Wow - it's back online.
I thought it would never come back.

There was nothing on the official Facebook page about it:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/438962574772841/?mibextid=HsNCOg

and a search of Twitter came up with 2 addresses but I don't even know if they are correct
and no information there either:

Cunning, no?

I'm not sure how all this works Bobby but I don't believe the number of guests online (assuming a lot of them are also not 'bots', of course) causes anywhere near the problems with slowness that the search bots cause because guests are usually just looking and reading single threads at a time while the bots "read" through the forum at 'warp speed' with 'collecting' pages for their search engines.

The guests could be robots that do that too -
opening page after page as fast as they can.
That's how DOS attacks work.

We don't want them here!!!

yes - as you wrote on another thread that I can't reply to:

Bots, eh?

Well, I'm curious. From whence did such bots come?

We'll do this as a multiple choice, shall we?

a) The tinted races. Nigerian scammers, no doubt.

b) Islam. The diabolical Saudis, at it again. Typical.

c) The C.I.A. Uncle's always tried to spoil our fun, ja?

d) Putin's jolly old white - sorry - far-right nationalists.

One of these is the biggest threat to our Freeeeeedom.

Who?

I was having a look there quite a few times over the past 3 days while OzPolitic was offline. Was thinking about signing up just before OzPolitic came back online. I'll put that on hold for the moment though.

Well it was a very long outage - 4 days in total.

(only briefly coming back for a few hours in the middle)

Don't want to say, eh?

Railing against the Muselman 24/7, but come the day the board gets botted, no worries.

All good, clean fun, no? Matty's just having a bit of a chuckle.

Ever get the feeling?

We were pretty worried -
we thought that FD had been taken away for his political activities.

Karnal,
speculation was rife at Monk's place - every theory you could imagine was put forward. Shocked

Yes, I had a look over there and the tinfoil hat theories were rampant, along with gloating from the usual suspects about how this haven of right wing supremacy may have been shut down for good thanks to informants complaining to the government about their hurt feelings. Roll Eyes
