LOL, you are correct. And I will see this post in about 4 minutes.

Again, I recommend ignorancedenied.com but it is not like here. You should arrive with a gentle touch. If that is not your thing, you should not go there. It is I think 'untouched oasis'.

Im in New Zealand and everywhere else is OK. ATS takes at least 30 seconds to load very simple pages.

a reply to: SaturnFX

this looks interesting , a treasure hunt!

Ignorance denied

It can't be just the site. My original speed test on Verizon speedtest was somethihng like 1.6 mbps down. It is supposed to be 100 MBPS down. Even after the hard reboot and system diagnotiscs, the down was not what it should be. The UP was always fine.

And when I was on the phone with the last tech support, places like CNN were glitching. First lines and then a few seconds and then the website.

Not to mention, Verizon's own computer system was down to even look my account.

Something more than ATS being slow happened today.

Yes. Though I have seen a lag in other sites I nomally do not see. Not oas bad as here, but a lag that doesn;t normally happen.

I am wondering if the CME that wasan;t supposed to hit actually did,

Spacweather

Radiation from the two flares ionized the top of Earth's atmosphere, causing a blackout of shortwave radio transmissions over the Pacific side of Earth. Blackout maps from NOAA show the frequencies and territories affected: blackout #1, blackout #2. People who might have noticed the blackouts include ham radio operators, mariners and aviators.

I just looked. According to NASA, yesterday, was suposed to bypass the Earth. Apparently, not completly.

I have been trying to login since 4:30am our time Reldra.

Got coffee, fired up computer, click on ATS and I have to login.

I Never logout, so that was odd....but it happens.

LOGIN DID NOT WORK!!!!!

I start to shake a little, but not in a panic....yet. Three more tries and a bead of sweat starts to form.

Was I banned???? Oh God. OK, take a deep breath!

Send email to webmaster asking if there is an 'issue' with my account.

Its been 3 min! Why no response?? I want a cigarette, no you idiot, its been 1 1/2 years since you quit!

STILL NO RESPONSE! Its been a whole 5 mins.......ok Try ANOTHER password reset, what the hell....

No copy and paste this time, I write down the temp password.

Bingo, I'm IN. THANK YOU GOD!!!!

I think I will die early in the apocalypse......

True story, sadly.

I'm Steve, and I am an ATS addict.

Nope, Trump thought he owned the rights and sued in court.

a reply to: stosh64

it actually lasted a lot longer than that. There was no panic.

site been bad glitchy for the past couple of days for me. had the server maintenance page come up saying to many connections for a day or two. then night before last and yesterday it had been dropping me saying timed out when posting, if i hit refresh it showed the post i had just made.

another thing that's been happening for a while, is when thread pages load it takes twice as long as the recent page or my posts pages.

this has been happening since the last DDOS attack.

And you wrote that at 12:54 am.
And now its 7:28 am.

And the site is unbelievably slow; the lag is about 3 to 5 minutes.
And from my experience it started sometime yesterday afternoon.

I dunno what's up with this.

Something is seriously wrong.I've had to fight my way onto site twice this morning trying 3 different browsers.
