What's been going on with the forum then?

[Fliselege]

If it was owt to do with the link I posted for the boob & bum site that also broke my missus's laptop, I apologise ;-)
Glad you were able to fix it, why oh why are there destructive folk buggering up computer business, I'd love to over hear a private conversation where somebody admits to being a virus spreading hacker and break his fekkin legs.

They're not accessing the forum at all. They're sending too much traffic to the whole network, so it crashes (or we actually turn it off before it gets to that).

 

[Mr Tiler]

oh sound dan, I don't get why someone would want to spend or use a huge amount of resources just to temp shut a site down pmsl sounds pretty sad man, unless like you say you will get a randsom through your emails lmao!

 

[Dan]

I'd pay 10 times the amount to prevent this than pay a ransom. That'd just encourage it again in the future.

Sounds to me like a trial run from the script kiddies ,they attack smaller server banks to test their scripts to use on larger ones.

 

[Spud]

Bit of a struggle to get on here again today ?

 

[Qwerty]

Apparently should all be sorted now

 

[White Room]

I do hope so....

damn, we've been rumbled!!! I left the keys for forum jet under the plant pot by hangar door Dan

Yeah we should be staying up now.

You might find the odd half hour we drop off if we get a large attack again while we configure things. But they've been attacking us for a while now and you wouldn't even tell when browsing the website.

1 - 0 to us, eventually.

Email notifications are now back up and running. In fact all emails should now be working fine.
