Site Access Problems

[blamito]

I don't get emails for subscribed threads or PMs anymore. Is that site wide, or something I did?

[spidey976]

Site was down for about the last two hours or so.

Yeah, it's either been inaccessible or very slow to load today.

And even though that previous post was made after popninja's post, it appears before it. Strange things happening.

So frustrating. It takes FOREVER to process PMs and to go from page to page. So very frustrating...

[Juggertha]

Seems back to normal now.

Very sorry, folks. I just spoke to the host provider, and it looks like our node was suffering a DOS attack. I hope it wasn't directed at us, but even so it was pretty nasty. At least this one wasn't my fault.

Apologies, again. I know PJ has been having a rough patch lately. Seems like it's hard to keep the lights on. I assure you I'm working hard to set things to right.

Well if your provider finds out anything we have had a few guys banned from here as of late ... jeebus wouldn't that be something.

As far as I can tell we weren't the target, just collateral damage.

I have a possibly related issue: A friend of mine cannot get full access to the site, in that he can SEE the threads, but cannot post replies, and he gets the warning message that he needs to register. He says that he's attempted to register several times, but has never received his confirmation e-mail, and, of course, when he tries to open a new account, he gets something about that name being already taken. His onscreen name is "qrowdad", and he's given me permission to forward his e-mail addresses to you:

kevinparks@sbcglobal.net
kdp@kevinparks.com

Please help him if you can, I'd really like him to be able to comment on my posts, as well as to post himself.

And P.S.:
Thanks for all your hard work in keeping this site going. I've really been helped a lot by all the comments and critiques of my posts; It's really helped me to progress a lot faster than I would've otherwise, and I really feel comfortable at this forum as oppossed to others I've tried.
