Website Issues

[jshepherd]

We are back up (hopefully) without issues going forward.

Pearl Guide was the target of an intense Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack last week and over the weekend. We've since migrated to a new how with better mitigation capabilities. If this doesn't work, we will take it a step further.

Fingers crossed!

Thanks for the explanation, Jeremy. I think we’ve all really missed the forum!

Glad to see it’s working again!

[Pearl Dreams]

It's good to be back up!

[BWeaves]

Thank you for the update. I thought I'd been banned.

Glad PG is back. I've missed seeing my peeps. Thanks for your work in getting it back.

Thank you for the update. I thought I'd been banned.

That was my initial thought, then I realized I hadn't had a chance to log in, so there was no way for the site to know it was me. So, everyone had to be banned, which is essentially what happened.

THANK YOU, Jeremy, Kevin, admins and everyone behind the scenes who worked so hard to bring back our beloved Pearl-Guide AND our friends !!!

So glad you got the forum back up. This really is the best place to learn about pearls.

BWeaves, I wondered if I’d been banned too!

[jshepherd]

We might see more issues, but if we do, please just spread the word that we are working on it and nobody is banned and Pearl-Guide is not going away

Thanks for hanging in there everybody - We've been attacked a few times in the past, but nothing like this one.

We're all so relieved this outage was of short duration; thank you so much, Jeremy, Kevin and team!!

[amti]

So glad you are back!

I thought you'd all finally had enough of me...

Glad to be back.
