 Anyone here having problems getting into Steve's website? I now get a login page and can't log in with my old credentials. I'm presuming this isn't limited to my account and am wondering if anyone else is having similar problems. There was an 8 page thread started recently about this that I perused before going about this morning's business. Came back a few hours later and can't get to anything but his homepage.

 According to a Steve Hoffman post on the site one of their moderator accounts was hacked.

 

I have not tried in a while. nt , posted on November 23, 2020 at 12:25:44

 Current message at top of the forum page:

"We are experiencing extraordinarily high traffic at the moment due to the outage this morning, plus we will be running a few processes in the background to rebuild server caches. The forum will be responding a bit slower than normal until this has passed. Thank you!"

 

Yup, up and sorta running so I can get to the Coupons Discounts and Sales forum, posted on November 23, 2020 at 14:48:58

 I saw the message from Steve on Facebook this morning - but it seems to be back up and running.

I often wonder why they target such forums?

 The police have rounded up 30,000 possible suspects who might have done this.

 the Audio Review dot com site was hacked by russian porn a few years ago, it is still up and the hackers gone but they never fully recovered. it's kind of wimopy now, karma is doing well though.
