Thread: Well hello there...

wow it prolly the most popular place for the genesis coupe and it has to be the shittiest service. you'd think they would fix the damn place long ago. hell several members said that they would host the site and several other said that they'd help out to fix the crashes.

Welcome to da forum

From their Twitter (old tho):
"We were attacked again, about 15 minutes ago. Still searching for a new host. damnit...about 20 hours ago from digsby"

switching hosts isn't going to help them...they probably have a security hole in their forum software

to which like i said many people have said that they would help mr. k. with the forums but yet prolly nothing has been done.

announcement that they put out.

"To our members, vendors and viewers,

First off, we apologize for the recent issues GenCoupe.com has been having.

As all of you are aware, GenCoupe.com has been down several times within the past week. There has been a lot of speculation as to the cause of the problem, but the truth is, our site has been under attack for the past week. We have been hit at least three times during that span with a DDoS attack.

The goal of these attacks was to bring the site down. The attackers were not interested in any files or data we have online (we have no pertinent information stored online), their goal was to simply bring the site down so that normal viewers, like you, would not be able to access it.

We've been the target of an attack several times now, so we're taking the necessary steps needed to remedy this. From our point of view, it's not unreasonable to expect another attack.

regards,
the GenCoupe.com Staff"

Gotta feel for those guys...its hard for an enthusiast site to guard against attacks like this
