Some really bad news.
Chinese Touhou wiki (THBwiki) and other Chinese Touhou websites are down. They are under DDoS attack for around 5 days. The attack is organised, but the goal is still unclear. More info: https://bbs.nyasama.com (+ https://thwiki.github.io/status/ )
To understand how serious it is, imagine if in 2011 MotK, gensokyo.org and Touhou Wiki (and other Western Touhou websites) became down at the same time.
At first Nicovideo (main Japanese video hosting) and other Japanese services. Now, Chinese Touhou sites. It seems unrelated, but it is still very strange... :SekiThink:

Update 1: It is only getting worse... The number of attackers only increases. And I don't know if Western and Japanese fandom can be attacked later like that. We must be prepared.
I remember that there were several DDoS attacks on thpatch / thcrap by AI bots. I don't know if it is related.

Update 2: Only https://bbs.nyasama.com remained, and even Nyasama is technically down, because it shows only the current status of the attack instead of forum... :TenshiCry:
Also https://www.touhou.cc/bbs/ is down (if I am not wrong, they are not related to THB)
Even QQ Touhou related chats are under attack now.
(Even some Chinese fans think there is some connection between attack on THB and Niconico)

I've looked at his patreon and it is possible that he's just trying to make a live with YouTube and is passing through some hard situations, based on the descriptions of the subscriptions. in anyway it's concerning
ORRRRRR he could be just trolling for attention, it can be a possibility
