Linus Tech Tips server overload or maintenance?

[AvMaverick]

I am constantly being hit by this, please resolve!

Same here I can barely get into the website without it crashing. Thought it was an issue with my network. Might be a denial of service attack or just maintenance.

I am happy it's not just me. That said, I think it's the new fiber optics upgrade Linus mentioned in his Instagram/YT stories. Sweet 25 Gbps!

To my knowledge they don't host the forum on their own servers. And that 25Gbps upgrade is only for the workstations.

Oh! That's new to me! Thanks!

Yeah same here. Getting plenty of errors, but can eventually load a topic if I retry once or twice.

I get that too, but seems like a backdoor entrance though Google and can access some parts of forum

It should be back now, there was a DDoS.

Maybe it's that secret CIA server that just got raided and taken down by Special Forces

Don't see reason why they'd suddenly get a that much bigger influx of viewers, it seems more like technical issues or denial of service attack...

 

EDIT:

Colonel_mortis confirmed my predictions at the same time I've posted this. How miserable people have to be to attack someone's freaking forum heh...

Thank god, thought the forum considered me a bot, they should always do that security feature, to stop bot spamming
