• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

  • Server side Maintenance is done. We still have an update to the forum software to run but that one will have to wait for a better time.

Trolling ba$%rd bots!

The attacked ports and some the IP addys are interesting, and where they go back to...I still have to ask...why?!

That's the only thing to do Ickie, until they get fed up and move on, or if it is someone (the same as before?) directing it, they realise there's no point.

It's a shame for our Gallic friends though.

I've long suspected that attacks like this are done for practice by novices who don't yet have the skills or confidence to go after big commercial sites with expensive, high-end security, or with the economic heft that would make messing with them a serious offense for anyone caught doing it. Maybe success attacking sites like this adds to a resume for one who's hoping to join big time, big money cyber criminal gangs.

On the other hand, maybe it's someone who's annoyed because they got caught trying to spam the forums here, or got humiliated when they got caught pirating files, or falsely accusing others of pirating files.
