Topic says it all.
Anyone know when it will be up and running again?

Good question. For some reason the forum code is causing the CPU on the server to go to 100% (even though it is the same code being used for the BTT forums).
I am trying to figure it out, and will probably stick up an interim solution shortly.

So much is going on right now in the toy world and I've got no one to talk to! Well, not really NO ONE, but I miss the POTF2 forums!
I was so excited to see the page pop up just now, and then it's linked to BTT... I'm so happy (and drunk) I coulod just shiit!
Less than 1 week to 4/2... New Toy Day!!  |

| Things seemed to be OK there for a few minutes, but now I can't get anything to load. |

Am I just making things more difficult by clicking links all over the place Aaron?
This thread shows up as an active topic on POTF2, I can access it and reply to it. Of course, this is a BTT thread that you have incorporated into the POTF2 forums somehow, right?
But nothing else seems to work right.

Yes, BTT active threads show up on the POTF2.COM Active Topics page so folks can switch between the two sites.
I was having problems replying to posts on POTF2.COM and the main forums page was screwy looking.
I am running some admin diagnostics on it now.
The main problem of why the site was down has been solved (for now). A person was attacking the site - sending many many requests to the server causing it to slow then crash.
The problems occuring now were probably caused by me trying to figure out what was wrong with the site.
Everything should be back to normal soon.

Just tell me who he/she is and where they are and I'll take care of the rest!  |

No joke. I have all the info, but I don't want to post it until the proper folks take care it first.
Check to see if POTF2.COM looks normal again. It seems to be ok now on my computer.

I'm having probs with POTF.com right about now, thought I could at least reach my PM Inbox via BTT.com but to no avail.
What's the script then Aaron, is it down?
