We are currently experiencing a Denial-of-Service attack because someone posted something in one of the non-Technical forums that upset some hackers elsewhere. We are working dilligently on the issue and hope to have everything restored and back to semi-normal shortly.Thank you for your patience and continued support!-Wayne

The site may load..........may not.

Hopefully, you can resolve it.

Working on it, thanks again for your patience.

Yes, when I typed in in Diesel Discussion - PeachParts Mercedes ShopForum it would not open.

I was able to get in by typing: PeachParts Mercedes ShopForum - Powered by vBulletin and then slecting what Forum I wanted.

A useful site: http://peachparts.com Is Up -> Check if your website is up or down?

Interesting, I was wondering why the site had gone down. a DOS attack is a pretty pathetic attack.

Next poll - how frequently during the outage did you check if PP was back up?

What was the "offending" thread?

A post from a non tech forum - offended hackers.

Gee....I wonder what forum that could have been......

On THAT forum - there must be about a 100 posts a day that could OFFEND someone.

THAT forum has been around pretty much from the get-go and today someone is offended?

Like the previous poster - I'd love to know what it was that set Mr. Hacker off.

Wayne,
You must have the site down briefly most days. Often when I go to post, I get a page saying that PP is down for maintenance & to try again later. As there is the time difference to here, I probably post at times when things are very quiet on your side of the pond.
Maybe its just as Jim mentions from time to time "a full moon!"
