I know. The forums have only been functioning very little for me since Thursday night. Very annoying.

I thought it was just me until I just saw a 3 hour discrepancy in the times on the most recent posts

it's been doing this for a week now

From what I understand it's from a DDOS attack.

Upgrade your servers AnandTech!

There's a thread in FI that just contains rampant speculation. I want people posters to know that they are not alone and that the problems they are experiencing wiht ATOT are not client side

went strait to the server, no problems when the site was down.

Somebody keeps SYN flooding the server. Some idiot child no doubt. :thumbsdown:

It wasn't just ATOT, but all of AT went down this time.

Why don't they just block that IP range?

They are spoofed IP's for every packet... very hard to fight this type DOS attack. 🙁
