    Last night, and the night 2 nights before last at about 7:00pm, Australian Eastern Time zone, when I tried to go on to the forums, it wouldn't load, and after a while, it said 'Server stopped responding' or something like that. I checked mineverse forums and they weren't loading either but then after a few tries, they loaded. I got on. Each time it would start to work in the morning. I know that this happens all the time to the internet, but I'm just wondering if the forums were having maintenance or they were being moved to a new host or something. Please tell me if you know something about this.

    Was not working for me, and I checked in like every 30 minutes on my phone during school until it came back. :p

    The forums was being DDosed earlier. That might be why. I think Cyp and Crew had it all under control though :)

    That means we get DDoSed a good amount, I see the forums go offline at least once every few weeks. :p

    And spam engines, I keep my eye on the recent members. They only attack on Wednesday Mornings from what I see for newest member. Could be wrong.

    I doubt this because I own a XenForo Liscense and it's protected against the most common attacks. There is no way we get DDoSed this often.
    Merks and Crew can shut off the domain. I don't think it is DDoS.
