That's what I was thinking - or maybe a global mywowbb thing... Though, I'm not sure that VaGunTrader uses mywowbb - just read that they do elsewhere. Maybe someone hooked up a good SQL injection attack that corrupted something.

I doubt it. Bet somebody is up to something no good if anything and I dont believe in coincidences like this...

Maybe, that's exactly why I came. Did a internet search and found the Virginia Gun Owners forum. I recognize a lot of screen names from OCDO.

I just noticed Wylde007 is on this forum. I'm suprised that he hasn't blamed the site crashes on the "War of Northern Aggression".

:wave: Hi Wylde.

wowbb hosts both of the sites. We are both down, well....having problems anyway. Wowbb doesnt have the best customer support. I went with them because they are the least expensive for hosting. I wish I had went with another forum software and a different hosting company. I just didnt think vaguntrader was going to do as well as it is.

hang in there....we'll be back up

I suspected OCDO had a DOS attack...wouldn't surprise me at all if it was an anti who was unhappy with the Starbucks situation, seeing OCDO has had a lot of attention lately.

Thats my bet and now vaguntrader verified they are on the same provider...and DHS reported last winter (Jan 2009) in a special report about left wing extremists that one of their MOs is cyber attacks...read about it here...

I am haveing problems with Gun Trader also.
I can open the site and login, but I cannot open any of the posts.
OC.org is fine for me, no problem
J.J.E.
I would rather carry a gun every day and never need it. Then not have one when needed
