The server is stiill beign attacked right now, but we try to block it with a software and it use the CPU of the server a lot -- so until we have a HARWARE FIREWALL who will blocks attacks, we may get slow and timeout issues.

The firewall is being installed right now ... so some down time may occur in the coming hour
Prog On !

Hopefully the firewall will keep the hacker t**sers out, but I'm still getting SQL timeouts.

I got them since I registered here, so that is not really new for me..
By the way, what was wrong with the pain page? It just showed up the links, no reviews, no announcements, everything gone..

Punk rock is attacking again!!!


You know what?, it probably is a punk fan. I know there are websites out there that soul purpose is to run down prog and promote punk... I'm serious. Also the fact that there are music critics who go out of their way to attack prog, and and the rock and roll hall of fame ignoring 99% of prog.
Why not? Some people have nothing better to do with their lives than to try and destroy others happiness, because they are unhappy themselves.
I doubt it. I didn't realize the nature of the attacks originally. If they wanted to destroy the site, they'd be trying to put messages up taunting everyone, not attempting to get information about it and only succeeding in taking it down temporarily.
if you own a sodastream i hate you

I for one blame punk rock.

Ha, I see people have already jumped to that conclusion!
