Having some issues getting on and navigating today?
Our server is under a dos attack...should be able to track it down and clear it up shortly. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Is the "DOS" using hollow points or Full Metal Jackets? :confused: Just wondering........ :laf:
What kind of call we use to get 'em in close? :roflmao:
Jim,
Are you saying this is the second attack? If so, quit using that Spanish you learned - uno, dos, tres.

Freaks :laf:
DOS is Denial Of Service Attack.
It's where some freak sends millions and millions of hits randomly and rapidly to the server all at once and for extended periods of times. They are designed to literally crash a server since it would be impossible for it to withstand that kind of useless traffic impact.
We have things in place to prevent this, but it's like a virus, there are new ones made everyday, and it'll take something a helluva lot bigger then whatever that peon was doing to crumble this server. :wink:
I figured the computer geek knew what it meant........... :eyebrownod:
I was wondering if it was on my end. I tried getting on this morning, and the page was white and said " Connection Problems. Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by server being busy. " Which ment nothing to me. :nono: Then I tried again, and it let me sign on, then I would try to open a topic, then the page would come up again......... Glad it works now. :biggrin:
I thought when it said "SMF" it ment "Some Mother Fu***r" was unable to connect
Some Mother ---ker :roflmao: :roflmao:
SMF is actually the name of the software used to run run this show. It feeds data to the database all day long while you guys are prowling around in here, and then when you want to search something it's there, keeps track of how many members we have, who posts what, how many replies a topic has...basically everything.
OK so basically your saying that in truth, Some Mother F***er "the name of the software" really couldnt connect to the data base. HUH!! Bet he's married to Becky.................LOL
ROFLMAO! :roflmao:
Mannnnnnn that was deeeeeep :eyebrow:
Maybe it's a PM attack!!!! :confused: :shrug:
:nono: No one over there is smart enough to spell DOS let alone perform a DOS attack. :laf:
