DoD like Ringle states is the most likely culprit.
And that can get ugly.
Wonder if other Forum Factory sites were down also?
The DDoS very probably comes from some moron who has bitched about this forum on that sit*jab*r review thing, I don't know but I feel like Ringel, HWGA and you that we are under External Attack via a DDoS, this because these 502 Bad Gateway situations and slow downs are becoming very frequent for them to be a normal happening with the Server, we are experiencing huge blockings at this forum with the timings of 502 Bad Gateways. Someone is essentially doing what they can to shut this forum down by denying anyone the ability to get ONTO this forum.
All it takes is a week or two of problems to kill a site. Everyone will start scattering.
The worst I seen was about 8 years ago. A site pretty close to the size of this one lost everything inside of a week. To this day they are a tiny obscure site. They never recovered.
I came here from there.
