    The past few weeks we have been consistently under attack. I know this, because i get an email every single time it happens.

    Now, last time it happened the site went down shortly in an attempt to stop the attacks.

    Last night, we got hit REALLY hard, my inbox was flooded :) Our hosts took a different approach to fix the situation, that didn't involve closing our site down like before. Sadly this caused the errors you was all seeing on the screen, but they hadn't noticed these. So yeah.

    Anyway. It seems the attacks might be linked to our chatbar at the bottom of the screen, so for the moment it has been fully disabled so we can see if this stops the attacks and we will take it from there.

    Thanks for your patience!

    for it is not my area of expertise, but would a virtual machine such as virtual box, would that make any difference to theses attacks.

    Thanks for hanging in there and keeping the site alive! :)

    As a side note when I had a shopping cart site that used to get hit all the time by countries that are known for this, I would block the ip's associated with that country, it helped! However it was an easy decision because I did not sell / ship to their country anyway, so they were guaranteed to NOT actually be a customer. If you are consistently getting hit by a certain area (group of ip's) try blocking them for a month and see it it gets better.

    This is what I used to use ... https://www.maxmind.com/en/home

    I just want to add my appreciation and gratitude to the previous comments for your commitment to get the site back up and running again.

    Running a large number of websites and a large local hotspot myself, I understand how difficult and frustrating it can be when these issues arise, and how annoying it can be when a small minority seem to think that it can be fixed instantly. So a big thankyou to You.
    To everyone else, 'when things dont't work quite as you would like, please chill out and have patience'.

    (I must add though that I am, as always, very impressed with the good will shown on this site. Long may it continue...)

    very nice to hear the site is up once more, hope the attacks do stop at any case, but that can be a literal pain in the behind to accomplish

    first step is to find the vulnerability in question sadly, and that may be more on the vendor end for those who actually provide the minichat vs
    what the site administrator can do themselves, then it's a matter of fixing said vulnerability and fixing it, then deploying said fixed version to the website...

    tl;dr ... It could take a while depending on what the problem actually is...

    Hopefully having the private chat down should at least encourage more people to communicate in the chatroom.

    I was thinking more along different lines.
    Your hard work is paying off in attracting more women to the boards, and none of them are measuring the size of their foofanoo.
    Even some of the manly-men occasionally discuss experiences and feelings instead of the admittedly all too common how to measure a stick.

    :)

    Yes indeed - nice to see that the site is back up and running again.

    From what I can gather it may well have been more of an accounting/administration problem than anything else this time.

    Which raises the question of how donations are going to keep the site running............ :)

    If we can find the guy who hacked this site, I think we all know a proper punishment for him will include some form of chastity!!!!!
