DF.com really slow lastnight, anyone else had a problem?

[Nathan]

lastnight i found the forum to load extremely slow an then i went an saw if it was my internet an went to another site then couldnt get back onto the site, before i logged off i looked at how many users were online, i hadnt seen so many all on at the same time, around 10.30pm lastnight.

just curious as to if anyone else had this problem!

Seemed ok to me...but I just noticed that aquaticgardensaustralia seems to be getting redirected to fox studios or something like that. Is that just me? Looks like they have been hacked?

[shewey]

hmmm...wierd. problem must be at my end.

try deleting all your temp internet files an cookies an clear history, you can do this by right clicking on the internet explorer icon then go to properties, see if that helps

argh, just did a google and looks like there is a virus that redirects you to foxmovies. Pretty strange, we have so many firewalls and AVs running here that nothing usually gets through. I'll run a full system scan.

Cheers,

We are aware of this. Just like what happenned with the Cichlid City website 2 days ago, some fools on another Australian aquarium forum ran a series of pings on the server which slows the sites down. What they dont realise is the ip addresses of the culprits are known, and they arent only delaying this site, but several others which has annoyed a lot of people that have nothing to do with whatever they were trying to achieve.

AGA is fine, no viruses or malicious code was found on the server anywhere.
