Can someone tell me what happened to the Astroboy-Online forums. I tried to go on the website and found no forums. Wha' happen?

Hello!

It looks like the PHP version provided by the web site host has been upgraded. The forum version was a few years old, and it looks like it doesn't work anymore with the upgraded PHP version.

We have sent an e-mail to Mark.

Thank you! Mark is...?

Please I hope this can be resolved easily, but its nice to see other members of Astro Boy-Online forums on this site. But please I'm going through forum withdrawal.

Hi everyone out there!

It's about 9:30 Eastern time in the US, and I simply can't connect with Astroboy Online - the message comes up that the server isn't responding. Hope everything is okay. I'm going to try and connect with other mods via email - hopefully I've got Mark's address here, too. Otherwise, I guess I'll see some of you guys over here!!

Same here, 18:15, Standard European Time.

I still need to post an animated GIF for the caption game. I just checked, & the forum is as you describe.

probably a dos attack on the isp, I can't access the site threw my computer or 3 different web proxies.

lowsey blackhats, don't they have better things to do then make trouble for people.

Make yourselves comfortable... I feel like I should be serving tea or something...

Well I guess THIS is our "Thanksgiving TURKEY!!" What a bummer!! I was JUST getting back into the swing of things, too.

Thanks, strobe_z! I'll have Bigelow Eggnoggin' with honey and a drop of cream!! XD

Think we were out for almost a week last time. Hey Diehard, will this be hard for Mark to fix?? Astro Forever said she was going to work on the wiki . . . don't know how....

mark can't do any more then the rest of us, it is up to the people hosting his site to clobber the blackhats, but usualy these things don't go away untill the attack stops.

so all we can do is whate it out.

You sure it's a DOS attack? It just seems to me that there should be more than one reason why a server might take too long to respond.

it is either a DOS or the server died, either way abo is down.

IT'S BACK UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

though the server might have exploded the site seems to have lost about a week or so of posts.
