I received this error earlier, for an extended period of time (usually, it lasts for a couple of seconds only), just to let you know. I am guessing the forum was receiving a DDoS attack.
Same here, couldn't get on for quite awhile. Glad its working again now, though. I honestly have no clue how the HPs manage to keep these sites up with how often they get taken down, I can imagine its time consuming to say the least. If any of them see this thank you
This is basically on the level of being a job for a long time now. Everything has it's pros and cons. This is not only time demanding but stressful, it is 24/7, but really helpful to everyone. Even if I went into details nobody would understand except of people who know exactly how this type of stuff is. Gotta keep up with a hundred different things so that everything just stays as is. I have taken courses to such an intensity that it's higher than a bachelor's degree in these things. In the end it paid it's demanding nature off.
On top of this sometimes troll posts are around 1000 some days. Sometimes way more. Always fun to see spammers and trollers desperate.
This would be solved by "Google Captcha" on registration, but as anyone who knows of these things can see, putting Google in the registration process is the dumbest thing one can do for user privacy. So fuck google and things are fine.
On the other hand, it appears with the amount of DDOS'ing we will have to host this on Satellite internet or something, and possibly even then, the Satellite will get traffic error. Like JoS Satellite may be needed. And one could never be sure about it's safety. Might also get some sort of Space Army unit guarding it. And still, not certain.
New steps are being evaluated to solve these issues, everything is on the table right now. However everything is on the testing stage yet. In the next days, courtesy of some brother in Satan, and in a new site, the Groups Archive will be operational again. We'll keep you up to date as always.
