Denial-of-service attack

Some of you may have had difficulty in accessing the website at certain times over the past 3-4 days. Unfortunately this website has been the target of a denial-of-service attack, where someone bombards the website with a huge amount of requests to try and deliberately overload the servers. While the attack is taking place the website will appear to be running very slowly and it may be difficult to access a page or pages may download incompletely.

Fortunately we have a good hosting company who have taken steps to try and mitigate the effects of the attack, by identifying and blocking
the specific packets responsible while allowing legitimate transactions to pass.

Sadly there are groups and individuals out there with a negative attitude who want to spoil your fun. Please bear with us while we try to do everything we can to resume a normal service.

Messaging isn't working

Everyone has the same amount of message views unless they've upgraded. There shouldn't be anything different about your account.

Ssl certs?

I understand your concerns however that's not the case, the vast majority of the website is ssl protected. There's just two sections that were still working on, videos and chat. Passwords are protected. Your browser should automatically be directed to use https in the relevant sections but if not just ensure you have https in the browser address bar.

Blocked/blocking members

I understand your frustration. The new chat has a blocking system, and I know it's been a while but I do intend to switch over to this system in the near future.

The blocking feature currently stops a user from contacting you but as you state they can still view your content. Blocking content viewing is something I'll consider once I get my to do list down a little. Believe me I work every day on this site but it just takes time.
