DDOS Attack

[for fawkes sake]

Things appear to be stabilising a little for the moment. I wonder how long it will be until a new tactic is used.

[eddy]

Just a thought, why not set up a HTH Facebook page as a stop gap for as and when the nasty people attack again.  I think it would be fair to say it would be pretty impossible to do a DDOS on facebook for obvious reasons and you can still post articles etc.  I am not saying as a replacement for the site, as I am a firm believe in websites rather than facebook pages, however it would make a useful portal to communicate via next time one comes along

Incidentally these DDOS are all getting a little bit coincidental dont you think, smarts of desperation if there is any link, the word will always get out!

That's a good idea and I'm a bit surpised HTH doesn't have a Facebook account already.

Good idea..

Facebook is a mystery to me.

There is already a High Tax Hartlepool group on Facebook

Apparently this is a new one that's just been set up. Seems empty to me.

I remember this topic being brought up a long time ago, possibly by Christine Blakey, and I checked then to find that group in existance. Always assumed it was you?

[steveL]

If it was I don't remember it but then my memory isn't what it used to be.

This is an old one...remember it being around last time the lights went out!

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick update. Although we've had a couple of days of fairly steady access, I thought I'd better make it clear that the site is still under attack. Counter measures I've used have had an unfortunate side-effect in that the latest posts info on the main page is not updating. I'm afraid this is unavoidable at the moment while I try to figure out some way around it. Again, thanks for everyone putting up with this crap.

[for fawkes sake]

I haven't had much trouble lately. Keep it up, Danny.
