Another DDOS ?

I wasn't able to login for almost 30 minutes.First connection timed out error,later SMF unable to connect to the database followed by forum's please post about it in meta message.If it was ddos,was the ransom asked ?

I think that it was/is some sort of upstream networking failure. I'm still seeing an above-normal level of packet loss, but it seems usable now at least. I'll keep an eye on it.

I can't browse in this forum if i'm use vpn or proxy.. always error or error access this site.. any problem about the site admin.?
Or this is just the effect of price increase?

Noticed the down time too. Knew it was something access to the site. It was 30 minutes but thought it was longer because I was away for 4 hours.
Have to be concerned about account details being leaked this time again?

As far as I can tell, the connection is still spotty but relatively stable at this point - there were some short disconnects, but for the most part the connection troubles have settled down.

Probably not.

It's pretty spotty for me right now. I'm getting the "This site can't be reached, bitcointalk.org took too long to respond" or something like that.
Been happening on and off for the past hour

I keep getting a lot of errors. I think it's active at this point. I was about to make a thread but saw this one and the fact that Theymos has already said he's looking into it just means they're trying to fix the issue (obviously Wink

)

It has been patchy for the last two hours for me.
Seems to be settling down now.

I just changed something, post here if it seems to have helped or not.

Forum seems to be functioning normally for the last 15 minutes or so.

Seems to be working normally now, thanks!

I was not able to log in for a while ago but everything seem to be working fine now. I'm no longer receiving a connecting error.

I was getting all the errors mentioned above for about an hour or so. Right now it's working just fine. I spend too much time on the forum whilst I'm at work anyway. Happy Halloween, all.

I was not able to log in for the past several hours and it is working fine now ,hope everything is resolved and if there was any hack,admins n mods pls send a mass SMS regarding changing the password.

I'm not sure If this helps you out or not but while trying to access the forums when It was down, I got different types of error messages :

1. The usual that probably most of people received (Server is not responding , connection timed out)
2. an SSL error about the connection not being secure (which is the one I'm mostly worried about) , I didn't keep a screenshot but Firefox was linking me to this https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/what-does-your-connection-is-not-secure-mean (I didn't receive the error message as the first screenshot)
3. I also received this at some point and I guess the path shown here is from my PC but not sure what caused it :

Not sure what happened. I couldn't log in early this afternoon and yesterday at around 6pm PST. The website itself is still kinda flaky as I've been having trouble logging in just a couple of minutes ago.

The forum is unstable for the last 24 hours but it back online now, with a new IP (54.221.201.137, some might use it for hosts file).

I thought that i have some problem in my internet but now its working fine for me.. I just clear all history and cache in my browser. for those who still halving problem clearing cache and cookies may help..

Halving problem again using vpn i just disable it again to login in this forum and i think the issue still not fix or this is hosting problem for this forum..
Admin please check..

I can confirm right now that the forum is insanely slow. I use TOR Browser in order to browse this forum at work because they have it blocked with a firewall or something, so it makes it even slower. I tried with a VPN, it's more usable but I dont like to pay for a VPN. Tor was working just fine until today which became super slow. Please help.
