Serious Sam 259 April 12, 2014 Share April 12, 2014 (edited) Ok ,this is starting to annoy me.This has been happening for quite some time, but it's only now becoming very annoying. 3 times in a row I got a 504 error when refreshing the page and going to status updates, it says something like, 'This site is offline, please try again later' and it has a connection status at the bottom and when I look at the status for MLP forums it says something likemlp forums.comOfflineThis is very concerning for me, as well as annoying. Can a mod or admin give me a straight answer to what is going on?Thanks in advance! Edit: Just happened again as I was posting this. Here's the thing I was talking about Website is offline No cached version of this page is available.

Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824 April 12, 2014 Share April 12, 2014 That's a Ddos attack. Ddos stands for Distributed Denial of Service. It's when a hacker sends out a bot to overload the server with requests, thus making it inacessible. On the victims' side, it gets cluttered to the point that their request times out, resulting in a time-out error. The team is trying their best to rid these attackers, which may be anti-bronies trying to take the site down. 2 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeWg-TtBRMfqketa1ELyKGg Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/menelik-david-kenneth-cannady 2nd SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/thunder-dash-alternative/tracks Pony.fm: https://pony.fm/thunder-dash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution Justin ZW 396 April 12, 2014 Solution Share April 12, 2014 Okay, so Felds, Adam, and myself are investigating this at the moment. It doesn't appear to be a DDoS, but rather a server glitch. We're trying our best to get this all fixed up, so we ask for your patience while we try to sort this out. We apologize for the problems, guys. 5 A Whovian Administrator of Zelda Wiki who loves Rainbow Dash and all her antics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
