Some of you may have noticed that last night the forum was either exceptionally slow loading or simply did not load at all. According to <a href='http://forum.jcink.com/index.php?showtopic=14945&view=findpost&p=127832' target='_blank'>Jcink</a>:
Quote:At around 9PM we suffered a very serious DDoS attack against our network that is still ongoing. The site is being put online because we've been able to diffuse some of the flames. We know who is responsible and are working on bringing some justice on that front as well as trying to improve things on our end.
I apologize deeply for the downtime. These people do not have regard for how many users they're causing pain for and I will be doing something about it.
Please follow us on twitter ( <a href='http://twitter.com/jcink' target='_blank'>http://twitter.com/jcink</a> ) for further updates.
This means we can expect, for the next few days or until the problem is solved, to see slow responses on the forum. (This is while Jcink handles the attack and gets things back to normal.)
As well because the attack is not over, it may be that we are unable to access the forum again.
