[Freckled]

Hey Jose, yep they have been having some problems, sometimes database errors sometimes just down but this is the longest they have been down, server isn't pingable either

 

[imported_HadleyHost]

Yup WHT's been down for quite a while

 

[imported_TheLinuxGuy]

their server is up but it appears apache had failed

 

[FatalSw1tch]

they have been getting Ddossed

 

[imported_HadleyHost]

Apparently their server was attacked

 

[imported_Andrew]

They have been down for large chunks of every day this week...

If its a DDOS, someone sure has it in for them...

Hopefully it gets resolved soon - nothing worse then getting DDOS'ed

 

[imported_Keston E.]

heh seems like you all dislike wht :gun: .

 

[imported_HadleyHost]

lol well it's a good forum obviously the biggest - and I post on it, but i prefer the way HR is run

Well, WHT moved out from Ev1 network, so they're more vulnerable to DDOS's since Ev1 has 15Gb and Rackspace 6Gb (?)

If it is a DDos, its just another along with the rest of them. Been seeing loads of DDos's the last few months.

Nope, I use WHT and have don't dislike it.
Don't like anyone saying anything bad about other forums on here either.
I have actually warned people for doing this before.
I wouldn't like anyone saying bad things about HR on WHT and I wouldn't like to see the same of members on here

Amen - I'm not that kind of ppl, but I agree with you.

Actually, funny story about WHT - they have blocked an entire IP block - I have tried to tell them, but they dont listen...

Anyway, during the day, I cant access because my IP block at that facility is part of their blacklist... I can IP release/config all day to get new IP's - but, wont help as all available IPs belong to that block...

AND, by block, i dont mean a 16 or 32 unit block - i mean a xyz.* block...

Once I get home, I can access it just fine (at first I thought I was the one being blocked - but after contacting them I discovered it wasnt be they were after at all - phew )

 

[Lesli]

Just out of curiosity - do you know why they have an entire block...blocked?
