Dear members and fellow treasure hunters,

for the past couple of weeks our server has unfortunately been under a heavy so called denial of service attacker where a huge amount of artificially generated server requests would force the sites to go offline as the server couldn't handle them.

It has been tough to fight this back but we are lucky to have found a very good expert crew in the end whose service good migrate the attack.

This was not an easy job and some adjustments had to be made to the server which unfortunately affected the forum.

We are nnow doing our best to fix the remaining issues.

The loading speed is back to normal and there are no more posting issues.

However we still need to get the attachments back to display and also the board notification back to work.

Attachments should hopefully be back by today so the board can be used to its full extend again.

I beg your pardon for this huge inconvinience. It has been a big let down to all of us. I am very sorry for this.

Thanks for your patience and happy hunting to all of you,

Christian

Hi Christian

The site seems faster than what it was before the attack  Smiley hopefully this will be the last time that we have to go through this.

All the best
Xavier

Homefire is right. It was the 3rd or even 4th time that an attack has happened. Usually those attacks die after a couple if  days but on the last occasion it was persistent for over 2 weeks.

I can not say who has been behind the attack. It could be a competitor, a former mebers ... or just anyone elese who enjoys getting a forum offline and hamring it and its visitors.

Hardware protection has been purchased so the site will no longer be affected by attacks in the future anymore.

However some things like the attachments still need to be fixed, then we should be back to normal.

Regards

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.
