The 504 message appeared because the server was rebooted. That took about 10 minutes.

As for the loading times being a bit slower, I have explained that in an earlier post in this thread. Please read from the beginning for the whole story.

If you see a 504, it means that the server is being worked on. Don't worry. Just try again a few minutes later and things should be normal again.

the site is being subjected to DDoS attacks periodically because of a disgruntled ex member. We had to add some special equipment and the setup of this equipment requires many adjustment, like for example DNS propagation. The DNS propagation process is not always fast, and is almost completely out of our control. It can take up to a few days to complete, mostly because ISPs often cache DNS data; the same thing can happen to your house router or PCs, so you might be connecting from a location where at some point there is a DNS cache in place.

Thanks for your reports, everybody.

Come Tuesday I'll have a brand new server in place which is twice as powerful as the one I'm using now.

There is also some latency caused by the fact that the ddos defense requires the traffic to be routed through a 3rd party filter. However, I'm implementing a powerful and better hardware solution soon and the latency should gone.

Finally.... it's like quiting smoking/drugs... I've been off SBF for almost a week now and just about to take another long break from it. Well, if that's what the attacker hopes, he/she almost succeed

Great work getting it back and investing on the extra & new gears! Okie, I won't complaint about where the earnings from the ads goes now

Hello,
