I guess WHT is under a DDOS attack.
This is attack season for me already, yesterday I had big attacks on multiple servers for whole night.

Currently Web Hosting Talk is under a distributed denial of service attack from multiple hosts. We are working with Rackspace to mitigate the attack and bring services back to normal.........

I can only hope soon. I wasted a good ad post today and now have to wait another 7 days to post again. LOL

lol - when it went down I got this email from ProHostingTalk....

Hello Jayso,

This email is being sent to all members of Pro Hosting Talk who have opted in to receive admin emails from the site.

I'm sending this message today just to quickly remind all members that you are more than welcome to use PHT as a temporary replacement while the hosting industry's most popular web hosting forum is offline as it appears to be having some sort of outage.

I've posted a thread to discuss the WHT outage (?) at http://www.prohostingtalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=914 Feel free to comment if you would like to do so.

You can also use this time to help promote your web hosting business by posting some info about your offerings in our advertising section at http://www.prohostingtalk.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=22 (it's free).

That's it for now. I look forward to seeing you on the site again soon.

Best,

John Hammell

(PinkFloyd's post ^^ is a bit glitched with the postbit.... :O)Yeah. Don't know why that was.

I simply opened it and saved it and it sorted itself out.

Durned technology. :crazy:
