Not sure if you guys have noticed it or not, but the site has gone down 5-6 times in the last 24 hours for about 5 to 10 minutes at a time. Sorry for the inconvenience, we should have this resolved shortly.
The SCJB Staff
-

-

-
I tried to post a responce yesterday morning that just locked up. Shut down the window and reopended SCJB with no additional problems.
-
The issue seems to be resolved. I will continue to monitor it closely until further notice.
-
Brad are there still problems ??? Yesterday I got booted for at least an hour, and it happenened again today ??? I thought at first maybe you guys didnt like me anymore, but then I was able to get back on, so that nixed that idea LOL
-

A longer time today then, it started around 1 or 1:30 for me, left work at 2:30 and still couldnt get on ::)
-
so as you have noticed the problem has gotten worse. i finally got some leads to what exactly is going on. i think i have eliminated the problem for now, but they (the problem) can very well come back in a different form. I am searching for a long term solution at this point.

FWIW, We ain't paying for this, so I take it in stride, Brad. We can always text or call if it's THAT important.........
But we DO love this thing!

Three days ago some POS named "Hakim" hacked and nearly destroyed the Classic Custom Boats mag and forums It took the web master 40 hrs of work to partially restore Hats off to all you folks that fend off attacks and keep these things running ! Tom

thats exactly what im going through. someone from india is hammering my ssh port several times a second trying various user names and passwords. i got the IP's and blocked them in the APF. they can and will change their ip's and come back. i just need to do some research for a permanent solution for these scumbags who have nothing better to do.

The Techy from CCB told me these "f*cks" even have a web site and they boast about what they do! they are just another POS terrorist organisation ! sh*t now my BP is up :mad: I don't understand what they get out of this crap Best of luck Brad . Darrin said he was off and on this all last weekend everytime he'd fix it it would crash again The tech guy I've been talking to at Custom Classics is super cool I'll put you in touch with him if you think it might be of help Tom

Why do they try and hack a website like this one? I can't see them making any money at it.

MARK.........
Fudge yourself....that was'nt nice :(
-
huh? what network? what went down? :screwy: :sly:
dunno what happened...was online..next thing I know system went down/froze...no biggy I fixed it 8)
-
a little update....
i now have my phone blow up and go ape shit with alarms if the site goes down......and when that happens, i immediately have to contact the hosting company so they can tap into my server and see exactly whats going on because log files are apparently not kicking back enough info.
mind you this happens at odd hours of the night as well.....site went down this morning at about 130am....and they were able to find something, but i dont consider it the source.
i'm going to be doing a large upgrade on the software that hosts this site. there wont be much of difference anyone will notice, but the important thing is that it will fix it or be a process of elimination to the suspects that might be the cause of the problem(s).
I made a copy of this site and I have successfully upgraded it, but it took several (7-8) hours since this site isnt an out of the box install. in this case, the saying goes "the more you customize, the worse it upgrades".....that being said, the site will be down during this period as well. I dont know yet when I will do the upgrade. I need 8 hours of uninterrupted time.
so if the site kicks back a message that its down for the upgrade, you guys will know whats up.
-
8 hours huh? ok try 10pm to 6am >:D

Brad does that mean its a fix that YOU actually have to do, not a dealio that you can start and let it run its course ??? Curiosity, bud, dont know much about these things, as I'm sure you can tell ::)

the upgrade of the software takes about 20 minutes if that and is automated.
whats a pain in the ass is then upgrading all the other crap...like the gallery, map, chat, bookmarks, etc. all the add-ons. they all have to be re-tweeked and modified to work cuz some of them havent been updated to work with the new version....not to mention this theme, the lovely brown theme....will have to be tweeked to work with the new version as well. Theres a new version of the chat software thats out, so i will upgrade that while im at it. i already upgraded the gallery yesterday, but will have to re-bridge it into the spine of this site (notice it links your uploaded pics to your profile).....its all the small things.
if you notice at the bottom, very bottom of this page, we are at 1.1.1. this version came out 3 years ago. the current version is 1.1.11. theres 2.0 coming out soon and i'll have to do this all over again when that comes out.
the plus side to all of this is that in the test version i was able to get the re-capcha to work (the thing where you type in the letters you see during register) so the amount of spammers will decline.
not many people understand what it takes to build this shit. yeah, anyone can drop some forum software on a server and point a domain at it....but in order to make it unique, flow smoothly and make it user friendly and inviting is the trick. ive put many many hours into this place to try to incorporate many features, but keep it seamless.
dont worry, the entire site and database will be backed up in the event shit goes sideways so i can roll back and go back to the drawing board.
-
Yes Brad, I do know that it takes alot to make this place work, and I think that you do a helluva job doing so. Compared to the other sites I have visited and the crap that goes on there, SCJB stands out in my opinion over them. I have met and chatted with quite a few guys here, and had a blast doing so. Keep up the standards that you have here, and know that alot of us are behind you. In closing I would like to say that you need to stop frucking that dammn leprechaun and make our dammn stickers so we can promote this site even more ;D

So am I reading into this that we can help expedite the process somewhat by each of us clearing out old PM's, Bookmakrs, etc?

nope. it really wont make a difference. doesnt even really impact the size of the database either.
