I don't want to give many details but this one sucked...

I hope this is the last of it... did you happen to notice the "most users online" stat on the bottom of the index page?

People sure have way too much time on their hands that do this.

Bisquitlips · 23 May 2010, 10:59 AM

One can only imagine what this has done to JJ! He may never recover!

Wow that's just crazy. They almost got 3000 on here, I can only imagine what that did to the servers. Well on the bright side this probably cost whoever it was a ****load of money, and we were only offline for three days thanks to admins like you!

Welcome back all!!

PeteNYC13 · 23 May 2010, 11:21 AM

Ahh... good to be back!
I had to hang out with neighbors, talk to live people, play with the dog - it was bad there for a few day!

All the computer stuff is over my head but whoever "attacks" this forum really needs a life.

So glad to be spending my Saturday night here on TRF!

CoopJr · 23 May 2010, 11:26 AM

Anyone else think it could be one of the crooks we expose on the watchout section? Scott...would making the forum closed to unlogged in "Guests" have any benefit to us?

Someone hates us in the watchout section, we have most likely caused a burr up someones butt. So we must be doing our job.

nauticajoe · 23 May 2010, 11:30 AM

Good to see everyone back!

bodybump · 23 May 2010, 11:31 AM

Probably, at least that way there would be some sort of trail...

"Guests" cant post so if they were denied access...we wouldn't miss them anyway. Seems like a win win.

Ahhh, all is well again though!

Hi, Dean!

I am very glad we are back online....

Thank you Stevo!

Fantastic!

therolexguy · 23 May 2010, 12:19 PM

I woke up and had a nightmare that I couldn't look at pictures of awesome Rolexes, talk to people around the world about this passion, and meet a few people......then I woke up and just went to TRF.

multimedia · 23 May 2010, 12:23 PM

Nothing like waking up and being able to log on to TRF again!

Great job guys!!

Cheers,
Joe

Alcan · 23 May 2010, 12:24 PM

Congrats to the company who sorted this one out for you, Steve. Still think the onus is where you indicated?

bobp315 · 23 May 2010, 12:26 PM

And I just thought it was my crappy computer...

Ditto...I thought it was on my end too. I know my IP address was blocked a few months ago. I attempted to get on TRF via my home computer, work computer, iPhone and laptop at Starbucks! No joy.

Thanks for getting back online!

Ear Pain · 23 May 2010, 12:48 PM

Nice to have TRF back online and especially for making a stand against the trolls.......
