G'day ya'll! I just wanted to give everyone a heads up on possible site issues of the last few days.
Register.com is the host for this site and have been under attack from a DDOS attack (distributed denial-of-service attack). This is where possibly millions of computers world wide turn their attention to a common task. They basically just ask the servers for information. Like where is "such and such" a website. Each request looks ok but when there are millions and it's constant and over and over... it slows the servers down to a crawl.
It looks like they're out of the woods at this point and the site should be available to be brought up.
Msg me if there are any issues I'll get them looked at asap.

The site is showing up perfectly for me.
Perhaps you guys might try using a different browser...
I use Firefox 90% of the time. It is a very worthwhile browser to try if you are not familiar with it.

I didn't want to start a new thread so I'll just post here but...........WOW!!! When I opened this forum tonight I thought I was someplace else. Someone got creative redoing this site! It's downright pretty. My eyes needed to adjust but whoever did it did a good job!

It was the phantom of the e-cigarette fourm... I'm there.. inside your mind  lol well my mind. I've not been well for sometime but been coming by every once and a while making sure to run maintenance. I was making some changes and I thought a new theme to go with the season would be a nice surprise. |
