Is AVSIM undergoing a Denial Of Service attack?!?!?

Recommended Posts

Over the last two days, I have had many

 

OOPS! Sorry, the server is too busy to handle your request, please try again in a moment

 

 messages, with my multiple clicks tried every 15 seconds or so, until I can get into what I was wanting to do, post...edit, etc.

 

I wonder...if since the passing of Tom...has certain ones, from certain parts of the planet,....been trying to bring down, or interfere with AVSIM user-commerce, in any way they can?

I've seen this too - and if you look at the user stats when it happens it shows 0 online or logged in.

Let's hope not!  All is cool here.

I've been getting it lots too. I wonder if this is only affecting people in certain parts of the world?

 

I'm in the UK.

Yes happening in Ireland as well.  Noticed first how slow the threads were moving,  then couldn't get into the site for ages at a time.    I thought Avsim was tired of me and kicked me out  :(
