Machine has decided to no longer host and sponsor the site in order to protect it's network and other customers .
"I really feel bad about this. I'm just a single person running the site free of charge. I make a very minimal amount of monthly income from the ads. Probably just enough to cover hosting now that I don't have a sponsor." Josh Goebel, founder of pastie said in the main site.
"I guess this is just one of the downsides of running a large, popular site, but it's very frustrating. "
Goebel is currently seeking help from someone with expertise in protection against DDOS attacks. If anyone ready to help him, they can contact him.
