It's my first time being able to get on to the forums today after trying for 5 hours.... Either MMA.tv is going through a major upgrade or the UG is getting attacked by a bunch of hackers.
My theory is the red headed step childs (sherdogers) got mad that Uncle Dana banned them from access to major MMA events (UFC, Strikeforce) so they're getting back at his first born. (Underground)
The chances if anything coming from Mars are a million to one 
No shit! This is the first time I get on today. At first I thought it was the iPhone app but then I tried on my laptop and got the same shit. Lol I needed my ug fix!
Apparently, The Garv increased the size of his logo so much that it covered the entire UG, crashing the servers.
crazygrimreaper - you were trying for 5 hours? you sound like an interesting fellow.
ftw

yep! That was TheGarvJr
Some of the tech guys say it is something like hackers but I think it is something like someone screwing up. TON of new hardware coming on line shortly and then I will know for sure.
It could be someone who's first name starts with an 'S' and last name with a 'W'.........................
ttt
they started again.
LOL @ 'hackers', nobody is that interested in sinking this website. Look at the configuration of the CDN as your culprit.
DDOS attacks don't have an associated error message.

are you running a nuclear plant or a website here? wtf
All your base belong to me.
Soon.
MentaL -It really depends on the day what error message is being recieved. Most of the errors center around 'service unavailable' which is typical of not resolving via the cdn engine. Also these problems don't just happen during high-traffic windows, they just HAPPEN. The whole point of the CDN is distributed data for less connectivity errors and faster access to data, since the upgrade both have gotten worse. A general MSSQL error message would be easily found in the error log and easily fixed during one of these daily extended downtime episodes, as would any software issue that involves a simple upgrade. It wouldn't go on for a year+.ABE FROMAN - LOL @ 'hackers', nobody is that interested in sinking this website. Look at the configuration of the CDN as your culprit.I doubt its the CDN because allot of the errors are database related. My guess would be then that the mssql server cannot handle or the queries. Having two servers (one for web one for mssql) would be a good alternative. Web servers dont need allot of power but upgrading the mssql would be a good approach.
DDOS attacks don't have an associated error message.
It's possible there is more than one problem but I've fixed this exact same issue on misconfigured CDN's more than once.
we just got DDOS mortared again.
