This place seems to have been a bit flaky this week, we've seen a couple of error messages appear when posting something or when trying to log in or out.
It's not us, there's no maintenance going on at our end. Maybe our ISP is "upgrading" us again ?
Sorry for any problems, just be patient and maybe copy your text before you post it in case it loses your carefully-crafted erudite thoughts... |

When I mentioned problems logging on I was told to shut up and get some work done on the bike rather than messing about on the computer ... For once it wasn't the missus either _________________ We are where we are... |

Forum still seems very flaky. Apologies to all members for that. We don't know what the cause is yet, and there's very limited support for our database via the ISP.
If you could all please tidy up your various Message folders ASAP, it'll help keep the overall DB size down which will make maintenance easier for us. Ta. |

I have just seen an article on The Register saying that your hosting provider was being hit by a Chinese denial of service attack. Someone in the comments was saying that they had noticed the Wordpress service being poor for sometime.
I just see the site like a 2T bike; mostly you have to give it a few kicks before it will start and it will often cut out for no reason. Kinda adds to the overall enjoyment |

Yeah, I heard that too. Should we feel gratified that the entire Chinese people feel threatened by an obscure 2-stroke fan site with 600 members ?! Or do you think it was one of the other 3M+ sites on the same DSN provider they were after ?

Ah, so it runs a bit rough for a while, then it just stops altogether and you have to spend several hundred quid fixing it... |

Is the forum running extremely slow recently or is it just meeeeeee that's very very slow?
I'm not complaining either ... Just an observation like the fact that I've gained pounds over Xmas and its still cost me to do it _________________ We are where we are... |

Yes. No idea why.
Previous attempts at obtaining system support have been very frustrating. It's actually similar to my day job but with very limited control or access. Imagine if you were a plumber but had to do all your work standing outside and doing everything through the letterbox.
Thought everyone was on Facebook now anyway ? We are... |

No-one has to move to Facebook. There is a Diff'rent Strokers FB page for those who like such things but it's pretty quiet on there. There's even a DS Twitter account but we rarely think of anything to tweet... |
