What the Hell is going on here?

I couldn't access this site for an entire day because of a host error. Something is really wrong here.

Yep, combined with all the other problems that was scary. I was actually having thoughts of how long will WP be down before I register on another site or maybe even say my Autism forum days are over.

Another site I frequent got attacked as well recently , they thought it might of been a disgruntled banned member.

Sometimes people do things just because they can , no real motive.

It's not rocket science either , Youtube is littered with 'how to' vids

In a way I think it might of made some people question their internet life , I definitely spend too much time here but cold turkey is a harsh way to kick an addiction.

Someone made a thread called; "Does having a melt-down when it receives too many page requests mean my server is autistic?", resulting in too many instances of the :roll: emoji for the server to handle. :lol:

Hmm, now that I say that, a DDoS attack is maybe quite a good metaphor for the sensory/emotional overload of a melt-down?

At least with cold turkey, you usually have a warning since it was usually you that made the decision to go cold turkey.

Perhaps this site is being targeted because it is becoming a hub for what I like to call "politically incorrect leftism".

Perhaps I'm being narcissistic, but this site has changed a lot since last year ... when I returned. Perhaps I simply have a messianic complex ... or perhaps I truly am a prodigy of the Socratic method.

Anyways, I like to think that I am capable of changing the world. It's not like I have anything else to live for in my horrible life.

I'm seriously considering taking a break from this site. I get an error message half the time I try & come or post on here. I usually wait alittle bit & it works again unless it's around midnight Eastern time but now it's lasting over a friggen day. This is ridiculous. It's way past time Alex starts a new forum with better software that replaces this one.

Why do you keep blaming me for this and other problems? I can see it as a joke once, but you have done this repeatedly now in several threads.

Not a problem, just wondering. Also some people here don't get jokes so good and take things seriously.
