Over the last few days, our host has been hit by another form of DDoS attack.
(And our host isn't the site. Several other sites have also been DDoSed. Namely one large roleplay directory site also.)
Jcink has been working to get this issue resolved and for now it looks like it's pretty much fixed. Though if you notice that the forum is not loading (and giving you a page that says like: "error 502") or loading extremely slowly. Then this is likely why.
If you want to check to see if our site is online, this <a href='http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/endlessfight.net' rel='nofollow' target='_blank'>url</a> is a quick and easy way to check to see if our site is up.
And you can check out host with <a href='http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/jcink.com' rel='nofollow' target='_blank'>this url</a>.
It may also be a good idea to check <a href='http://twitter.com/#!/Jcink' rel='nofollow' target='_blank'>Jcink's Twitter Feed</a> (as it is usually updated within minutes when an attack begins.)
Also, even during a DDoS attack users will still be able to access our external shoutbox by going <a href='http://endless-fight.chatango.com' rel='nofollow' target='_blank'>Here</a>. Similarly our wiki will remain online even if the forum gets DDoS attacked.
Now for something new/good...
I've recently added a new section to the forum. It's a member's only section located in the Great Miscellaneous section. The purpose is to discuss more personal matters like if you're having a bad day and just want to vent it.
