OMG! THE FORUM IS BROKEN! FIX IT!

[woolfe99]

And I'm sure we'll all miss your 9 posts in nearly 5 years (just kidding... kinda). But as for myself, I think this forum is worth waiting for. Yes, it's been a frustrating month. But the reason we come here is because this is a celeb forum like no other. Easy to navigate, picture posts aren't weighed down by meaningless text posts and arguments over whether celebrity-x has implants or not... All I'm saying is give this forum some time to get back on track. And post more pictures!!

I don't expect anyone to miss my 9 posts either. I, however, will miss the forum if it gets to the point where I just don't want to bother with it any more. Not there yet, but it's offline so often these days I'm starting to go elsewhere for celeb stuff.

I really wish these non stop Dos attacks would stop already. Geez!

Missed you. Glad you're back!

So anyone care to take a guess at which pissed off group of celebs are paying for the DDOS attacks? Or is it just a disgruntled wanker who got banned. Or maybe even one of those annoying websites with a ton of advertising and pop-ups, trying to eliminate the competition? Or better yet some asshole trying to sell his "free" ddos protection? Doesn't matter, we'll still keep checking in, eventually the attackers will run out of time and resources and move on to other things.

My guess is a spammer who got banned or some chump who does not like competition to his small blog

Thursday 19:35 GMT, there was a power failure at our Data Center. The load balancing server was destroyed and replaced. However, they encountered other problems getting the forums back online. They are hopeful right now that we will be back to normal within a few hours.

As always, thanx to The Powers That Be for all their efforts.

System Admins assure me the indexing problem will be repaired as soon as possible. :computer:

All of our forums temporarily crashed for a few hours on Tuesday due to a problem with database replication. Although fixed now, we can expect slower than usual performance during the next 12-36 hours while the server cache is being rebuilt.

My apologies for the inconvenience.

Since 9 July 2016, we have been working to resolve server problems causing some pages to load slowly and many submitted posts hanging up, particularly when adding to larger threads. Updated server status will be posted here when available. Sorry, I have no more detailed information for you at this time.

We apologize for this inconvenience. :computer:

 

[LarryO]

The servers have been reconfigured & things should be much better now, but not perfect yet. We ordered some new servers, which will be set up over the next few weeks, we're not expecting any major downtime, but I will let you know if that changes.

We lost a hard drive last week for the main database. Slaves took over but forum performance will remain slow for a few more days as we copy all data to new drives. We should be back to normal within 2 or 3 days.
