Forum Updates and DDoS attack

  • Thread starter Thread starter Mr X
  • Start date Start date
For some one or group to want to stop discussions on this forum shows that despite our weaknesses where we can say bad things, post off topic or sound like loonies, there are some decent discussions that are not liked simply because we can freely express (to a degree) here.

So a thank you to the mod team to get things up and running again.
 
What happened ? ( just go on now).
Website storage resources have run out. I am in Portugal so I can’t even access my dashboard… So after spending a day out, I was able to phone my hosting company and resolve the issue after long discussion.

I will find a solution when I am back

No DDoS… just ran out of storage as we allow 8mb file for each attachment and members post too many rubbish images that they could have hosted elsewhere leading to very high volume of attachments on this forum that may stay forever.

Thanks for the effort. Might be time to have a purge policy, or add other restrictions.

Hope you enjoy Portgual!! ( I used to live there ).

1 - If you are in Lisbon, you should go here : https://pasteisdebelem.pt/en/ .. The official home of "Pasteis De Nata( Belem!). Large milky latte, and lots of them Pasteis.

2 - Do not order "cozido de portuguesa" ... ever :)

3 - Do have a dish of "Bacalhau" before you leave.

I could go on ....

Can there be a daily quota put on how many MB of images a member can upload ? It will encourage members to be more judicious.
