Logging into Subsim difficult/ server issues 12/10/05
 

For me, Subsim stops working at the exact same time, every night...

2:00AM (US Pacific Standard Time)

I can't post, read posts, sign in, or even visit the site. And now more than ever, subsim is beginning to have more "blackout" times. There are other times during the day that I cannot go on.


Is anyone else having problems, or is it just me? Try and give an approximate "blackout" time if your problem is recurring at the same time everyday.

Same thing.

I'm assuming just temporary server maintenance or downtime. Certainly a bummer, but what can you do?

That´s already discussed here

Ooops, sorry for the redundant thread... I only visit the SH3 forums.

Im kinda wondering if the sites been under a DOS attack. Sure has behaved like it at times.

geez... it just went down again.

Same problem here, every day this week at many diferent hours.

:hmm:

Yup...this site goes up and down like a bride's nightie.

/tinfoil hat theory #1


Somebody who frequents here has a nasty worm they dont know about that launches a DOS attack.

Only happends when they turn on their computer.


/tinfoil hat theory #2

Someone at X1 software has a Friend doing a favor for him and is hitting subsim with a DOS attack.

But at the same time every 24 hours?

That's highly unlikely, unless the person has a ritual habit of visiting subsim at the same time everyday.

But it could explain the random "downtimes"...

shouldnt this be moved to genral topics

I never visit general topics... :roll: :roll:

why not?

Cuz I only like SH3.. Not general stuff.. :yep: :lol:

As it seems to affect everyone on all of the forums (including this one) I am inclined to leave it here.
