    Do you mean you didn't have any problems or it's not loading?

    Not loading at all. I am a member of CoinTalk. When I click on my CoinTalk bookmark, it does absolutely nothing. Hopefully they are just doing maintenance or something.

    It seems there are several websites acting wonky this morning. Even this one took three or four times before it loaded. CT still won’t load.

    Since I mainly post there, it was experiencing lots of slowdowns the past several days and speed would return. A few posters warned something bad was going to happen, and it looks like it did.

    Might be ddos attacks since there was a higher number of bots recently.

    Weird... I hope the site isn't gone for good... That would suck

    I doubt it, the owner, Peter, comes and goes on the site. He may already know what's going on or it may be a few days before he becomes aware. Usually, it runs pretty efficiently.

    But it is annoying.

    I wouldn't doubt the Reddit/Silver drama may have something to do with it.

    Maybe... Do you think Peter T Davis shut down the website on purpose?

    Doubt it, not with the site having major slowdowns the past few days.

    Just have to be patient I guess.

    CU will probably get more traffic while this lasts, all the CoinTalk refugees will be over here for however long this goes on.

    Well possibly that and a little weather issue called a Nor’easter.....

  • ElmerFusterpuckElmerFusterpuck Posts: 4,759 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Nada for me too, just the endless circling on my browser. I mostly lurk over there, but I do like the site itself. Hope it comes back, can never have enough coin collecting sites!

  • silverpopsilverpop Posts: 6,705 ✭✭✭✭✭

    as i said we will just have to wait for someone in the know to tell us what is really going on with coin talk

    I think Peter posted that he either up graded his server or bought a new one.
    That may be where the issues are. Coin Talk is more relaxed and user friendly
    in my opinion. Just sayin'.

    Alright, so I was right with the DDOS talk. Unfortunate. I was wondering why there were 800+ guests at a time. Wonder how long before we are back up and running.

    I browse this site too, just don't post often.

    Good point!!!

    I know that you are only a visitor here, and by saying this I am possibly closing this portal.

    Edit: Cointalk is back, albeit a little slow.

    I can tell by the varying messages refusing connection...CT peeps will be back...on and off.
