Any one else having trouble with this site?

Post by Ziggy »

Or is it just me? :?

Every page I load on Racketboy today is taking a long time. Ranging from a little longer than usual to dial up speeds. Some times I even get a timed out message. On top of that, I typed in "rackeyboy.com" in Internet Explorer (I use Fire Fox) and AVG told me there was a threat on the site. When I went to "rackeyboy.com/forum" I didn't get the threat detection.

So is any one else having trouble loading this site? The rest of the internet seems to be working fine for me, it's just this site that's giving me a problem.


edit: Timed out when I went to submit this post. :(

Also, I forgot to say, some times when it takes a while for a page to load, when it finally does load, it's all screwed up.

Edit from racketboy: we are aware of this and we are doing our best to get this resolved -- hang tight and thanks for your patience!

I've been timing out a lot, along with long loading times. However, I'm surprised you got anything to come up by typing "rackeyboy.com". :lol:

I don't think the site was built with this kind of traffic in mind.

I thought it was just me! Today has been horrible for trying to load this site. It seems like the timing outs were off and on for me.

Yep, me too. And it only seems to be this website. Everywhere else I'm going today seems to load up just fine.

The server has been having a bit of a Ddos attack today -- I'm working with the hosting company to resolve it.

Distributed Denial of SuperBowl attack? (Very entertaining game today.)
My scheduling skills have died of dysentery; I hope to visit at least on a monthly basis.

Ironically, this thread failed to load the first time I clicked it, and I had to try again. And yes, I have been having trouble with this site. Every few days, it decides that it will load only very slowly with lots of time outs for a couple of hours. And today is one of those days. Very annoying.
