Forum disruption

[Lostinthewoods]

Apparently the bots knew that AZ was hitting cards and ID was releasing controlled hunts today.

The reason for today’s 503 code was due to “getting hammered by bot traffic”.

Sorry for the disruption and welcome back.

Thanks for all the work to keep this place open. Sad there are so many forces that want to mess with it.

When we get targeted the anti-bot software closes the forum access. It is the only way to stop an effort such as we experienced in the last 24 hours. It also requires a database integrity verification. It is getting more expensive every year, due to these overseas bot farms. Sorry for the inconvenience and disruption this causes. If you see a 503 error, know that it is likely the same issue.

On a positive note, some here were probably very productive at work today!

I genuinely thought you might have simply had enough and shut the whole thing down LOL

That's what I thought...or I got banned.

That would occur to someone less dedicated ... and with a new spectacular fishing boat and walleye partner!

I thought my bandwidth might be too slim...or I was rejected for Dotti stories or feeding elk...

So it has nothing to do with watching porn , right ? Asking for a friend ....

 

[kansasdad]

Thanks for the update....I confess to feeling a little Chapelle-ish without my HT fix.

Mama hates a quitter.

I admit, I like to duck in for a quick peek...
Was feeling a little lost....the world at my finger tips but just need the HT fix.

 

[Little Big Man MT Chris]

I had to txt @JCS and ask him if he’s was able to log in , or was HT down…..
All is right with the world…… again…..for the time being

Here all you guys were stressed out and I got $73,000 dollars of my lost bit coin recovered by the extremely trustworthy members that like to log on here frequently….

Might need another disruption for cleanup. What’s New is a minefield.

Good Lord, what a mess! I knew something was wrong when I saw 5 pages of new posts. Sheesh!
