Site Problems?!

[RILEY MASON DAVENPORT]

Are you having issues loading or posting on our site? Please bare with us it is not our fault. Proboards is having some issues and are working on getting these issues fixed so if you can load and read this that will be good. So if you are having issues posting modifying etc that would be why.

What was written on PBS earlier today.

Ok. Just an update. Firstly, there is no problem with the servers themselves, and all data is fine.

The problem is, unfortunately, a DDOS attack on our servers. This is when someone takes it upon themselves to flood a server/service with illegitimate requests [so like when you request a page to load but this is on a scale where they are sending multiple requests at the same time to flood the servers so the legitimate requests don't go through].

This is a nuisance of the internet, and unfortunately, something which can be done, and all services experience from time to time. We can only deal with them when they occur.

Martyn has been working on the issue since i posted for the first time in this topic, and has been able to bottleneck their attack and allow more legitimate requests through, which is why you can sometimes load the page at the moment.

Hopefully we will have this fully resolved soon, and can only apologise again for the inconvenience.
