Server Issues

Hey all,
You might've noticed some downtime over the last few days. I moved this forum to a new server, which seems to be holding up for the most part but I hadn't set up the firewalls, security, etc..
I guess we got away with it for a while but the bots finally found us! And they hit us hard from far flung remote areas such as, Russia and China and India...and...Cyprus!
Poking and prodding every directory and file, attempting to login to anything they could to see if there was a way in but we finally put the clampdown on them! So, with most of those threats mitigated for the moment, we should be back to normal operations.
Let me know if that's NOT the case.

Re: Server Issues

I’ve had some trouble getting to the site and signing in. It’s inconsistent but it has happened recently. Not sure if anyone else has the problem. I’m using DuckDuckGo if that matters.

Re: Server Issues

I am having issues sometimes for a few hours but since I'm in Ireland, I think it's just how the server responds to my request that is at fault.

Been doing it for years over here, it's annoying but never last more than a few hours, and do not know if it is fixable really.

Hey,

It really feels as if you'd just found my car keys. I will make sure to give it a go next time and let ye know.

Thanks a million.

Re: Server Issues

Yeah sorry the old server can't handle the load any longer Im afraid. I was was supposed to switch to a new server but that got pushed back because of my other work. I am coming back home tomorrow and will be switching to a new host.

To be clear I did switch hardware but with the same host. That obviously did not work. So, moving to a new host next week.

Re: Server Issues

Yeah, that's great... except I won't be enjoying it, but thanks eh?

Such a great environment for bullying to go unchecked, in a stable manner that is!
