8 hours, as far as I know. I was on at 3:30 AM ET and they were all complaining about it being down. |

Yes 8 hours is about accurate for the down time now. I've been online since our forum first went down.

This is the exact reason I had to move my board from ZB. I really enjoy the ZB platform and most forums I am active on are ZB (many down atm )but for the type of forum I ran excessive downtimes nearly ruined a clan match.Wish you guys luck! |

I don't know about 8 hours - our service has been intermittently affected for more than 24 hours now. Our site was first reported down by one of our contributors at around 14:00 GMT yesterday. It was flaky all yesterday pm, and has been completely down all day today. It's now 17:00 GMT. Could we get some sort of update from Zetaboards staff? Sorry, but MMASCC's suggestion of finding a different hosting opportunity is looking increasingly attractive right now. |

Guys, guys. Please clam down, I know this is extremely frustrating. I have a board on the affected server. But the thing about DDoS attacks is that due to their nature they are hard to counter. As the server and any protection is flooded by many IPs at the same time, the protection (and humans) can not tell which IPs are legitimate and which IPs are malicious. This is not a time we should be turning against another member. EDIT: I have removed posts that dealt with the fighting and name calling. Edited by Aaron, Nov 17 2014, 01:16 PM.

You explain it to them by saying that your board host has issues at times that are out of your control. If they don't accept that answer there's not much else you can do. It doesn't make you or your members who referred people look bad if your honest because honestly there's nothing you as a board owner can do in this situation. I'm not meaning to come across as rude and apologize if I am. The point I'm trying to make is we've all made posts like yours at one time or another out of pure frustration and have been in your position but eventually realize that we're at the mercy of ZB's servers and know our data isn't transferable so we're all in the same boat waiting for things to be resolved. It's hard when your new to running a board and have no idea or not much of an idea on how to do a lot of things. I was lucky enough to start around here when things were more active so there were more people around to explain things when people made posts asking for help. I completely understand about not always getting replies in a timely manner or at all when it comes to tickets and such and it is frustrating. The answer we all get when complaining is that these services are free to use, that the staff who answers tickets and are Admins/Mods here on the board are all volunteering their time without being paid and that they try their best to do what they can. There are still quite a few other members who've been around a long time that answer questions people ask in the various sections too it just takes time sometimes.

I don't know why you guys are slagging off Zetaboards. It's not their fault some moron from outside is bringing down the server/s. I'm sure they are doing all they can to fix this. I have been with them for 10 years in a couple of weeks and they are great people to deal with. I have nearly 14,000 members wondering what is going on but I'm not worrying.

I just posted an update, but wanted to make sure you saw it. The server's been under attack for several weeks now and we've been defending it constantly. Occasionally, as you can see by past announcements, our defenses can't keep up. This however, is the first time that the scale of the attack has grown to such a ridiculously huge level. |

You removed my post that was responding to a comment a user made about me, however it also had information in there relevant to the topic. Again I was not attacking or name-calling only stating an observation. |

Due to the nature of other posts that followed it / comments about it, it has been removed no one has been warned or punish but I am just trying to keep the peace, my post was directed to the community as a whole not a single person. |
