The pool is now back to being about 35% of the network, but I think this percentage is still too high.
I would like to convince people to try out the other pools, so I am going to raise the fee to 5%.
In the past few days we got a very high number of orphaned blocks (because of the recent attacks), so this will also help to cover the pool's losses.
The fee change will take effect tomorrow.
There are currently 9 Litecoin pools to choose from:

just to clear a few things up
it wasnt attack from poolers or my side, we were talking most of the day about it and what todo
the litecoin nodes was suffering from addaddress spam causing them to stall completely in end or atleast to a point where the nodes started to come out of sync, p2ppool nodes isnt/wasnt immune

pooler your pool is 51% attacking the network 
Luckily enough, being 51% of the network is only a necessary condition to carry out an attack, not a sufficient one. You would also have to modify the client to maliciously handle transactions, and I have no interest whatsoever in doing that.

pooler your pool is 51% attacking the network
It may just be some kind of wacky bug with Pool-X, which now indicates I'm mining at 1200% capacity (?), but it does highlight the importance of p2pool in protecting the block chain.

Pooler, is the lack of reaper v13 having long polling hurting you at all with the increased stales?
Yes, of course. Long polling is crucial to reduce the number of stale shares to a minimum.
My reaper client has been getting an average of 350kh, but my account is only reading it as 250kh?
?? Are there any problems with litecoinpool and reaper since the client is getting such high rates now?
?? Are there any problems with litecoinpool and reaper since the client is getting such high rates now?Remember that speed estimates are computed over the last 10-15 minutes; is it possible that you didn't wait long enough for the estimate to settle?

These make me never want to use the pool ever.

I've been having a bit of an issue lately. When I'm looked in, I get logged out whenever I try to view the Stats page. Any ideas?
All of the other pages work fine, and I remain logged in.
Cheers

In theory you should only need to re-login if your IP address changes, or if the session expires (after a week).
Have you checked that your browser is not using a cached version of the Stats page?
Auto payment threshold isn't working.
It seems to be working fine to me. Remember that automatic payouts are processed twice daily, at 11 UTC and 23 UTC.Auto payment threshold isn't working.

Another bunch of scammers. Tried this for a couple of days, then poof, "Account has been suspended".
Nothing to see, move along, avoid this crap like the plague.

That message simply means that someone tried to access your account using invalid credentials and failed a certain number of times. For security reasons, in these cases the account gets blocked. Your miners and your balance are not affected by this, only the web access.
You can regain access to your account by using the password recovery procedure ("Forgot password" link in the login form). A reactivation link will be sent to your email address. If you provided a fake email address that you cannot access please send an email to the address on the "help" page.
I have now changed the message to be more descriptive.
The next time something unexpected happens to you, please, ask the service operator before jumping to conclusions.

Now can someone help me figure out a good hardware rig to get started using Windows 7?
What brand/specs should I be looking for in a CPU? Is there a thread or web page that has more info?
Seriously, just don't get a 500 bucks CPU just for Litecoin. Get what you'd get for your other uses, and then just run the miner on it. It used to be worth 0.01+ BTC, look where it is now.What brand/specs should I be looking for in a CPU? Is there a thread or web page that has more info?
As for CPU brand, well, the miner has regularly been optimized, which often changed what brand or model was best. Now as far as I understood, it seems that miner performance is globally comparable to generic bench performance, so Intel > AMD in absolute performance, not sure about perf/price ratio though.
Finally, how do I find out what the potential hash speed is for my current PC... just by running the scryptmining software?
That, or by checking the miner thread: some people reported their hash speeds their, that may give you an idea. On a Phenom 2 X4 955 @3.6GHz I'm getting about 25kh/s. On a Phenom 2 X4M N930 @ 2GHz I'm getting about 13 kh/s.Thanks that info is spot-on helpful. I have been looking at the pool's stats page and seeing the various kH/s specs of the miners there.
I think will be able to figure out what I need now.
Best,
Stew

Excited about this new coin. Wanting to participate and have seen the very clear and simple guidelines on the Litecoin Pool homepage.

SMS/email alerts when you mine a certain amount would be cool
That would be an interesting feature, but I have one major objection.
It's not advisable to leave one's earnings in a pool (any pool), because the balance does not constitute a promise of payout. If the pool got hacked, pending balances could vanish. That's why it is important to enable automatic payouts, and to keep your litecoins in an offline wallet.
