I think we've managed to DDOS F95 (Distributed Denial of Service - basically overwhelmed their servers). I've been trying for the last 10-15 minutes to get the My Dorm and My Dorm Off-Topic "Jungle" to refresh, and I'm just getting the spinning browser circle of death. I'm hoping this will actually post, but think the odds are not in my favor...
there was a short time where they did mantenience but that was some hours ago

I've been using this site for a few years and never got one until about a month ago. I never get it on any other site I ever visit either. I also get it whether I use a VPN or not.
Yeah they truly suck I get the damn things all the time too 3 in the last hour :(
I get them all the time, but my browser is heavily masked and some of it is my own code, so not necessarily on any list. Hehe. My browser gets checked about every 15 minutes while on this site. I've never had a virus, though, so not gonna change my strategy because of a 5 second nuisance.

5 seconds, you are lucky. Mine can take up to 10 minutes to clear.

Yeah normally it's just a nuisance and I get on right away, last night was the first time I ever got that I had to check back in 10 min, hope I don't get many of them. Other thing is that it happens when posting also so you end up having to re-type most of the post because it does it when you hit the post reply button
