You gonna use your mad skillz and your Commodore 64?

I logged in early, and then just left. Three hours later, and all is well.

Hey, don't knock my rig!
With cutting edge games like this!


I still have my C64 in the attic, ran about 3 years ago, LoL.

I think its the user. Since Im an Emergency worker, Im around heavy metal ambulances, fire trucks, cop cars, city vehicles, over head beams etc. Sometimes I also drive a different type vehicle on a particular day like car or medical rig. All that being said...Im assuming youre in one location. Maybe not and youre experiencing the same slow-load on phone or tablet in multiple locations.

Assuming youve cleared history, cookies, cache and cleaned everything frequently as suggested with virus scanning etc...then all the locations, devices, traffic online, time of day, wifi or data locations and usage...it can be anything or anyone as suggested by my examples stated above...or some combination of all of them..can slow you down here and elsewhere.

In the past...Ive had trouble at times sitting right next to my partner or other co-workers going to ATS at the same time as me. Me or they, have had slow ops whereas the other did not. Same place, same time, same and/or different browsers.

I think since it doesnt happen to all of us, all the time, nor in the same locations and under the same conditions...that it is an individual thing. I suggest the normal cleaning and clearing, possible restoration, rebooting etc that we all must do over time. But ATS itself is fine here and has been for me...

Hence my suggestion here. If you leave multiple windows open, save a lot, bookmark a lot, shutdown on leave on, or go to standby mode...all of it and the cookies and cache it takes to hold or stay in place...can hang you up.

Good luck to you! Best...MS

S.O. was on another thread and he said it was another attack.

Not to say that what you said doesn't have merit at times.

Use the Grue repellant!!!!!!

Talk about flashback, I remember playing this when it first came out in like 82 or 83, for weeks and weeks straight.

There was another, more creative, system attack. We're on it.

www.abovetopsecret.com...

When I was unable to log-in this morning I was getting a strange message each time I would try which didn't look credible.

The message said...

"There was a serious error, please refresh and try again."

Is this an actual ATS message, or is there a virus I now need to be concerned about? I ran an MB scan, but it didn't pick anything up.

I'm familiar with almost quite literally 10,000 different game titles... and had never seen Space Tazi LOL

You are L33T

a reply to: angeldoll

Yes...I read that too. I shouldve added that. I dont believe it affected everyone of us, everywhere and on every device*.

*(I for one, use 3 different devices and browsers throughout the day visiting ATS sometimes 10 times throughout my waking hours...and have zero issues mostly)

Thanks for the additonal info about the attack!

a reply to: stosh64

Thank you Stosh. Noted!

Glad I could share the joys of space taxi with you.

I was a pro at that when I was 15.
But I had to use one of these.

a reply to: SkepticOverlord

imho, S.O., Springer, et al

There are enough folks who passionately care about ATS hereon . . . I suspect . . .

that it might well be possible to get enough people to sign up for $15 to $200/month voluntary but pledged and faithful payments to take care of the

MITIGATION fees.

I'd suggest getting folks to sign up for 150% of the high end projected fees just to cover problems with whatever percentage of individual commitments month to month.

But if that were taken care of in such a fashion, would that help make your task and challenges significantly easier, at all?

I suspect it might.

To ATSers, Am I right, or off the wall?

a reply to: IgnoranceIsntBlisss

Whatever happened to

Stix or Quix or some such game . . . erratic lines crossing the screen . . . had to avoid getting zapped somehow. Was the only game I was interested in.?

a reply to: Mianeye

Earlier today, it was very bad. Never experienced anything like that . Not sure was is going on. Now the connection has improved.

Just for that post, right there...I love the bones of you. It was EXACTLY what I was thinking.

Attack me and mine, expect everything back a thousandfold!

Thank you True! I certainly would reciprocate that sentiment. I was hoping that there were others who felt as passionate as I did at that moment.

I have always been protective of my friends and family and so many here have become my friends and extended 'virtual' family. I see those same traits in you from your posting history.

In lieu of a star I will give you a virtual ((HUG))!
