We are still suffering the effects of a DDOS attack, but for the moment, we are back online. We'll continue to keep an eye on it. But boy, what a ride (hey phil!!)

Cheers.

Yep, what a ride it was over the last 6 or 7 days

But Robyn kept me in check

and now WL is back thanks to Robyn's efforts. Robyn was fantastic and has been up till all hours of the morning for the last week trying to get WL back online

NOW where Geoff's weekly quiz

Well done Robyn and Phil. Great to be back. Trivia Quiz No 19 has just been posted.

Back yet again, and maybe it`s just my imagination but the site does seem a little faster now. Let`s hope it stays up eh.

Yes, we've been fighting hard to keep the server up through massive amounts of DDOS traffic. Still watching the "flow of things" to make sure we're not missing anything, but for now - all's looking good

Yesterday the site was still getting hit quite bad but Robyn and the DC managed to do some tweaking and today the site has been super quick, even quicker than b4

what I really don't understand is: why would anybody want to DDoS attack a free forum website?

Was this part of the Deadlink virus? It seems to be effecting a lot of internet traffic. Or was this an act directed solely against a few forums?

Thanks, Robyn, for the massive amount of hard work you've had to put in here! It must have been quite some ride. Your efforts are very much appreciated!!

Phil, congratulations and thanks for your hard work here also! You've always had a forum par excellence and it's hard to think anybody would "take aim" at you. I was just now able to access today (maybe my I.S.P.?). Glad to be back!
