Wow, lots of car forums are down today.

Thud · 11-13-2009, 02:11 PM

Anybody frequent any sites owned by Internet Brands? I'm on corvetteforum a lot and it's been mostly unavailable for the past couple of days, network timeouts or very slow response. Same with all the other car forums hosted by the same company.

Even IB's home page is offline. Who broke teh internets??

Hopefully 1addicts can remain IB-free!

Could be an unpatched PHP vulnerability that is being attacked. PHP is like swiss cheese.

Yeah it seems very DDOS-ish.

One of the admins over at CF (before it went completely down) said IB was experiencing a lot of load but hadn't figured out where it was coming from yet. That was yesterday.

I googled it, and this is the first thread I have found on it. All the sites that I currently post on, LS1 tech, corvetteforum, etc. are down, as the OP stated. Anyword on what is going on? LS1 tech was acting weird that last few days, then corvetteforum just stopped.

It was kind of unexpected. Though I am new here, I know a lot of board members communicate through PM's. It has kind of ruined our weekend of hitting the track, with many of us living hours away and not having contact info besides the boards.
