I hope we are getting that long awaited upgrade that completely freezes everything up

Ha ha. Don't worry folks, I've used this host for 15 years. Longest outage I've ever experienced is about an hour.

I want my money back.

Did Silvestrefelem talk you into this 'upgrade'?

Too late. I just spent 4 1/2 hours on the phone cancelling my subscription.

That was pretty painless. Lol. Guess I slept thru the downtime.

ok, so it wasn't down overnight (well, for me where I live at least).....

I'm putting my money on Chicat.

Wasn’t me.

Definitely deep state bad actors funded by Ace.

So sorry for the downtime. We had an exploitable script that someone used to set up a SQL database on our server. A mass crush data transfer a few days ago from the malicious database got our account suspended until the cause of the high traffic had been rooted out. At least now we know we can increase our badwidth use 8 fold before issues arise.

Sorry for the inconvenience! So frustrating.

I want to remind folks they should follow our social media posts, especially if this site goes dark for any reason, like it did over the last couple days.

Ron, I know we talked about this before but I think it's time to put a donate button at the top of the main index page.

Bruins01 · Post by **Bruins01** » Fri Mar 29, 2019 4:08 pm

Or a Patreon.

I clicked on the $10 cash back from eBates 5 different times, so even if I get one of those will be glad to send that over.

But in other good news, I was quite productive at work.

Not a bad idea.

not convinced about Patreon. They seem to shut down projects for no reason and then refuse to respond to legitimate queries. Beware.

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Tue Apr 02, 2019 3:42 pm

Anyone having any issues with the site today?

This afternoon I keep getting errors (site sent no data, or something similar to that).

I'm not sure if it's on my end (crappy isp) or if it's the site.

No problems here

Thanks for the info. It's probably on my end then.

Seems to be a big influx of bot/spam accounts the last few days, much like what we were seeing at the end of March. Not saying there's going to be another outage, but be sure to know the social media accounts for the boards in case access gets shut down again so you can report an outage and get updates on when we'll be back up and running.
