Title: So where did the site go for a vacation the last 15 days?
Post by: ORCoaster on January 20, 2020, 10:28:10 pm

So can anyone tell us why the site was off the grid for so long?

Is there any plan to make it more secure so that we are not hit with DOS attacks or whatever from the folks that seem to have an issue with diesels?

 Glad to see it back up and running.

Don't know what happened to it, I'd just like to say "thanks" to whoever keeps setting it back up each time it falls over.

the web dev that made a code to reset it was on vacation so unfortunately I couldn't access it, have a better workaround now that should reset automatically.

As soon as he's done with some other stuff security on here will get stepped up (we have to transfer to another server among other things, the sites really outdated but we don't want to destroy/reformat it all in the process). It's all fully backed up with a few copies so no worries there. Basically the problem is the servers so outdated that it overloads and needs reset, rather than a full on ddos attack.

I'm not tech savvy on the coding side of things so I'm limited in terms of abilities on this stuff, sorry for the delay on the reboot.
