Is this site under attack?

At the moment it is pretty responsive on this side of the pond. 10:20 UTC

Is this a far-fetched idea?

opposite to what was said here it is very well possible that one person without any huge infrastructure can slow this site down.
So this is not a far-fetched idea but not more likely than shared server prob or a database bug. I suppose it NOT to be a "natural " load prob tho.

Jorge answered my email yestrerday and told me the server was down an off for a while and a announced the restart for this morning. Now it's running again, as he promised.

So that's what Mr. Laden has been up to in his hidey-hole! I say we commission Byuphoto to hunt the rascal down and cut his bloody modem cable!

Glad you caught on to that dadsm3. I was startin' to suspect the servers were just gettin' full of cat-avatar hair.

Hey joe, can you change my i.d. to "headless chicken"?

Fast or slow, I love this place. Ya gotta admit, this is more fun than a bucket of root canals!

Think I'll take a Zorki for a walk. Last day of contest? Get to it boys!!

Not to sound paranoid, but while this site seems to be A-OK today - is anyone else getting an error message when they try to connect with the APUG site?

Confirmed, 10:32 am GMT -5 from the US "Right" coast.
 
I also have been unable to visit RFF for some time except a few minutes of very slooooooow connections. Today was the worst day ever for me with RFF.
 
Could not get in earlier this evening (i.e b/w 8PM and 10:30PM US ET). Now able to do so.

This site does seem to be under sporadic "misbehavior" (or as our friends up north would say: "misbehaviour").
 
Okay...RFf was totally out of commission for most of today (Friday). Happy to see it's back now, but what was up with this? A server move? maintenance/tweaking downtime? Or something less predictable?

ehhh, naaa. too long. I'd mispell chicken half the time (which I just did). But hey, how about... ol' ghost ... for real. I still can't hardly remember CVBwhatever. It was a meaningless temp idea and all them capitals seem to yell at me. If I wanna get yelled at I'll tell my Sweetness there's a Zorki.1 in the mail. Come to think of it, if I want to be called "headless chicken" I could go the same route. 🙄

Yeah, unless it's a bunch of trouble, a year of CVetc. is enough.
 
what was up would be the many many people who waited until today to post their contest shots - predictable. Combine that with a server move, and there you have it : slowness.
