HEY! That would be great!

It the server we are on a shared server?

Hey Retched - We have a rented box at softlayer.com. I also host some sites for friends and family but they don't use nearly the resources that AAC uses (vBulletin is a bit of a resource hog).

 

That maybe not the right thread, but speaking of local bugs, my posts count is frozen. Can anything be done about it please?

 

Hello,

When you post in off-topic there will be no added post.
In the other forums the post counter should add.

Has it always been like this?

 

Hello t06afre,

No, it has been changed somewhere in march 2010,
as there where some members who tried to boost the postcounts by posting in the off-topic.
Now there is NO postcounting in off-topic anymore.

OH NO! what ever will Loosewire do?

As he proudly has done since Apr 2008 I guess. And by writing this I actually drive up my post count with one. Not to be forgotten

 

Loosewire,has stated he just fine on off-topic tread mill. Its the content
that counts. Loosewire,wm

 

Thanks Bertus for the clarification. I thought something was wrong with my account.

 

Whatever was changed seems to have fixed the issue. It hasn't been laggy at all for me today.

Hi Jrap, what kind of server runs the site?

 

Hi Jrap, what kind of server runs the site?

Just my opinion, but, giving out that information could make it easier to hack/compromise this great forum. Long live, All About Circuits!!!!!

 

Hi Jrap, what kind of server runs the site?

Why do you need that kind of info?

 

Oh, I was just wondering what specs - as in the power of it.. I'm not a hacker haha

 

It's been doing it again last night and today.

Home page tells me 680 (46 members and 634 guests)

Shouldn't be too high of a load unless everybody is using the search.

 

Something VERY bad is happening here.

I have had a server not responding for the last 45 minutes.

Im injured here! How do you expect me to stay entertained?? HUH??

What am I paying you for? Downtime?

..oh. Im not paying you? Carry on, then.

 

Wonder if someone is trying to hack us? ElectroTech was vandalized a couple of months ago.

THATS IT!

If someone is continually attacking AAC and keeping me from my educatin'/entertainin', then they best watch out. Imma come out swingin'

..well once my elbows heal.

 

Actually I was being serious. The first part of many hacking attacks is a Denial of Service attack. If the server can be overwhelmed it can create an opening.

This site has been attacked in the past, several times. So has ElectroTech (they got in there), several times. Seems we are on someones list for bragging rights.

Maybe it's someone's FYP.

Last night shortly after 2100 EST (US), AAC went down for me too.
