~It could be the latter as I don't remember this forum getting attacked like that. Based on the admin's previous replies on chats and threads, he has been working to make the forum easier to browse for new members (including teleported). He probably had to make the website inaccessible during that time to save major changes.
So this is not a DDOS attack? Or just a little technical problem?
I don't always pay attention to these altcoinstalks chats maybe I missed where the admin said that, honestly this is not definite because it was only briefly what I experienced and it's not like anyone else experienced this.~It could be the latter as I don't remember this forum getting attacked like that.

Since you are able to connect to SMF server, we cannot say that it is a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) error. You can connect to the server but cannot access the database. Therefore, the admin must have been making some updates that make this error occurred, but since you are the only one who complained, then it did not occur for a long time.

thank you for the info, do you remember when and what time of the day it was exactly ?Hi admin,
exact time and date would help
"Connection problem"
The problem "Connection Problem" lasts for a while, maybe about 1-2 minutes but sustainable.
After 30 minutes it appeared again, until I repeated it 2-3 times to refresh the browser.
I also tried with tethering smartphones still can't, before I used WiFi from Accest Point.
Why did it happen?Your sensitive data, such as your password, is safe, but it is better that it be unique and that you have not used it before.
Can this problem be resolved properly?
Is the safety of this Altcointalks guaranteed?
Before I make a reply to this topic about DDOS, I try to reply and discuss first about Solana and Bonk coins.It's a problem with your Tor node.
But I get that the User Interface of the Altcoinstalks website looks like it's blank and can't be opened or can't be accessed.
The next time this error occurs, visit this link https://www.isitdownrightnow.com/altcoinstalks.com.html.The website you provided is very helpful and I just found out that there is such a good feature for checking active and inactive websites.
You will know through it whether the problem is related to you or if the site is not working.
Your sensitive data, such as your password, is safe, but it is better that it be unique and that you have not used it before.I don't really save important things in my account because this is an admin website forum, so I immediately save important things in my own folder offline.
Don't use too much data here and don't post your data publicly.
It's a problem with your Tor node.Okay noted , thanks for supporting us.
other forums often have the same problem, that is, being attacked by criminal gangs who ask for a ransom to stop doing what they doSo, are you saying that this altcoinstalks website is starting to be targeted by security hackers, so that they ask the admin for payment?
Your problem is different from others, have you checked the altcoinstalks website correctly?(https://i.ibb.co/cLbvy0J/pic457.jpg) (https://ibb.co/X8y4W1X)

This is a kind of cruise ship hijacking carried out by pirates, is that what you mean?
Knowing what has happened and what the causes of the problem have been, we should relax and enjoy the forum.I'm relaxed and relaxed on this forum, but what I'm afraid of is that my account will be hacked by those who are not responsible.

We all know that we have a long history on this forum, if my account was hacked it could immediately disappear without a trace, for example deleting all the topics that I have replied to.
Then, if I claim to the admin, what happens if my account has been hacked? This is what I'm afraid of, because I've never experienced a problem like this before.
This is just my anticipation at the beginning, before this incident happened (and don't let it happen). :-\
-, like using 2FA for user login, for example, -How do you use 2FA to log in, mate?
How do you use 2FA to log in, mate?
Is 2FA the same as 2FA when we log in to a Binance account?
Or is it different from other 2FA? or is there another 2FA application that can connect to the altcoinstalks forum account?
Looks like I have to learn more about the use of 2FA later when it is implemented on the altcoinstalks forum when I log in. Hmmmm, quite interesting.
yesterday night i see a 522 error thorungh cloudflare
error on forum or another ddos attack?
just for know, i am only curious
As @Zed0X said, it is probably a specific failure of a few minutes due to the work and changes that the administrator is making. It could also be due to a fault with your ISP (it happened to me a few days ago) but as I say it is just something specific. There is nothing to worry about.
You are right, it is actually a common issues that we sometimes also experiences on Bitcointalk too which could last for hours before everything start working normal again. Yesterday was the second time I am experiencing same error on the forum but first time did not actually last for a very long hour like it did yesterday. The error lasted more than two hours yesterday, that was why it was noticed by many people.

This is scarier than I thought, is it possible that this is because the altcoinstalks are starting to increase in rating so that hackers are appearing?

This was the first time for me, and I only noticed it when I received a notification from telegram notification bot that all my 22 karmas have been drained from my account - I had to rush to log into my account to see what might have resulted in such an action only to be slammed with the “host error”.
And since I’ve experienced this same error before in Bitcointalk I just knew it would be the admin’s handiwork (since he’s quite busy with setting things for the forum), then I relaxed for it to return back online so that I could continue my posting here.
In reality, what happened yesterday was not an error or a failure, as the administrator explains, it was a server upgrade that became a bit complicated and I think it lasted about 5 hours, as you can read in this thread. Nothing to worry about, a more powerful server for the forum.It's good to know that the forum has upgraded its server, however I still see some lag on this server. Other websites are loading very fast for me but this forum sometimes lags even after the upgrade. I think the load is increasing on the server that might be creating the issue of lag. I don't know if I'm the one having website loading lag or others might be having the same issue.

Some days now, I'm not sure if I'm the only user experiencing this from my end. Before the forum went off some days ago perhaps for upgrade, I find it difficult to access the forum with my normal network or is it my internet protocol that is having this problem? However, when I on my VPN and connect to another route, the site will open instantly and very fast but my local network doesn't.
It also don't connect to my network but when I use th same local network from a wifi, it goes and sometimes it doesn't but right now, it seems okay because I'm using my device network and it's working fine now. Couple admin tell us when or after they are done with upgrade to know what's happening.

Since I didn't witness it, I cannot actually say if it's an attack or not.
(https://i.ibb.co/097hQ3X/IMG-9307.jpg)we are having some issues with the server, till they are resolved ... i made you this nice page
Can anyone tell me why I bumped into this sometimes when I tried to open a link in the Forum? Or is this a measure to slow down DDOS attack on the forum?
I think the admin need to use cloudfare bots when tye forum recognize a new IP address or when a certain person changes IP address. I'm not sure if it's the forum that integrate this but I quite see this on some forums and they put that measure because of the same Ddos attack coming from another person and if it's the server that is the problem, let's as a community do something about it.
