Same here RL, not sure about today, but yesterday Eater was very slow for me. Not complaining, happy to have Eater back even when it is a bit slow and seems to get lost now and then.

Bear with me - Things will be spotty at best for the next couple of days - Although I have brought back the dns - I still need to remove it from time to time if I see even a hint of threat against us. Just hang in there. We will get it all back eventually

I tried to change my email on my profile and got an error message in the process. Was locked out for a couple of hours; emailed Rover so not sure if he fixed it (THANKS IF YOU DID) or if something else was going on and it got resolved.

IF the issue resolved itself THEN I would strongly suggest a change to the forum requiring that the email verification/activation be re-sent any time an account is signed up and/or when the email address on an account is changed.

I'm just glad to be back in though so please understand I'm NOT complaining Cool

Sorry Rover, that was in no way meant to sound like a complaint. You've done a brilliant job and it's great to have the eater back online.

@Rover - how is Scamwarners doing? I've been out a few days so I may have missed something here.... I tried the address posted earlier in this thread, got up the password authentication dialog box, entered the password info that had been sent out for this site last week, but authentication failed, as did my Scamwarners login information. What am I missing?

THANKS!!

@krona - One thing at a time - I am monitoring eater quite closely at the moment - Once that has settled down then I will bring back scamwarners. Hang on a tad longer. I promise I will bring it back I just want to be careful thats all

@Shiver - You - think about changing my avatar! - now are you having a laugh! Laughing

(He's having a laugh!)

Ninja's!

If my calculations are right, I'm expecting the system to be attacked in about 5 hours time - if this happens go back to yuka I will send instructions as to where the server will be.

Hopefully I'm wrong!

I'm arranging for a ranter member to be horsewhipped, tied up, and delivered with a print out of the IP addy shoved down its throat, directly to the ISP head honcho. I haven't picked which one yet; just watching them waddling by and I'll pick the one who bleats the loudest Smile

How did this sound, I'm not great with technical jargon, but I thought it would be better than me saying, yo, murder fulker, stop teh IP attacks Laughing

Hi, can I bring your attention to one of your IP addresses, which is currently being used in a DDoS attack on 2 of our websites, this is the IP address concerned coming from Telus.com:

205.250.213.97

That IP is currently attacking our sites at www.419eater.com and www.scamwarners.com

The attack is persistent, our sites are only getting back to normal after being continuously attacked for nearly 2 weeks, but this IP address in particular, is really persistant in still flooding our sites, obviously it's coming from a computer on which the owner does not know they have downloaded a trojan, which has turned their computer in to a zombie, which is part of the Storm Worm attacks which we are hearing a lot about, both of our sites deal with fighting internet fraud, and is the reason why the Russian fraudsters are attacking us, can you please urgently deal with the IP address 205.250.213.97 to get it to cease, thank you.

Better late than never. I'm one who hadn't changed email addy Embarassed

and had to go hunting. So thanks to Rover & co for all the hard work but a special thanks to Lotta and Stargate. Oh and I would still be floating around cyberspace if it wasn't for ElizaDoolittle, so yet another tribute.

Love and hugs to everyone Embarassed

I'm so happy to be back.
