Is it just me or is the forum server laggy again?

[micky.blue.eyes]

Hey,

Are there problems with the server again because the forum is running really slow for me. So are there any server problems or is it my computer? :s

Thank you.

I doubt we are being DDoSed, as i contacted our host the other day and he explained something about why it was going slow.
Also why would they DDoS us at 11 surely they would want to take us down around peak time?
And what is the link to this scripting forum if so?

Anyway our host has been contacted so they should speed it up soon

[TealArms2]

they are doing it all day apprently, but i cant say cos it would be against the forum rules and i would only say if u unbanned TealArms which ur not going to so there is no point

Ok someone gave me the link to *****.
And they are all getting people to DDoS us who probably have never done it before, so our host will probabably be able to track them down

[TealArms2]

Ok lol will they get in trouble with the police?

It is illegal so it comes under the computer misuse act. If you are tracked doing it then we would just ban you from the server and contact your ISP, however i don't know how our host deals with DDoS attacks.

I warned jack about this earlier, the program that they are using is sending data to the server, but it's not normally what is sent.

Everything is working fine now.
