Same for me.

Super slow for me also.

Not sure why you would attack a forum of all sites lol

Had to try three times to post this, getting a database error one of those times.

Something is definately up, can we get some official update on this?

[Mooshire]

Actually seems to be gone for me now.

Just kidding, it's back and I also got a database error.

Those two script kiddies are probably just mad that we have become much faster at banning their phishing accounts. Somehow, they think that spending even more money by ordering a DDoS on us would help.

Of course, all of this is speculation, since I don't have access to the server logs.

Seems to be over, now. Was fairly slow, but was never down-down.

Fwiw, though, there were over 4.5k regged users on when the problems were happening, probably peaked not too far from the record-number on in April. Closer to 3k, now. I thought it was just an extremely heavy "normal" load on the Pirate news.

ETA: Maybe it's not over? I'm used to 200-1000ms latency wherever I go, so I don't notice it much.
