main gunboards is the same type of software (vBulliten) and they have been down because of spam attacks for 2 days / I assume they are trying to do a mod and it has not worked...
Jan Still's site is part of main gunboards, but we are on our own server, so not affected.... |

Ahhh - got it... It's not good out there right now... On one of my more active vBulletin forums, below is a screen shot of my SPAM hack log - which is rejecting SPAM registrations at a rate of almost one per minute - with 287 during a 3 hour time period beginning at 1AM last evening .. With all of the rest of the PHP code I installed in the past few days to nuke this - it's *almost* manageable..??

I am guessing they changed the DNS and it has not propagated to our servers here in KSA. This is what I see... |
