Bitcointalk server down ?

[legendster]

So I just got this report from 2 other users (on facebook) who I dont even know and then confirmed it myself, seems like someone ddos'd the server database ?

I was getting the 502 bad gateway error and the other guys were getting something like this :

[Cyrus]

Migration testing ended up running an import script on the server ended up taking up way too much resources on the server. We are figuring out a better way to not starve the production box. This wasn't because of a DDOS.

yes it has been down around one hour and a half, but actually if admins doesn't say we can't now why

[Flashman]

I got the database error then the gateway error... probably just ISIS practising for when it's US military official currency or something.

[cryptworld]

it looks that this happened

Same here. This is the message that I got:

Makes sense. It's not a DDoS since a site that's being attacked by a DDoS attack would either not display at all (and you might see a browser-generated error message instead of the site) or load very, very slowly.

As an aside, this is why HashProfit's claim of being forced to shut down temporarily because of a DDoS attack was very suspicious. The site itself was working perfectly fine even while the supposed DDoS was happening. Only the message displayed was changed.

EDIT: I didn't realize that the whole site went down with a 502 Bad Gateway error after the above message was shown. I left before it happened so I wasn't around to see it. Now we know it wasn't a real DDoS but that's pretty much what a real DDoS looks like.

For me I tried to refresh and it was just loading in the first without actually ever progressing. Hence I though it was DDOS, but when I re entered the site address I was taken to 502 bad gateway.

Anyways I understood the problem and already said it was my mistake that I thought of it as an attack.

Yeah, I just realized that some other people who stayed around longer than I did saw the site actually go down so I edited my post. That's what a real DDoS attack usually looks like. Glad to know it wasn't the case though.
