Well it looks like we're back up and running but I'm not seeing uploaded pics yet.

Looks like it has hit Rennlist now..

Rlist looks clean to me.....

Dang, I can't offer Wayne a thing. I could consult on safety. Do you need hardhats and safety glasses for this kind of attack?

DDOS a board like this? Who have you kicked off the forums recently? :p

Seriously though...
Have you received a Western Union ransom message or anything? This stuff is usually about money.
Also any idea how many IPs are hitting you?

I think this is when you knock off the hippy shciese, strap on a helmet, and start shooting...

He'd probably appreciate cold beverages and moral support, I have a feeling its going to be a long night at the PP offices...

I actually had to do something at work today. I was having withdrawals man.

porsche4life 05-03-2012 08:25 PM

Any guesses on how long before this thing goes back to normal?

Bill Douglas 05-03-2012 08:33 PM

Well if the DDOS originates in New Zealand, my trusty Border Terrier dog Rooney and I will sort them out!

Weird, just noticed and after reading these post, didn't know the 914 to this day is a controversy. C'mon, shave them pork chops and rid those bell bottom flairs, get a real Porsche... (kiddin', love them 914's).

I'm outa here and I have faith in Wayne and gang.

Try cialis... works better.

Just checked and my two bulletin boards are not effected so the idiots are not looking there. Hope they are caught and we can turn them over to someone with some steel pipes and let them have a party out in the countryside!

Active user number is skyrocketed in the last 10 mins from 700 to 4200. I'd say it aint over Wayne....

onewhippedpuppy 05-04-2012 08:43 AM

Hebster52 05-05-2012 03:56 AM

Seems like the 911 engine rebuild forums have lost a lot of older posts too?
