    Apparently Russia and China had a little bit of a ddos episode over the weekend. Looks like the UK caught the worst of it with our outdated infrastructure. My connection was out most of sunday/monday, so I gave up and went getting a life instead ;) At one point even running my own DNS server wasn't getting me any connection at all.. 95% packet loss.

    Situation normal again, panic over

    I've been having problems with this site all day. Started around 2 o'clock or so. Pages no longer there or just to busy, I dunno. Not been able to get to the news section, the main forums, or the profiles.

    Here's something that I was directed to when trying to get to the profiles.

    Sorry about all the problems. They are being caused by a variety of reasons (load balancer errors, disk IO bottlenecks on caches etc.), and I'm working on resolving them.

    The problems have surfaced thanks to very high traffic surge to the forums. No way of knowing the limits without pushing them. Nothing a little bit of optimization wouldn't fix. =)

    Yea, I've experienced problems like this before, but nothing this heavy and for so long.

    But I guess this is a good thing, lots of traffic means more revenue...

    Pretty pointless again today. Very slow and lots of timeout errors.

    Maybe this post will work.

    Yup, I'm still having the same problems. It's starting to become very annoying. I post something, that times out...I try to read the news section, that times out.

    Hell, I hope this goes through.

    If I click page 27, this is what I see..

    It's the bombardment of 'I need new codes' in the digital tv forums :)
    That forum is slammed right now.

    Seems to be around the same time both evenings.. 4-9pm gmt. Could be a lot of traffic to the site, or in the region of the servers.

    I know my isp are ------- about at the moment installing all the spying software/hardware so I check other sites before making reports.
