ATS down for at least 4 hrs today

ATS was down for over 4 hours for me today (im in the uk) , downforeveryoneorjustme.com confirmed it. I was starting to think it had something to do with the US government shutdown

Anyone else have this problem?

Well it was longer than 2 hours,i think-but i was busy with other sites+chores also,so maybe it came back intermittently.

edit on 1-10-2013 by PhoenixOD because: (no reason given)

ATS on twitter made reference to a cyber attack. By whom? Why now?

I got up around 6am this morning (Pacific standard time) and ATS was down. I checked and it was down for everyone; so I waited an hour and now it is back up.

I gotta have my ATS!...

Other threads show it might have been down since 11pm last night

Yeah same here...I was like, NO WAY!! what did the colonel say??!!

I've been trying for the past 3 hours and still can't access via IE but accessed just now through Chrome.

I was thinking it was because of John B Alexander lol.....to many tough questions unanswered?

My girlfriend told me the US government was shutting down this morning so i tried to log onto ATS only to find it wasn't there..!! I thought that was a hell of a coincidence lol

Yes... Here are the stats chaps and chapesses.



I heard on the grapevine it was something to do with the Syrian Electronic Army... Something to do with OpBlackout....

Peace,

Korg.

It was down for around 6hours or more.
Syrian army is a bs excuse, why would they take down a site that supports them?
the mods are lying and the mod backed accounts are backing them up.
Sorry ATS, its pretty obvious your colors are showing!

What are they lying about? Being under attack? GLP is also under attack and down. Are you saying that ATS is in cahoots with GLP? Side note ... what are 'mod backed accounts'??? You mean the moderators??

Yep, same thing here in Holland. There was a moment that I thought I was banned for life because of an insulting and sensitive reply/ post.

But I was not...

you still have EDIT time to change your thread title from 2 hours to 8 hours...

I was having trouble getting back on ATS last night and my TV was shutting down ever few minutes just kept going black screen and no channels would come on

The same happened to me this morning, I suppose when they said today was the end of the world, for two hours it actually was.
