Virginia Gun Owners Forum - VGOF

Is anyone else having problems accessing the opencarry.org and vaguntrader sites?.

OCDO: http://opencarry.mywowbb.com/

VAGunTrader: http://www.vaguntrader.com/

OCDO - yes its not loading for me either. vaguntrader looks ok.

Nope, I've been on VAGUNTRADER all morning and opencarry.org pulled up fine for me.

Actually, it's Linux. But I did try it on Windows too.

VAGunTrader is still up on my work computer, it would appear the forums side of OpenCarry is down, but the rest of the site is up.

I can see VAGunTrader, but I can't login. Seems to be related since both use the wowbb system

I thought that too, but checked a few other sites that use WowBB and they all work, and I am logged in an communicating with a few people via PM on VaGunTrader at the moment...

Gun Trader did some house cleaning to remove some garbage and accidently removed some members registrations... YOu may have to re-register,,,,I did last night,,,,

Thanks Spence, they tossed me out with the garbage

No problems w/ VGT. I haven't been able to access OCDO since Sunday evening.

I suspect foul play

OCDO Forum has been down for 2 days now. No announcement on the home page. Very strange. I agree with the conspiracy theory. Do you think it was MAIG, The Brady Campaign, BATFE or the NRA?

email fron John Pierce:

We are suffering a Denial of Service attack. I hope to have it back up
shortly.


John

Amazing. They still can't fight with truth and honor.

Brady supporter? maybe.

BATFE? No. They would just find a reason to try and take our guns.

NRA? Nope, it is too busy cutting deals, and is in denial that 'grass roots' are even capable of being large enough to be effective in any way. They don't realize they've lost touch.

MAIG? HELL NO. MAIG doesn't focus on peasants. They don't believe 'the people' have any power at all.

Addition: Officer.com ?? Some of them think we are evil cop-haters. They never even notice how many officer's that post there have screen names similar to ones on OCDO.

Is there a cyber law yet to punish DoS attacks?

P.S. I post OCDO.

Maybe it was someone here trying to drive some traffic from OCDO to VGOF?. I smell a good conspiracy theory in the works.

OCDO and VaGunTrader are down again today. Seems to have been that way all day.

Glad I don't use "mywowbb". Homegrown site here at VGOF

Yep, they were down this morning and still seem to be. VAGunTrader isn't technically "down", the database just needs to be repaired. Therefore I don't think it's a DOS attack, might just be a server side glitch.

My old PHPBB3 forum used to do that sometimes, never knew why. Repair the tables in the database and move on....

Same error when you visit the OCDO forums. Database tables marked as "crashed"

That's too much of a coincidence, they must be hosted on the same server.
