OCUK FORUM HARD TO REACH

[b00merang69]

Was it same for anyone else till about 2-3mins ago, meltdown due to corona traffic?

 

[StriderX]

It was peculiar... on 4G it worked fine (or returned more quickly for me on it), maybe it's anti-bot measures, though traffic is probably the issue.

 

[Randomface74]

yea it was rip for a bit

 

[kinobestew123]

Yep, paused for me.

 

[b00merang69]

It was not VM's DNS as I tried others and was about to try "isitdownrightnow" but then it loaded.

I know in the past idiots DDoS here.

Carrier grade caching I bet, it seemed completely down here.

 

[b00merang69]

I wonder if the mods can see the traffic and see if its increased due to what I said in OP as a joke, as most will know the forum has become the 1st stop for all topics now not just PC hardware, some quiet vague or funny (part of parcel of being big in Google searches).

 

[StriderX]

To be honest maybe the national/international infrastructure is creaking, but that's a bit out there.

 

[Vince]

No issues here

 

[b00merang69]

It is up and down, just your luck if you refresh a page at time it is ok.
