Sound Off Down Temporarily

Sorry guys… we’re working on it. Please check back later.

If you’re curious, apparently our site was under automated attack and so the hosting company shut down part of it. Getting them to bring it back up is taking longer than I would like.

Meantime, post comments here.

    How dare you not fix this for all the money we are paying for this site!!!!!. Damn, I will go back to PG+ instead of paying zero dollars here.

      It’s tough to compete with a non-existent web site. Kind of like the Steelers playing against the Browns.

    Just curious, was it your site or the Quick Chat folks that were attacked? There have been a lot of DDOS attacks lately.

      If the information from the NOC is accurate, it was an automated attack on the login page. Their solution was to disable a php file that impacted several components of the site, but most notably Quick Chat.

      I’ve implemented a captcha and other mechanisms to try to deter these scum.

        Probably dirty hippies that think they’re fighting the man.

        Oh wait, we have some of those on the board don’t we? Well, I don’t mean you guys.

          Actually DDOS and Brute Force logins are usually perpetrated by losers who still live in their parents basements. We may have a few of those on here too, though I would hope not.

            Perhaps the same douchbag who downvoted this post…? 🙂
