This is list of messages message from the ProBoards support team

Hi,

We've detected an inbound DDoS attempt that is currently causing forums to load slowly or not at all. Our system admins are working to block the attempt to have forums running smoothly again shortly. Our apologies for the inconvenience in the meantime; we'll post more details in this thread when they're available.

As of now, while the DDoS is still ongoing for the moment, it has been mitigated enough to prevent most of the issues that members experienced earlier. Our system admins are still working on this issue to bring everything back to 100%.

Update: It appears that the attempt is becoming more persistent at this time which will again impact loading of forums. Our system admins are still working to combat this issue.

Another update: It appears that much of the DDoS attempts are once again blocked, allowing forums to load better at this time. Our system admins are still working on this issue, however.

If it goes slow again, blame the hackers.

It looks like Proboards have been targeted on and off all week by the same attackers that are trying to swamp the whole internet. They've been blocking more internet ip addresses but the buggers keep finding another way in.

They are doing their utmost to stop the attackers before they get through the front door and these extra security measures may make the forum sluggish on occasions. It's possible that they will automatically block your ip address if you try to reload the pages too quickly. If the forum wont load for you please leave it for at least 30 seconds before trying to reload again.

The rumours that David broke it appear to be unfounded - this time.

Latest update from Proboards <abbr data-timestamp="1364500233000" class="time recent_time" title="Thu Mar 28 2013 19:50:33 GMT+0000 (GMT Standard Time)">about an hour ago</abbr>

Forums should be loading better as of now.

With the above noted, our system admins are going to be working on the servers throughout the day today to apply some fixes to ensure all will be well in the future. As a result, brief slowdowns can be expected during this time, and we'll be keeping this topic around to update as needed if a prolonged downtime is expected.

We apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you for your patience during this time.
