Anyone else not able to access the forum today?
« on: August 25, 2010, 06:50:55 PM »
I kept getting a message this evening saying it cannot load, maybe SMF server is busy or something like that.

The jtf.org homepage actually said "this site no longer exists."   Anyone else having this problem today?

I had the same problem but I'm glad the forums are back and running.

Yes, in my opinion we suffered a Denial Of Service attack {DOS}...

All afternoon I was unable to access the forum..

You shall make yourself the Festival of Sukkoth for seven days, when you gather in [the produce] from your threshing floor and your vat.And you shall rejoice in your Festival-you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, who are within your cities
Duet 16:13-14

I would imagine that no one could access this site.  I thought we were hacked.  Were we?  (And, if we were hacked, they left a one line note saying that this site doesn't exist -- or something like that.)

Actually no, when I clicked diagnose connection problems from internet explorer, it said the site exists, but is not responding.

We did not reboot our server for two years. So we had to reboot again and make some adjustments.

We apologize for the fact that the site was down for several hours.

Chaim for future reference if you need to do that you should make an announcement in advance so it does not take your supporters by surprise.

Veeeery slooooow. Haven't gotten any errors but pages take 10-20 seconds to load.

PHEWPH.
Yes, it kept saying the website was unavailable. I thought it was hacked.  A little heads up next time from the administrators next time would be greatly appreciated.

I had trouble entering my password, and also topics very slow to load and also to take my replies.  Never had this trouble before.

It takes like 10 min to get on and 5 min to load a page.

I had that same problem too today. 

I have been disconnected twice, server says they cannot connect to JTF.  Will come back. This is strange!

I hope this was not supposed to be an 'upgrade' of the forum because currently the forum is virtually unusable. I have encountered 20-40 second wait times to view a thread, and sometimes it never comes back, other times a message about the forum database timeout is displayed...

I still suspect a Denial of Service attack on the JTF servers...
