FND Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Is anyone else having trouble connecting with the DP Message boards or is it only my connection? I have a trade I need to send but cant get to my PM's for the mailing address. FND Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcescott Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Someone tell us whats going on!!! I'm down here in Fort Worth, TX. It's been down since the hurricane hit. BTW, we are starting to get refugees from New Orleans as of today. I hope they clean up soon. If any moderator reads this, please inform us. Maybe some of us can help..

For those of you who do visit, sorry for the inconvenience! 922321[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those of you who do visit, sorry for the inconvenience! 922321[/snapback] 923714[/snapback] The site and forums are back online. I can't find the post where one of the members here commented on the forum's "too busy" look, but if that's really an issue all you have to do is change the skin template from your user profile. The skin "myApple" eliminates all signatures and has a very clean look; "MSSimplicity" has no signatures OR avatars - and is the one that office-browsing folks use the most. Once again, sorry for the inconvenience. Even after 14 years, we're learning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathtrappomegranate Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Still not working for me. Maybe a DNS propagation delay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Check if www.digitpress.com resolves to 207.234.147.108 for ya. Personally I just pretty much go straight to http://www.digitpress.com/forum/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerG Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Thanks - DP is down for me, but that worked going to the forum link that you posted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpendTooMuchOnAtari Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Again!? Man, DP has some serious issues. I wonder what percentage of the time they are actually up and running. Don't get me wrong, I like it at DP but this is getting annoying. What is the problem over there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcescott Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 It's down allright, I had some time to play some flash games DANGIT!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveW Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I've been wanting to order their Tony Scott NYC CD off their site, but that link has been dead for several months. I guess the site keeps getting hacked or going down so often, they haven't had the time to fix the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcescott Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Hey everyone, I am having problems getting to the DigitPress site again. Just wondering if it is down and when it will be available again. This started Nov 1, 2005, around 1pm. I was gonna buy some stuff and the contact is at DP website!!

maibock Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I think they have a secondary backup forum, for such cases as this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcescott Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Please inform me, I need to buy a couple 72 pins from a source there very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christianscott27 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 its a yahoo group, go there and search around.... classic gaming something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flack Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 The group is "Classic Video Games". PunkOffGirl just posted to the group stating that DP was DDOS'ed offline again, the webhost does not want to host the site any longer, and that DP may be offline for a couple of weeks until all of this gets resolved.

Mayhem Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 The short story is that like Microsoft patches, as soon as new PHP updates happen, people go to reverse engineer them to see what was fixed. And a new update came out a couple of days ago. Needless to say the DP site has been attacked again by lamer script kiddies. A full security update and server move are possibly going to happen. The long and short of it is that the site might be down for up to two weeks as a result. We'll just have to see sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Maybe only switching to a different software would really help here. IMO it seems like PHP has become "the IE of forum software" and those stupid script kiddies are everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 I wonder who keeps bringing DP down? Is it the same person or different people each time? Any way to track them? Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO it seems like PHP has become "the IE of forum software" and those stupid script kiddies are everywhere. 959444[/snapback] Just for the record, the forum software DP is running is not called PHP, but phpBB (which you can find here). PHP is the scripting language used by phpBB, as well as quite a bit of other software, including the forum software we are running here. You can learn more about PHP itself here. ..Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 I just use PHP as an "abbreviation" myself even though I know it is phpBB... most people seem to know what I mean anyhow by that. The ones that are fairly regular online people that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
