I think that this site might need some upgrading with it's servers..... Or something like that...
I mean I love this site.
But I'm tired of getting things like.
  • This link is broken.
  • or the site taking 10 minutes at a time to load pages. (No Joke)
To name a few.

In my opinion this should be fixed....
And I don't just was a reply like try usig a better browser..
Like FoxFire..
Cause using FoxFire doesn't help.
Or at least it doesn't help me.(I've tried it)
I constantly get sorry's from people on my Friends List saying they took long cause the site was loading EXTREMELY slow.
Just some feedback..


I mean I probably wont even be able to say anything back to whoever reply's to this since the site wont load for me like it should.

Yeah it's usually totally cool but then again What could the mods do? Is it a simple setting change to speed up the servers or is it expenisve to speed them up? i'm not an expert on website networking so i don't know =/

those slow times, especially the last couple of weeks, is being caused by an DDoS attack upon Us and/or (yes at the SAME time) our datacenter.

There is NOTHING we can do about aside from what we've already done. Its just part of the wonderful web experience and we all have to just suffer through it.

if you are STILL having page load issues, PM me a trace route to PC and your IP address.

Broken links now, most of those are likely due to a link that goes to a now closed thread.. just report the post stating that the link(s) in the post are broken etc. the mods should then edit the links out..

I have been having these problems for about 2-3 hours now.

Nothing can be done about it however. I know about these problems to a certain extent and they are doing everything they can.

I looks like it is over now though...

They can't really do much more than they already can. It isn't like they are doing nothing! XD

I think we will all just have to be patient.

Hi, internet n00b here. Can I ask what a DDoS attack actually is? I frequently get a page saying "oops, this link appears to be broken", but the page then loads when I refresh >.<
Denial of Service attacks. Usually, it is when several packets of data larger than the standard are sent to the network causing system crashes (Ping of Death) or when several packets of data with invalid IP addresses are sent to the network which causes the server to be too preoccupied trying to satisfy the fake requests to respond to legitimate requests (SYN Flooding).

A DDoS attack (Distributed Denial of Service) is essentially the same thing done in a larger scale.

It's pretty sad that some hacker has time to launch such an attack against a site which generally caters to children, teens and older members who do nothing to incite such an attack. It sickens me to no end. I do hope that the ISPs get the bots and their master taken out. But that's just how things are nowadays. It is most likely a targeted cyberattack against a larger site. (Quite possibly an attack against the host provider itself)

I would assume it's a bunch of crackers who think, because they have a little computer skill, that they own the internet. It's not the first time botnets have attacked, and it wont be the last sadly. Ah well. The best we can do as a community is keep our heads held high and pretend like their attacks aren't affecting us. Rather than giving trolls the pleasure of a reaction, they should be fully ignored and isolated so that they have proper time to reflect on their own actions, and the full weight of the consequences of their actions.

I agree with Pachy.

Another thing that gets me, is wondering why anyone would take the time to attack PC. We're certainly not the biggest, or most interesting forum to hack. :/ If they were hoping for some huge overreaction, they should've gone for Gaia, or something. (Not that I want Gaia hacked into, but you get what I mean..)

Todoroki said it has been slow for two days for him.. it's been like that for a few weeks on my end. o_O Lately it's been worse, though. But I'm sticking with this place, regardless of slow it gets. nn;

Hey man, why don't you find their IRC channel and stir up some trouble like you did when PC was hacked a while back? That worked out well, right? You really helped us out then.

Not being rude, but didn't your heroic speeches and whatnot land PC in a load of trouble last time we got hacked? It's probably best just to ignore the problem.

I think this topic needs to be locked before things start to get out of hand again.

Bottom line, I am sure, is everything that can be done, is being done.
Not commenting on the hackers motivation would be the best thing to do, only because of the last time this happened.
Another reason not to comment on that individual is because you don't know what they are capable of doing.

What I did then resulted in nothing.

Did you read my post? I actually suggested we ignore them.

You were lied to about the chain of events. Even Amachi has it wrong. I don't know what rumors are floating around the mod lounge or around staff comm. channels. Anyways, the truth of what really happened is between me, the admins who were present at the time of the incident and steve. (Seriously should we even be mentioning this kind of stuff? I thought staff secrecy prevented this kind of chatter)
