Currently not only slow but keep getting messages about failing to connect to www.physicsforums.com at all. Also, PF chat has just dropped me and I can't get back in.

we were attacked this morning/afternoon. the firewall is still catching up, so things might still be a little slow for a bit

Maybe char can set up a youtube social? We can chat there for a while until PF is fully recovered. And we get to listen to cool music (:

It takes several minutes to load a page now, if it works at all. I'm also seeing different fonts than usual, and no background color. (It's white instead of the usual blueish gray).

What's going on?! It began some time around Mar 5, 23:30 pm EST. I was online checking my replies and it became non-responsive.

We've been hit all day in a DOS attack. Keep the updates coming. Things are running ok for me at the moment.

Maybe it's an angry kid who failed a high-school physics test and feels the need for misplaced revenge.Greg Bernhardt said:
Speed varies a lot for me now. It's fast, then really slow, then moderately slow, then fast again.

the attack is still on going. i have contacted our data center to see if they can block the attack before it hits our server.

Still slow as molasses in winter (in Canada) over here. Things load eventually, but it can take quite a few minutes to do so.

OK it's better now. I don't know if it's *fixed* but it's certainly better.

2:25 AM EST Southeast Florida. Still somewhat slow here. But functioning. I wonder if the 'big boys' have gotten to the point where they're charting the requests. If that's what's happening.
Ok, the last click to "Preview Post" was fairly quick.
Same with the next.
