Due to an ongoing DDoS attack, there may be periodic downtime.

The forum is down due to a hardware issue. Probably back within a couple of hours.

Back.

Unfortunately, looks like password hashes and email addresses were compromised. Probably not PMs, though. Back up in 12-24 hours.

Back online.

Make sure you change your password on the forum and anywhere else you used the same password. More info: bitcointalk.org/index.php?topi…

I noticed a possibly-suspicious irregularity. Due to paranoia, I took down the server just be make absolutely sure that everything is OK.

Probably at least another day of downtime. Sorry.

Back again, hopefully this time for good.

DDoS attack.

The attack seems to have stopped for now, but if there's downtime in the next few days, this is probably the cause.

Certain regions/ISPs cannot reach the forum for some reason, while others work fine. I'm looking into it.

It should be working for everyone now.

Seems to be a DDoS attack after all. There might be periodic downtime until the attack stops or I figure out an effective mitigation.

As far as I can tell, everything is back to normal now. Can anyone still not access the forum?

Fixing some things, should be back soon.

A DDoS is causing slowness and errors, I'm working on it.
