and I discovered the 'TURF' forum (I know redundant with the 'F's). TURF seems to be a poor copy of this forum and I wondered if anyone knows about it. Perhaps the moderators could comment on this (via private messages if they want to delete this post).

Thanks,

A lot of the members here were former TURF members, for some it might be rubbing salt on a old wound.

yup 5 days of inactive rollie forum for me as well... what's going on ?

Lamone · 24 May 2010, 12:17 PM

The TURF were having a member drive.
They are devious.

i dont know about TURF but i snoop around in timezone, watchuseek, and others but never really liked it there. TRF is really a great place. i hope this place will be around for a long period of time.

i dont even have a facebook account!

Same here...no access for many days until now.

I've had the same problem. Poked around a little and found something interesting on "boardreader", I guess they track websites. Anyway the user graph for TRF showed a pretty steady number until about May 18Th. The user count all of a sudden spiked up, then went to zero in the matter of hours. Not sure what that means but it looks like no one could get on. Glad it's back, I was panicking a little there.

Had to do a cache copy to see something...OUCh...!

Hmmmmm...I wonder if it was one of those "denial of service" attacks?

Just read another thread here...turns out it was a denial of service attack on the server hosting this site...
