We're back and we're here to stay!!!!!!!!
I apologise for the inconvenience causes by the infliction of serious criminal activity upon the forum.
Those responsible for blocking the forum will be subject to Federal Prosecution. Scott has brilliantly spent a lot of time in seeking to resolve this problem. Further there have been significant resources deployed over the last few days on the server side in both human and monetary terms to fight the criminals that have sought to bring the forum down. This is an ongoing battle and it will require significant resources to battle this problem. We may create a privileged usergroup for those who will get preferred IP treatment. If you can't get onto the forum it is likely that you have a compromised computer, or that a compromised computer is sharing your IP address. If that is the case you will need to undertake tasks and pay an administration fee. Mac users do not have any compromised machines that became zombies. Mac rules  Finally a big thank you to Scott - the server administrator. More details to be announced..........

Mac here but finally got on today. I've had a "Cannot connect to server" or "server not responding" message.
Why would anyone try to mess with this forum? Seriously. I know very little about servers IP (don't know what that even means). But I have to imagine that it takes these people a lot of time and trouble to do this. Why would they do this if there is no money in it????

Just got back in now. Sent my IP to Tools for forwarding as instructed. At home now, but will have to try at office tomorrow. Missed everybody, but we did have a small sub-culture going on at WuS

Good to be back in full swing. Against better judgement I am double NATting behind 2 different gateways. PFsense at the head of our datacenter and my untangle server that heads the line coming to my house from the datacenter. I should be airtight hopefully. Not to mention I am on my MB Pro.
To TRF and it's wonderful MODS. Thanks guys!~ Joshua |
