the forun is not necessarily the main target it could be dan, no idea why. google the silk road. there will be places somewhere like this where people offer ddos attacks as a paid service
Silk Road was closed down months ago so you'll need to find another supplier for you ------ :)

Well there is still a problem can't edit a post now get a message saying the message is too short when it is well more than the six characters long needed
If part of your post is in quote tags or URL tags etc it doesn't count toward to minimum 6 characters.

Good to see things working again for the most part, the page load times are pretty quick for me tonight

That was uncalled for.

I was editing a long post doing the same has worked before the current debacle and the edit added more than 6 characters

I think some of the security measures are causing some minor problems loading pages I have had to refresh pages a few times before being able to "reply with quote" also had problems with the "multi-quote"

Silkroad 2 was on within hours. Just no weapons or hitmen can be ordered on the new one, apparently. ha

He must have made a lot of cash!

didnt he hire a hitman for something?
 
Not sure about the hitman thing but I did read that he went to extraordinary lengths to repay people that came short when the bitcoins were hacked/stolen by paying 5% of every transaction made into a random victim's account. He was obviously a guy driven by principals rather than just money although I'm sure he made millions from the website.

which the US state then seized as proceeds of crime, as they found all the bitcoin keys (IIRC).
 
that was one hell of a determined DDOS attack you suffered.

I'm thinking the likely culprit would be a state agency practicing their electronic warfare capability and testing out resiliance and responses via sites that are unlikely to have the capacity to track them and expose the culprit.

Or I guess it could be some bored anonymous type with a large bot net at this disposal doing the same practice routine.

Re: just got message that i have been blocked from eledctricians forum while trying t

I had the same thing, seemingly just with one thread. I PMd Dan, and tazz because he was online at the time, and tazz has put it on the staff message board.
 
OK so what the bloody hell is going on with this ''Cloudflare'' security page??

I don't know if anyone else is having similar problems, but it's getting beyond a joke now!!

I'm having to validate every 10 to 15 mins and after every post i make which most of the time i'm losing in the process. I KNOW that my computer(s) are completely virus free, i go on to high security sites many times a day without any problems whatsoever. I don't mind going through a security page to get onto the site but i'm buggered if i'm going to validate every few mins or so....

Soooo, what is the forum administration going to do about it, because if this is going to continue then it's pretty pointless me coming to the site.

This is now the 3rd time i've tried to post this, twice by trying to start a new thread!!!!!!!!!!
