Are at least a discord channel to inform each other about the status of vbForumsQuote:
Perhaps it might be time to focus and set up a VBForum discord channel just for VB6 users, another for VB.NET &c. I know the TwinBasic users have it so perhaps it is time to move toward better technology...
We had issue at our companies , we cut down China and India users for a while and the now we have that stupid Azure and the attack are mostly from these countries. I've written that here on the first attack on the forum. I get that it's an international forum but I've only seen on person from these countries here. So a test "sacrifice" of the addresses for a day might reveal if this is the issue. Or, you know, continue DOSing.
The IT Guys are working hard on the site issues.
Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack
The intriguing question is, who could want to attack this forum? :confused:Quote:

No it does not go that way. The don't give a rats banuka for the forum. So if I'm correct you have to to block those countries or we will be going like this for a while.
https://www.**********.com/ - we ought to have a spare forum at f o r u m o t i o n so that we have somewhere to go during the frequent site outages we are now experiencing. A discord instance for the VB6 part of the forum would be most welcome. Is this not something the mods would be interesting in initiating?
PS. forum does not like the link - f o r u m o t i o n
Apparently Brazil wants to join us real badly. I say "off with their heads."
The incantation being used by the gods isn't working any more. A new spell to repel is needed.
I've enjoyed this site for so many years...it took eight tries to try and post in . VB .NET :(
And now 12 hours later the site is screaming fast. The IT Guys will continue to monitor etc....Quote:

Lots of errors this morning.
I was going to say that I hadn't seen any...and then I got one when I went into this thread. That's good, I was feeling a little lethargic and low on irony this morning. Now I have the full recommended daily allowance.
And I hope no one overdoses from too many errors... It's being worked on as we speak.
ALL seems well again. The IT Guys are watching the sites like a hawk.
The new CloudFlare firewall in theory should be a game changer.
Someone likes azure services at the moment Ashi, I think it is. In addition, the site has been slow to respond for me. Not consistently but on occasion.
His cousin bot Arwa is here to dispense his pointless Indian call centre / AI bot knowledge. I suppose this a demonstration of the "Dead Net" where bots just talk to each other filling servers with ****.
Yes - we are/were aware of our Ask/Answer Duo Team. They are being dealt with:bigyello:
Notice a slow down yesterday but today started getting 504 error. Just now they are almost constant, took @ 5 tries to open this thread.
We have a sister site that just yesterday-> Most users ever online was 75,743, Today
I created a ticket yesterday.....
Seems good today so far.
About a 50/50 chance of an error when you click on a thread. Also, the post with quote option has been broken the last couple of days. Noticed the users are over 47K+.
Yep. Same.Quote:
