“Hey John, what’s going on with the website?”

As many of you have noticed, this website and forum have been on-line and off-line - bouncing like a well hit tee shot in a tile bathroom…. So, what’s going on “behind the curtain”?

This site is being overloaded with unfiltered service requests from overseas which overload the servers (if you Google Distributed Denial of Service, you can find out more.). I'm trying to deal with them as you read this note…..

So, as I work through all this on my end, please be patient and in that, you have my thanks and appreciation…

I’ll bring you up to date as I’m able, ok?

Thanks!

John

It's so bad I noticed some of the familiar names from the PGCA site commenting on the Fox site yesterday.

Thanks John for all you do for us and for having the unique knowledge to know how to do it and keep on doing it despite it sometimes being such a PITA.

Thanks John. It must be frustrating dealing with these losers with nothing better to do then crash sites. I have a solution but it would have big brother breathing down my neck. Whatever we are paying you it's not enough.

Thanks John.
People get so worked up. And needing to post on other sites even every time something happens. ??? Just be patient and it will get worked out.
