AlenK Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I couldn't access it for days. Maybe it was just a problem on my end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokeyman123 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I noticed a problem the last few days too AlenK-would flash a message the website was too busy, try again later. I'd click the link again and it would come up the 2nd or 3rd time, or not at all. so it wasn't just you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

- T - Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I have been getting sporadic "Bad response from server" messages with increasing frequency over the last several days. Then it went down completely late yesterday evening, until just a short while ago, and that message was all I would get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Martin Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 According to the host, the site was being hit by a ddos attack. This was flooding the server, preventing most of us from connecting. Quote A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is an attempt to make an online service unavailable by overwhelming it with traffic from multiple sources. They target a wide variety of important resources, from banks to news websites, and present a major challenge to making sure people can publish and access important information. Everything seems to be moving slowly back to normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokeyman123 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I am just wondering out loud, who would bother to do this, and for what reason? Doesn't someone need some pretty powerful computer resources to do this? Glad we noticed it and posted after all. Thanks for checking in on this Mike. Still love that privia T-shirt!

Exactly if I have to guess it must be those pesky bots. I've read that there are many types of them which differ from news , adds and miscellaneous malware etc. Casioforum is doing well by the numbers of people signing in and that draws attention.
