What happened to the-starport.net

Post by sscadmin »

I just noticed it yesterday because the site was lagging big time. But http://the-starport.net/ seems to be down right now. Any particular reason why? I know they just redid the website think last month. I had their community bar on my site and had to pull it off because it was making the website hang least for me. Because there script calls something on their server and since it couldn't contacting it, it was taking forever to timeout. So if anything SSC should be faster now :) Hope they are just redoing some things on their end if not that will be another FL community shutting down. People should forward everyone here if there site is going down :) I know I'm self plugging SSC again....

it's back up at this minute but, it's been getting hit real hard by DDos attacks and they're doing their best to get around it.

Thanks HK I saw there site came back online. I will probably hold off on putting the community bar back on until I post on their forums about the issues with the bar not timing out quick enough. It literally took me several minutes to login when there server was down.Wonder if they made someone mad? Why anyone wants to do that to a website, a gaming website at that. If you don't like a site's content or people just don't visit it no more :)

btw, the FLCN bar code is now hosted at googlecode as an alternative, see T SP forums. So it is independent from T SP and it's outtakes.
