YES!!!
I can now come out of the corner and put down my bottle of wine.

Hats of to Rover and crew.

Thank you for all you have done and all the time you spent.

Rover:

I love you in that "lets have a good single malt and cigar together" kind of way. Embarassed

Hang on ninjas! - While i have enabled the forum via 419eater.com all this is is a stress test! - I'm 1/2 expecting the system to fall over.. if it does not GREAT!

30 min's into it with the attack still in full swing we seem... <--- Seem to be holding up okay! - the next couple of hours is going to be interesting

I got the page cannot be displayed, perhaps it's because of where I am or my ISP? LMK if you want me to try anything.

Edited to say I can get to the main page and letters and other stuff but not the forum. Maybe my ISP's DNS hasn't updated yet?

The forum is loading fine for me, it was lagging when loading the page for the last few minutes, seems fine again now, though.

I am in just fine, not a hitch whatsoever...knock on wood. Time is 19:30 EST.

Same here! Laughing

So far so good! - the server is holding out just fine! - in fact cpu usage is at .03%

For those who are unable to use forum.419eater.com - this is normal! - it can take up to 24 hours to propagate - in the mean time keep using ninjaforce (they both lead to the same place anyway)

I can't get to the new address yet, but ninjaforce was REAL slow in loading for me this time....

Posted: Sun Sep 30, 2007 12:08 am

I can access both, and they're both slow. I guess that's a symptom of the present situation.

Posted: Sun Sep 30, 2007 12:16 am

I'm here!

My connection is blazing fast at the moment. What you will find is that the connection will initially be a little slow but as you move through the forums it will speed up. Thanks for the feedback

I'm in and took it for a test drive. Everything seems to be working great. It had a few slow spots in the beginning, but now it seems up to full speed.

Congrats Rover.

Still can't get in through the main address, hopefully tomorrow...

Meanwhile I just sent a Paypal contribution per Perse's instructions (no pun intended!) Very Happy

Posted: Sun Sep 30, 2007 12:50 am

the main address is http://forum.419eater.com <---- THATS IT! - some people may have it book marked as <strike>http://forum.419eater.com/forum</strike> Please check your bookmarks as the second url is wrong

I get a loop back to 127.0.0.1 for the forums (using the new link)...

Posted: Sun Sep 30, 2007 1:11 am

That means that your upstream DNS has not propagated yet. I had set the DNS to 127.0.0.1 - however as of this afternoon 10:00pm GMT I have changed it! I'm sure your upstream DNS will propagate within the next 12 hours or so. In order to make sure you are picking up the latest from your dns (if you are running Windows XP) do a ipconfig /flushdns - while this command will NOT force your up stream dns provider to refresh it will force your machine to refresh. I think it might work on win98 as well.

Thanks Rover... I flushed... but no joy... I guess I'll need to be patient...

Cheers for the great job!

Yup! Once the cache was filled, things began blazing along.

^^^ You could also try using OpenDNS.

http://www.opendns.com/

I use it and love it.

Posted: Sun Sep 30, 2007 1:42 am

opendns is great - a little slow but it works quite well!

@KD glad you are seeing better speed out of the system

Please bear in mind though - the attack is still ongoing and in full swing. I am fairly confident however at this stage that we will continue to run. I guess I will breath easier by tomorrow evening
