Forum outage

[jonny]

i blame labour

Well, during the outage I rediscovered all kinds of things. Stuff like going for a walk and wondering at the beauty of nature, singing in the shower, the simple pleasure of a dewy morning....




Ahh bollocks. No I didn't. I cried most of the weekend and stole my children's halloween Haribos.

(I am pretty sure though that the 300,000 hits an hour was from people desperately searching for my Sunday night sales thread, that never was. Still, I have lots of goodies lined up for the next one.)
:)

:D :lol: :lol: :lol:

Great

[Crispin]

Feel like I've gone cold turkey over the past few days - great to have access to my addiction again, thanks Eddie.

Cheers

Crispin

Glad to see you are back up and running i though it was my computer on the blink ! :D

[norris]

Good to be back. SWMBO is obviously even happier!! :wink:

[smudge597]

Hallelujah!

[Clem]

Well done for getting it sorted. 8)
Just a bummer that some toss pots can wreak havoc with anothers' business and cause disdurbance to so many other dependants.
"Funny old game Saint!"

[Pro Tempore]

Definately great to have the forum back - I have tried to pm someone & post in the for sale forum but get a 'server error' - Do I need to do something to clear my system down as everyone else can clearly post (?) - Cheers ... Paul

[jneds]

So pleased things are sorted and sorry for Eddie at the no doubt significant loss of business from this "prank".

Don't realise how much you miss something till it's taken away :( ........but then returned. :D :bounce:

We'll try to help make it up somehow ;)

Indeed - I ordered 2 straps this afternoon.

[uptheaddicks]

Glad you’re back up now.

Could have also been one of those that have been banned from the forum of late

+2
Not had withdrawal so bad since I gave up smoking

[Cynar]

Is it just me, or are others getting a lot of internal server errors?

[Daz]

It's not just you.

[Born T]

Sounds scary. Well, at least the Forum is now back and we can enjoy it once more.

[mrteatime]

same here.....

[Chris_in_the_UK]

Hmm - bit wobbly for me as well :(

[Argee1977]

It's happening way too often these days, the government and agencies should be worried about this more than spending their time with people downloading a song. In my time on the internet i've seen a few sites hit like this and it might look like a prank, but in reality it's organised crime and others trying to get into secure information, or to just cause mayhem.

[angeche]

It is the first time I have been able to enter tz and it is not yet 100% normal. Scary, really scary.

yep.....i blame labore

[lordridley]

Those responsible should be gassed.

Good to have the forum back. Missed the banter over the weekend.

Great, back again. Cybersabotage. Glad to see it's all up and running again. Thanks.

[Rowley]

Pleased to see you're back up. Sadly my lurking days will have to come to an end until I've found 23 more things to comment on in watch talk - the only forum I can enter it seems.

[MMC]

Cor - that was scary. Had to go out there and get a life over the weekend instead of peering on here for hours :D

Good to see it all back - nice one for sorting everything out again.

[soapy]

i thought it was my computer and tried loads of things to get it working :shock:

[ChopChop]

Aaaand relax........ :D :D Keep it 'up' Eddie!

[stowaJLCfan]

Glad normality has been restored, must say having to browse other watch forum over the last few days confirms how bad they are compared to TZ.

[secmar44]

Sorry Eddy, happy to see you back!

[davide]

Pleased to see you back.

What always amazes me about these malicious attacks is that they are such a waste of obvious talent that could be used to a lot of good. You only live once - why waste it being a tosser?

Is that not the very definition of being a tosser though?

Thanks for getting it sorted Eddie, you're a credit to an otherwise crappy world

[westy]

It's not just you.

same here.....

Fantastic to be back up and running again!! :shock: 8) :shock: 8)

But, I too keep getting the server errors. :(
A small price to pay for (almost) normality! :lol:

[fayed]

It was a long wait. Now I can start working on my 25 posts again

[Snipe]

I'm still having problems - something to do with lack of bandwidth - but back on now. Thought I was going to have to have a conversation with SWMBO for a minute! :shock: :D

[MartynJC (UK)]

Darn it - i nearly had to start having a 'real' life - now I can get on with what really matters!

[Der]

Welcome back... but I suspect all is not well yet, as there are still intermittent 'exceeding bandwidth limit' messages... bloody w***ers.

Unfortunately, it doesn't require a huge amount of 'talent' to do this and will become more prevalent, although tools for preventing or at least mitigating disruption are getting much better (expensive though)...

Anyhow, hopefully they'll leave the site alone and crawl back under the rock they came from...

Best wishes,
Der

[BEZELBOY]

Eddie,

Apart from suffering the angst, not being able to connect until today,
Sorry to hear of the attacks on the site, I missed TZ and everybody over the weekend, however I knew there would be a substantial reason for the outage, but at the same time as a true Yorkshireman myself, I had this picture in my mind of you being stubborn-just to face out any perpertrators!

Thanks for getting all of us on line again :D

Andy

[Loddonite]

Thank goodness the site is back - you wouldn't believe the amount of Ikea furniture I put up while it was down.

[SimonK]

Well the forum (TZ-UK) is working OK for me, but when I try to connect to Timefactors.com it just times out, is there still a problem?

[Steve264]

Good to be back. Sad to see such c*ntishness ruin our innocent fun. :?

Cheers,
Steve

[jk103]

Good to see it's back and running. Cruising the other forums shows what a great place this is. Hopefully the attack was random and not a vengeful act by one of the recent banned speedposters. Pics of the week is back too almost missed them.

[unkychris]

Well the forum (TZ-UK) is working OK for me, but when I try to connect to Timefactors.com it just times out, is there still a problem?

Yep, same problem for me.

[markrlondon]

It's great to see TZ-UK back online.

Well done to Eddie, to his hosting company, and anyone else who contributed to the effort.

[wicheda]

Absolute f*ckers, having a few websites myself I can agree with how stressful it is to have them down, whatever the reason.

Fantastic to see it back up though! Great work Eddie / hosting company! :o

[bandylegss]

What an awful weekend.

Saturday Night I had to sit and watch X-Factor with my lovley wife, Iona!...

Sunday Night I had to sit and watch X-Factor run-offs with my mouth taped shut!

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :cry:

Mike.

Have you no books or a radio :lol:
:wink:

[Daddelvirks]

Glad to see it's working again after a good night's sleep :)

Cheers,

Daddel.

[darrenw]

Thank you Eddie, the internet really was much duller without TZ-UK :)

Glad to see its all over and everything is back to normal.

[AlphaOmega]

That smoking analogy was spot on - you don't realise how deeply you're hooked until somebody takes it away!

Sorry to hear of the travails and tribulations Eddie, hope things are sorted :)

[CamCG]

Glad that the forum seems to be up and running okay.

The interruption in access just makes you to appreciate TZ all the more.

Some of the other forums are fine, but they just don't seem to have the same sense of a relaxed and genial, yet well-informed, community that TZ does. Either they are far too uptight and over-managed (WUS) or nice but specialised (Rolex forum).

Long may the bad people (i.e. hackers) stay away!

[rincewind]

Nice to see the forum back online. It's been a struggle to fill my working day without it :-)

[Chairman LMAO]

Phew... :roll:

[dennisf]

I'm glad that the forum is back online.. On other forums people were getting quite nervous :lol:
