They claimed it was maintenance on FaceBook - but 48 hours is a long time for "fixin" a forum... anyone see any upgrades done?

Re: Looks like the hiccup has been fixed

Based on the graphically rendered letters that I had to type in for verification before accessing the forums, I'd say some sort of cyber-attack. Distributed Denial of Service, something.

I've never had to do that before - is that new to anyone else?

I had to enter the code too. Me thinks it was more than "maintenance".

Re: Looks like the hiccup has been fixed

I had a sick feeling in my stomach thinking that the forums might not come back. I just started a rebuild and I can't do it without these forums!

Glad it's back up and thanks to those who worked hard to get it running again.

The IT guys were working their backsides off to get us back up and running again. iboats spent some $ on this fix, also. They are working hard so we have a place to "play" and share information. A big thank-you to all who have been working so hard to get us back in the game!

Re: Looks like the hiccup has been fixed

Probably would not be a good week for a newcomer to post a complaint about something in the forums that they don't like...such as pop-ups ....or why there is not a "Buy, swap, or trade" forum in here...etc.....
Might be some serious "piling on". :)

Still getting occasional 500 - Server Configuration errors, looks like one of the servers in the farm is still messed up

Someone got tired of the pop ups and decided to hack the site! :)

Yup, I got the code prompt at first . . then I logged off and signed back in and it seemed OK. . . . no more prompt.

Thanks to all that worked to bring this forum back to life. :)
