View Full Version : Backend database problem
Not really sure where to put this, but over the last few days it seems like most of the time the site is inaccessible. Anything past the age verification screen gets the database error page, And looking at the small number of new posts, I bet lots of other people are having the same problem.

So were you.
Yes. It seems to be more offline than online.I am experiencing the same thing!
Things seem to be better now. Maybe someone paid the bill.

Had something to do with the server I think. But you raise a reality in that we can't assume this forum will be here forever. There have been many others in various formats that are no longer functioning. Only to be replaced by others, particularly as technology advances.
Also something else that's been bothering me for years is why they Jackson doesn't bother to secure the site with an SSL cert. This is very basic security. FYI to anyone out there that if you are accessing the site from a public wifi spot, anyone else on the wifi network can see your password being sent to ISG.

Greetings Everyone,
First, there is no "backend database problem".
The server was the subject of a DDoS attack, nothing more.
My server admin successfully thwarted the attack. Everything is back to normal.
The server itself performed remarkably well considering it was at times being slammed by 25,000+ bots.
Nevertheless, I take exception to speculation that this forum, which I have kept going for more than 25 years, is somehow teetering on the edge of its demise and might suddenly disappear.
FYI, the forum's data is regularly backed up to multiple remote locations. Worst case scenario, should there be some sort of cataclysmic event that completely destroys the data on the server, we would be back online with a new server, with the entire database intact, within a few hours.
Therefor, I would appreciate if the forum's most senior members would refrain from posting conjectures that serve only to deter other members from buying a subscription, which is the source of funds that actually pays for the website server, the firewall server, the server admin, the moderators, the domain names, etc.
Admin.
P.S.: FYI we don't post notices about these occasional attacks because we don't want the attackers to titillate themselves into believing that they're actually having an effect. In other words, we don't want to feed the trolls. For that reason, this thread will be deleted within 48 hours.

And I must clarify to say that I in no way meant to imply that the site is teetering on the edge of its demise.
Just so the admin knows, the reason why I started the thread in the first place was to report the problem.

...Thank you for detailed clarification. It was very annoying last couple of days to experience the issue, but glad your team is more than capable and handled it quickly.

The site seems to be up running a lot better now. Been a bit of a problem for a few days. I see the usa sexguide site still having a few problems logging on.

Feminist women want to end this site.They are not tech savvy enough to ddos. Also sex work empowers women, provides a way to reverse the wage gap.
