IB bought my other forum site, www.Rennlist.com that used to be run from a guys bedroom and I STILL cant load it since yesterday morning... This is getting bad... IT sucks that BOTH my sites are down at the same time...

Early on Thursday last week (PST) our websites encountered an attack, one which is often referred to as a “DDOS” (distributed denial-of-service) attack.
While our network is setup to handle very substantial traffic (it deals with over 50 million visitors each month), as has been seen by other large internet sites (Twitter, Facebook, Google et. al.) such a large scale attack will cause connection difficulties. In this we were no different, and it wasn’t until sometime on the weekend where we were able to implement a successful resolution to the issue.
As part of the implementation of the resolution you may have encountered some issues with the site and its functionality, we are working through each of those items, and if you come across an issue, if you could please post it in the help forum to ensure that we have seen it, it would be appreciated.
We have been (and continue to) work around the clock until all the issues are resolved, our apologizes for the inconvenience.
Thanks,
Adrian – Internet Brands.

I/We appreciate your efforts, but it hasn't helped on my end at all. While everyone else is saying it has only been happening the last few days, I have been having the same problems for at least 3-4 weeks. Can't get on the site, and once I'm on, I can't get on the sub-forums. Sometimes, for whatever reason, it will go ahead and load if I double-click on it, or if I keep hitting refresh. No idea why this helps. Hope you get it fixed soon.
