Site Outages

[dcabarle]

It looks like our host has been blocking some proxy servers. If you come onto the site through a proxy service, be careful. 2 proxy services have been banned. The host doesn't like when the site gets bombarded with attacks. Of course I don't think it's anyone targetting our site, I just think it's a random attack on our site.

If you find that you can't get onto the site, our host probably blocked your IP address because it was being used with bad intentions (possibly without your knowledge).

Anyway, here's the deal with our host. It's a 1 man team and he's been very generous to us for the past few years. I'd like to send him a little something on behalf of us (Not me, US). I don't typically ask for donations but it would be cool to show your appreciation to our host. If you have 2-3-5 10 bux... whatever it is, send it to my paypal acct. and I will pick something up. If you enjoy this site, please help out.

Was he using any software to detect "unusual" activity?

Typically, I enter the site via "New Posts", and open all the "new post" topics in FF "tabs"... Then go for a smoke while they load... (Lot of activity all at once?)

Yesterday, I could do the above, but any further activity got me a "Page not found".

Does the host fish?

He banned me and now a donation ?

How much is FF giving?

How much is FF giving?

I never give a thing, AK. BUT YOU, you throw money and gifts around as a matter of course... Open up that wallet and give 'til it hurts...

I'm spending all my extra cash on water jugs and a wood fired electricity generator. Haven't you heard:

AP IMPACT: Tritium leaks found at many nuke sites - Yahoo! News

It won't be long before our water supplies are DESTROYED and they will BAN the use of Nuke reactors all together. NOT GOOD.

Cheap bastard.

I should be paid to post.
