Default Having problems with slow forum today

Using Firefox with AdBlockerPlus, I hardly ever have a problem with a slow forum, but I'm sporadically having problems with a slow forum today. On one occasion, while trying to add a post to a thread, the forum timed out on me twice. This has been happening from about noon today until now (2 PM CDT).

I've tried other websites and have not had a problem with them while this forum was timing out on me.

I have not knowingly made any software changes in the last few days.

Yes. Painfully slow at times. I don't think it's just the forum though. It took me forever to upload a youtube video too. And when the video was uploading I couldn't browse any other sites. Somethings weird with the net today.

Sorry guys. I've been informed it's a DDOS attack on the network.

All IB sites are impacted, so CorvetteForum is one of several experiencing the results of the DDOS attack. This has occurred a time or two in the past, and given the serious amount of traffic being involved, it may take some time before relief is seen. There may be intermittent periods of time of no accessibility, very slow, or normal results.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
