Dear Members we are currently under a massive DDoS attack that has consumed 1 Terabyte of bandwidth in only a couple of days ..
Mate...they were claiming a DOS attack on April 8 but had not updated anything since then...

Hello brothers,
We faced in the last days a very wild DDOS attack which caused us to close the main forum for some testing purposes. Please rest assure that we still have a backup of our previous forum, so we didn't lose anything.
Kindest regards,

Dear brothers,
I'm not disappeared. I'll try to explain what happening lately and what we try to do.
In the first days of this problem, we got too much visitors and they exceeded the website resources, while we're a new forum, we didn't expect that the visitors could exceed this limit under any means. While checking the logging tables, we discovered a very huge range of IPs from all countries trying to do DDOS attack. we blocked it manually for many days and we blocked some countries but that didn't solved the problem, we had hundreds of DDOS IPs . The website host suspended the account because of reaching and exceeding our resources. Everytime we open the forum, it keep loading on the server even while blocking too much IPs range. we updated the forum version because of some updates in "Apache" servers, may be our latest version caused the problem of this unusual loading, but as usual, the problems persisted.
I opened this forum to :
1- test the database and many plugin and their working log.
2- check the IPs activities.
3- we will transfer our database to this new version, if there is no problem we will continue here, if not, we'll keep it private.
This week the forum will working fine.Last edited by Mr. White; 20-06-12, 12:35.

whatever the story may be, TRaderzone Admin, never asked money from any of its members and have now disappeared , so whosover is planting that story is ill minded and with ulterior motive. For the time being, it is no more, and no point in debating.
PEACE

So now my suspicion is verified, it was the same guy behind both speculationm@sters and traderszone. Admin,T-rex,veteran,cleopatra,tycoon are the same person.Last edited by Mr. White; 22-06-12, 11:45.

Hello Every Body !!!
Within the very first days of this issue, we bought an excessive amount of site visitors and in addition they maxed the site resources, although we're the latest online community, we failed to assume that the site visitors might exceed this reduce within almost any means. I decided they might take action this way at some point as soon as they bought adequate "goodies".
