Title: Was the forum down for an hour?
Post by: erikalui on July 17, 2015, 08:18:30 PM
I tried accessing the forum but it appeared offline since 40-50 minutes. Am not sure what happened  :-\


Another DDoS attack?

Going by the unread replies, the last reply was at 12:56 and now at 1:46 IST. This means the forum was down for 50 minutes. I tried checking the forum twitter account but nothing was mentioned.

Me too, maybe we'll have to wait for staff or admins to confirm why it was so. For some time thought it was only me, only confirmed it after checking on isitdown site.

It was down for an hour I think. These lapses is happening more often. It is DDoS again? Twitter didn't say anything:

Yes, and not the first time it happened. I wonder why.

Took some time for me to realize that the problem was no my connection

Hmm I think it is more than an hour. Tried loading the forum 2 hours ago and I cannot. No news from twitter, also. Who else is still experiencing slow loading of pages?

2 hours back it was working fine. I had just edited my thread that time. It was offline only for an hour and yes, now pages are loading slowly.

Same issues here. Maybe something going on with the hosting ??? After last ddos attack my email address mentioned in bitcointalk.org account is under heavy spam impact...even with good firewall.

Actually for me it shows that there is a gap in message log from 10:26 PM to 11:15 PM.
But if it was something serious I am sure we would have had an official announcement.

it was down here as well. pages barely load currently here. not sure what's going on, but a statement on twitter from bitcointalk would be nice.

I'm sure they won't post in twitter unless there's some major attack. the site was only down for a hour so it's probably nothing big... at least I hope so.

I was browsing a lot today on the forums but I didn't encounter it to be down, just quite slow for a few hours.

Same here. Also shorter term seizures as well. Par for the course these days. Out of curiosity does anyone know, epic hack aside, what's been the most disruptions in the space of a week?
