Saturday, January 7, 2023: antiX Forum outage

[masinick]

The antiX Forum is experiencing issues today; a ticket has been raised.
The site is unresponsive, reports a 503 error, but does not recover.
Don't know the estimated time of fix, moderator/admins notified of outage.

Thanks Brian for the information.

Is it another cease-fire violation @Masinick

[masinick]

Looked like it was back; alas, that is not the case yet.
Web Admin should be contacting me when it's back (I hope).

Whatever causes this (I have my opinions), we're getting swamped with spam attacks every day. The filter blocks stuff, to a point, but as many of you know, brute force web site attacks can affect service, and only major companies, who can put a massive, powerful fortress around their servers, have good success against major attacks.

I have my own theories why it's the antiX Forum, but time will tell the answers.

If you have your theories be sure to share them with the webadmin. The forum is back up and running now, so I am closing this topic.
