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?

TruthSpreader · « **Reply #1 on:** August 25, 2010, 06:52:36 PM »

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

I had that same problem too today.

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

All afternoon I was unable to access the forum..

Not just the forum ... all of JTF was blocked

And who it might be?

Me too. I have not been able to log in for most of the night.

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.

At least we weren't hacked.

Good! I feel better about it now. (I hate hackers.)

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.

The One and Only Mo · « **Reply #17 on:** August 26, 2010, 05:04:28 AM »

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.

Exactly

"this site no longer exists." was the message and it is still slow, but thanx Chaim it is working.

Kahane-Was-Right BT · « **Reply #20 on:** August 26, 2010, 02:53:42 PM »

The site is still loading very slowly for me too.

Debbie Shafer · « **Reply #21 on:** August 26, 2010, 03:00:47 PM »

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

mord · « **Reply #22 on:** August 26, 2010, 03:16:35 PM »

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!

muman613 · « **Reply #24 on:** August 26, 2010, 03:41:37 PM »

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...
