Topic: How Many Bike Forums Are Down & Why? I know of 3 Down & 1 Crippled

[bill440cars]

      Are we having a Motorcycle Forum Board Attack by Spammers?
       
       SohcCBs.com has been having some problems for some time now.

       cb450dohc.com has been down for about a couple of weeks, I think.

       hondatwins.com is out of commission for now   

       USA2strokers is the latest on, I just now tried to go there to check on a buddy and couldn't get there. 
 

        Sure makes you wonder just how many folks are out there, that are screwing with us?

Unless people lose interest and let things lapse, I can't see why a site would go offline for an extended period.  There have been a couple of times that we've been hacked - not the forums, but the website - and it usually took a day or so for me to get things back online.  In the past couple of weeks, these forums have had a few problems - I have no idea if it was an 'attack' since I don't have good tools for doing that sort of analysis.  I'm just glad that the SMF (forums) and mediawiki (website) software isn't riddle with security holes like some of the stuff I've used in the past (drupal).

Fingers crossed that it stays business as usual here.

           Glenn, I'm with you on hoping that we keep on truckin' here!
I don't know When the USA2strokers went down cause I don't go there a lot and mainly I go to browse alittle and see if a buddy there, has sent a message to me ( their system doesn't always notify about messages received). Honda Twins just went down this afternoon sometime. The cb450dohc had a pretty good following and all of a sudden, there was no getting on it in any way shape form or fashion! I have NO idea what happened or IF it's coming back! I've got a sickening feeling that it's not. I appreciate your reply Glenn, Take care and A Big Thank You For The Job You Do!

Bill,

I'm not sure about the other links, but I get a security notice on the USA2stroke link when I try it. Seems like it is running on and Intranet (maybe where someone works and the boss found out ).
