WTF 's RONG with em ... being trying all day to get on ... all I get is server busy or data base error????


I unintentionally upset Sportcopter ...who I respect! ..& want to modify post /make amends!

Same thing with me. They've been having a lot of trouble with a spammer. Evidently they can't keep him out.

Well and that is exactly why we don't do here automated registering.
I personally activate accounts. Yeah I know....it requires me personally to manually do it.
So? If you value your site and the good stuff it holds might as well keep it secure if you can.

Do we get attacked very often? I noticed we were down a couple of weeks ago for a little while... a few hours

You would NOT believe the amount of attacks daily!!!!
It's all good. Servers do have outages at times.
They too need to update. I think this server has been pretty good compared to the old one.

Thank -YOU again Gabs( & Gordon) for all you do to keep this site so smooth running & FUN!

Looks like the RWF server is down again today!

Steve the Pommie-prat ... got all down on Desmon for the "heads -up" on the MTO /Calidus build issues he everly having to FIX!!! ... so gave him a rap in the knuckles ... when he HAD to drag the TE gyro into the totally unrelated thread ... what a prime arsehole ... Cammie started it ... but just a passing note ... & Desmon said he had no issues with her or Michael's builds ... so pretty much shut her up!

I was pretty restrained & nice ...having forgiven much of the snip- snipe untill the PP Dickhead weighed in with "steel-toed boots" ...

Bastarges!!

Steve is an asehole and I said it years ago , he is anti-american , anti-american gyros , thinks we are a bunch of backward old bensen relics , loves it when euro-gyros sell and american models do not , he is always rubbing it in our faces , and all he is is a failed photographer who lives on a sheep farm and counts gyros for a hobby , he used to count trains before that , and his idea of firearms and target practice is the herfordshire darts-league .

And his latest stab at Des having "hidden interests" sent me over the top but I bit my lip and stayed quiet because at one time all his posts on RWF were linked to his blog so he could increase readership so he could get more money per click from advertisers ... but he has since stopped having advertisers so cant hold that against him now I guess .

Looks like they got RWF running again

You guys can always shorten his name to DICK don't mind the fact that his name is Steve!

That was a DOS attack. Probably Chinese or Russian. Like Gabor, I get hundreds of attacks a day on each site I maintain and about a hundred requests for accounts per day from hostile sources. My commercial webservers average about 1 attack attempt per minute as a rule. Most are pointless, rookie attempts, but some aren't. It used to be worse when I ran email servers. We used to have to cluster the servers with one server more-or-less dedicated to manage the attacks and other issues that would kill the throughput.

It didn't used to be this way. You could pretty much ignore most attacks until around 2002. It is off the charts bad now. You can't run a server farm without a sound strategy for attack mitigation these days.

The spammer was still posting Wednesday. Posted a streamer link to some sporting event.

I guess if he can't get in then he will use a bot to deny anyone else from getting in.
I still say we ought to hire some mercenaries that have little to do with mercy.

Besides a failed [wedding!] photographer, was he a failed soldier as well?

I am no good a snooping

.
I dont think he was ever a soldier .... doesn't seem like the type ... unless he was in the woman's brigade

Anyway , for whatever reason he has a stick up his ase when it comes to American Gyros .... he doesn't like us .

I have never seen a persons aura shadowed entirely almost all in a grey fog like color B4. Very weird....small tint of blue and green as well but very small blotches
around his extremities but his core body is grey like. Wow is all I can say.......freaky.....have to look into what this means......new color regime I have not encountered.

Did I say WoW.......maybe it means he is drawing energy from the red head who is glowing pinkish purple and normal. And no it's not his Tye.

I got it...he is an energy vampire. Energy leech if u will!!!

.

Most of his photos are all washed out and low quality .... nothing wrong with that .... unless you profess to be a professional photographer .... which he does .

But he is way out of line when he starts lecturing C.Beaty & Des about gyros (etc)

.

He is just a vitamin D deficient milky white Englishman......hates America, and has never built or flown a gyro...hides behind his keyboard and loves accidents.
Sad really, He needs to get out more and maybe play some cricket.

.

Then there was the time he bashed John (All_In) for having a picture of a scantily dressed girl on the PRA site .... ... yet a couple months later he is promoting a calendar for a Eurogyro with scantily clad girls on it.

You guys don't know how to handle him....
OK this is me on RWF (imaginary)
"Hey Steve can I ask you a favor?
Could you ask your Mom if she was still in child bearing condition?
If the answer is yes would you please go ahead and make a little brother for yourself?!"
Damn I just got banned again....(imaginary ban of course)

Well I got pm I might get sued for posting facts. I flew another bomb today. All I wanted to do was land. But that was a very difficult task. It was that bad.
