Why does the forum keep going done? Is it because of hack attempts or something else?
;D
Hack attmepts ;D
Hehe I think Neil said it was maintanance being carried out on the server. Personally though I haven't encountered any problems although I know quite a few people in chamber mentioned it last night.
Yeah...I've had several times over the last couple days that the forum's been down. At first, I thought it was my computer because it was doing everything really slow. But then, once I got the error messages, I realized the forum was down. :( I hope the maintanance is done soon, though.
Me also -- Thanks for the info. ;)
Man, this was one of the longest down-times.
Pleeeese stay up...
I think there was a 2 1/2 day downtime over the summer...and we lost several days of posts then.
*applauds those who worked to bring the forum back* Thank you!
Does anyone have any idea why the forums were down for so long? :-\
Yonkey was spellchecking every single post? XD

I didn't get a chance to come online at all Tuesday and the time before that they were working Monday evening. I fixed them today around 7am before I left for work. As for
why they were down and keep going offline, I still have no idea. :-\
Still thinks it might be mischief -- such as denial of service errors -- hack attempts -- hopes that I am proved wrong ???
[Hopes that Neil can find the culprit and send something mean back to them if an individual is to blame]
it could have been DoS attempts but i don't know. If it was me I wouldn't only go for the forums but rather the whole site lol wouldn't you think?
Stupid Black Hats! lol
It wasn't a hacker. :P It was the combination of them doing server maintenance and it screwing up the forum database. Anyway, the site's been up for a while now so everything should be fine. :)
