HX1 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Just wondering if this is a problem on-going current because of an attack, or maintenance? ...but I have repeatedly gotten this message today.. AND I might add have noticed quite a bit of activity again from South Africa on my own servers, in other areas such as filtering... With many of the usual requests... DDoS? .. curious..EDIT: Took three attempts to recreate and post this.. and had to upload the attachment twice.. I have also noticed disappearing emoticons or emoticons that will not show up until way later than expected for about 2 weeks..The Database has also been way slow for about a month now.. I just logged out and back in and it seems better. Had to even edit the post.. Would not even load the front page.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted September 9, 2011 Administrator Share Posted September 9, 2011 Yes. It seems we are facing some technical difficulties and are looking into it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndoe Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I've been getting this as well, couldn't be a DDOS or something of the sort, could it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HX1 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Made it here as a Guest.. :P Compacting the database could help as well as deleting cached pages in the Admin console.. but as a suggestion I would say this is all probably been done.. but it does seems like some sort of issue.. Took five minutes to get here and this probably won't post .. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shought Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 The Status Updates, Personal Messaging and Search have been disabled for performance reasons (not to worry about that).I'm not sure what the cause of these issues is, I'm looking into it. Please don't refresh the index all the time, just wait a few hours, thank you :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myidisbb Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 getting [#10245] errors when trying to view profile or view new content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HX1 Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 Not for sure if this because of site load due to the same activity I have been seeing lately but the following could help on the server side I would try it on the dev server first though... I always found it useful combined with PeerBlock for protecting servers and systems... There if you want it... should loop each request to a non-existent site which has to timeout and could be quite interesting for them.. There is an additional one which will send them in a n infinite loop.. but its old and I have to find it because it would not work correctly with my setup.. Includes the 4G and 5G Lists.. There are some more items at Perishable Press.. :)EDIT: Removed extra attachment..getting [#10245] errors when trying to view profile or view new contentThis is because Search has been disabled, as well as Profiles and stuff as mentioned above.. :)Going in for a bet on these two IP's .. as they seem to appear for some reason... While loading a page.. :dunno:218.61.205.4:44760 - SSH Attack asked for port 22222.186.24.106:6000 - Supposed MS SQL asked for port 1433 - WTS<--- :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HX1 Posted September 10, 2011 Author Share Posted September 10, 2011 Does seem a bit slow.. but not receiving errors here yet... and if you used a program to hit those IP's you realize that your system is wide open to them... When I tried to do mine it kept hitting my filter.. smiley corruption again too.. here.. missing or taking long time to respond.. Something has the server(s) working overtime...58.218.199.250 - Very active and doing port scans here.. been going on for about two weeks.. heavier last few days... Probably scanning for infected systems to circumvent by others.. Bots.. :rolleyes: Not always just curious.. sometimes they look for things.. they are there for a reason..

shought Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 In order to make sure we can at least provide a somewhat consistent service to our users we've enabled Performance Mode on our forums. This disables some features like messaging, searching, the status updates and several other more obscure options.We're still actively looking into what is causing these issues. The above is just a temporary solution ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator DKT27 Posted September 11, 2011 Administrator Share Posted September 11, 2011 I know shought will reply but I'll say it anyway. :PThere's nothing to worry about (DDoS like stuff). And our admins are working very hard to fix it so be patient. :)@Win7nerd: Read above. shought has enabled "Performance Mode" which disables some heavy load tasks so that forum is atleast alive and working partially. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HX1 Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 If you go back up the thread and read a bit you will find out everything you need to know... Its part of running n performance mode.. All system and database intensive features are turned off.. this includes search and messaging along with other related features.. we are on manual like the good ol' days.. ( though I don't know what was good about them ) You get the point.. read up.. :thumbsup: :)Yes that was me and I forgot to sign in.. :PStaff Note: Posts merged. Please Report the post if such a case. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgood Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 have not only nsane but have got the server too busy from a number of other sites..then did logins with https and available..http..server too busy.Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HX1 Posted September 11, 2011 Author Share Posted September 11, 2011 Yes and several file servers are giving incorrect file sizes and dropping connections right before the end of a file.. automated downloader has tried for two days with two files.. un-announced to me.. BUT this has been occurring.. Threw in some extra lists for extra measure.. but it seems MANY sites are now becoming inoperable.. or atleast properly.. I have taken mine offline all together just to cut down on it and I am about to throw up the curtain and go off the grid so to speak.. This is something someone else is going to have to cleanup... Could be Operation in Our Sites.. literally.. could be something else.. regardless just like the last 11 years.. everything is falling apart... Imagine our worse terrorist being our own stupidity..Until I see some signs that things are as they should I will probably not be on or around.. too much BS.. sit there and stare at the walls I guess.. :( Only best bet..
