For the last four days I have been unable to get access to the store or the forums. All I get is an error message. Anyone else is getting the same?

Thanks.

No I made an order last night and been on the forum today.

OK. Thanks for the clarification.

The issue is mine, I guess.

No wait! I haven't been able to get access either! started this morning though.

My guess is that he's still fighting off attacks, because they don't appear to have really let up on PheroTruth either and when I did try lowering the defense level after the first attack and us being down for 2 days we were then hit with a SQL injection attack within 1 hour of dropping the defense level.

It costs an extra $200 a month that I really don't need to be spending, but the alternative is to shut the forum down or let these fucks cripple the server and my web design business at will.

Here's a 7 day analytics and attack report on PheroTruth, and this is probably really much lower than actual too, because of CloudFlare updates in progress.:

Jeeze Mark! That's just seven days! That's crazy! Isn't there an internet "police" to go beat up the bad guys? Someone needs to kick those nerf herder's a$$e$

Thanks for all your hard work and for keeping the site up and running at the extra expense - we all appreciate it

Yeah I think so, but their probably out on a long, long coffee and donut break.

Actually, I think Mara was going to report the attacks, but the reality is that they probably won't even try to look into it and could care less.

Welcome to the Wild Wild West's newest frontier......the internet!

Mark for situations like this, is it out of the question for a donation bar or something. Your not the only that wants to see this place still running.

The offer is more than appreciated, but yeah its out of the question. The affiliate commissions usually cover or come close to covering what the server runs, and I could always host a few more of my client's websites on this server too, if need be.

The only time I'd ever even consider asking for donations from you folks were if it was going to go to a truly worthy cause or family, and that ain't me.

But, if you want to donate, the next time you see a homeless person on the street with a sign asking for money, stop and give them a couple of dollars or something, because you don't know how they ended up where they are or how much it might mean to them.

Hey Nutrix can you please double check and tell me what is happening to you when you try to load the sites. Also from what country are you trying to access ?

The sites (store, forum and such) are online from several destinations worldwide and loading fast as usual.
No slow downs and no problems.

There was 5 min downtime for the forum due to a forum upgrade and thats it ;)



For now only China is blocked.
But this block will be removed very soon.


Also in the future you can all use this service
http://www.isup.me/pheromonexs.com
http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/pheromonexs.com.html

to check if a site is up or down.

;)
