Site outages. and some planned maintenance coming

All--
I apologize for the site outages lately (a few hours the other day, off-and-on this morning, etc. We've had some technical difficulties including a bunch of offshore hackers trying to use prince.org to probe other sites (unsuccessfully, but they slowed the site to a crawl).

I also need to do some site maintenance tonight... so expect some downtime. If we're lucky, it'll be less than an hour.

Thanks for your understanding!

Good luck with the maintenance

Didn't The Pirate Bay experience similar problems from hackers?

Maintenance complete! All went well, as far as I can tell...

BUT, this was pretty major upgrading I did, so stuff will almost invariably be broken. Please let me know by posting in this forum, and optionally orgnoting me.

Thanks!

Was there another glitch? It took over 15 minutes for the site to re-load. It's been happening a lot. sad

Are the hacker back?

If someone has hired a "hacker" to cause problems for the site, they appear to have hired an incompetant one, the same as everyone else they seem to have hired has been incompetant too

Yeah, really slow. At first I thought it was just me, but then I went to other sites and had no problem with it. I noticed that some threads are showing as "0" views too when they've had plenty of replies.

Why not try and make a valid contribution to a thread instead of telling people to delete their account or "jog on"?

Much more constructive
