Is anyone else having problems with the board right now?

It's Obama hired campaign site hackers. They are paid to Denial of Service the site or keep flooding it with traffic.

The man will do anything to get elected.

Come on, guys. For those getting frustrated at it, just give it time.

I'm having the same problems as well. I use Firefox but I don't think that matters. Its more than likely a server glitch.

I'm about to log out of ATS after I post this and I suggest everyone else who reads this do the same. Stop refreshing your pages, stop posting and just log out. That will put less strain on the servers and it will allow the Administrators to figure out what the problem is and fix it easier.

I'd say just check back in a few hours.

I doubt anyone will take that advice but oh well.

It seems much better now
I was going to say the
END TIMES ARE HERE
but.. I gave the guys in Tech a chance to do their thing

Yep, and Yep. Kinda made me ponder........ what did I last post? Was it actionable?

I've seen similar outages on other forums I frequent, most notably a weather forum. It happens.

Now. Should we fabricate a conspiracy around it? kidding, I'm kidding.

I just finished up waiting and trying twenty minutes to log in, and then when I did post, it doubled...hmm...I'm all for net slow downs, but it was kinda weird. Seems to be ok now...I hope

AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH you #######!

I just lost an entire whole hours mega thread! I thought the MiB were coming to get me!

I had problems too...I thought it was my home computer, because it occurred exactly when I got home....seems good now...

All is well now. I think that China hacked in through the Cisco routers. Pure speculation, of course.

Rush

seems ok now, 8:12 pacific standard time

I have firefox running too, I can say the same.
I think to many people were on, busy etc.

Nothing nefarious, it seems. Just a minor(?) server problem.

All betta' now.

Carry on.

Well, at least now I know what the "Delete all Threads" button does... Sorry.

Yes I experienced problems posting yesterday as well.

Amazing..I log off last night just before the # hits the fan.

BILL, did you push the wrong button???

Yeah, I've got a problem with the Boards at the moment, there are these anonymous posts that keep on popping up...oh, sorry, different problem!
