What The Hey. !!! AGAIN ????

Welcome back everybody..............

Scott and the fine Server Admin gang has us back up again, but we are on our own for a while..

We have been shuffled around a bit and not completely connected so we don't pull down the entire Server with this malicious attack by the world Low-Life's

Expect the system to be slow and periodically go up and down for a while..

Please bear with us............. we're still the best forum for you and our shared interests......... and we will prevail.............

But as you said Larry a little on the slow side.

Real happy to be going again. Thanks to the guys.
I like most computer users really do not understand too much why these things happen, is there anything that we the users can do to help prevent these attacks, break downs or whatever you call it

I wish it were that easy.... and Scott even more so..

This attack is malicious and intentional........ It's intent is to drive you, and others, away so that TRF isn't the force in the Rolex world that it has become..

We are what we are because of the members............

Thanks for all the work you guys... I just don't understand why people would attack TRF? If you ever find out who it is.. can we all go over and do this to them?

Thank god.. I thought my wireless was going nuts.. I rebooted the router and still no TRF... but now the wait is over......
I thought JJ overloaded the server with all those posts...

The attackers should realize they need to go after the guy with the more posts in the forum...

Thanks for your answer. You are correct, I as I'm sure most members feel that we are among friends here on the forum and although an inconvenience, it ain't going to drive us away
