I'm not in it, no. Where is it?

There is a TiBB Facebook page here - https://www.facebook.com/thisisbigbrother

Also a Twitter account - https://twitter.com/TiBBbigbrother - I could use for that.

That's not good

[Alf]

I got error last night. Right at the time I was dropping truth bombs to Slim about Trump.

I think it was the deep state hacking us, trying to keep me quiet.

[James]

I've fixed the issue for now.

Sorry about the downtime there.

All sorted now.

[Cherie]

Thank you James

[Vanessa]

We're back ! Wooo

[Maru]

While y'all were all busy being down, I was actually down. I was asleep (or doing morning routine). Though I did see the outage just now-ish for SSL certificate expiration and then the fun default template declaring maintenance.

[James]

Yeah, that was my fault letting that expire. :blush:

[Tony Montana]

That downtime costing me my footie predictions. :fist:

After 20mins it came back.
So not a terribly long time


If you were online around 2AM
it went off. On all formats

[Sticks]

Processing updates?

There is a huge amount of guests accessing the site just now. It's been happening for a few days.

I think that caused the downtime.

Some sort of bot network, or something.

[arista]

We are back Online

Great


Yes bot networks need to Bugger off

https://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forums/online.php

Check online Far too many online guests

[arista]

I just went on the Who's Online

On page 67

Non stop Guests viewing. (Index only)



This is 100% Bot Network Attack on Tibb.

[arista]

Can you Stop Guests viewing the Site

For a few hours?

[arista]

As they are not Guests
They are a Massive Duplication
of Network Bots.

No Humans

[arista]

I went to the last page 127 on the who's online

Still Non Stop bots


When you normally look at it
Many are viewing Big Brother threads
or something like that.

No ads... at the moment.

They only really pay anything if people click on them, so bot views don't help any.
