Seems like a DDOS attack, and we can't do much to prevent such, sorry for the inconvenience.

I'm a dedicated lurker
and usually log in every morning between 5 A.M. and 7 A.M. since 2003!
I haven't had any problems in the last few weeks.
Time Zone.... (UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada)
Maybe we have a direct line to France?

After a few days of withdrawal, and lots of medication, I can now continue my PB Forum addiction.

Just managed to get access 7:45:00 am Cet, doesn't appear to be going away.
times when the site appears down might suggest a US source.

Not necessary, it seems totally random.
And confirmed, it just happened again for the last two hours or so.

I almost feel guilty that I made this tip on searching the forum :
http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... 12&t=48941
My 5 cents on Search PureBasic Forum :
I experience that much more results can be found with a Google Search like this "PureBasic bitblt", in this case if bitblt is what to look for.
I hope this isn't a cause for the problems (else the solution is found then too).

@Joris
Why do you think Google Search is the cause of the recent downtimes? All search engines cache the website content and perform searches on that, else they wouldn't be able to give you results that fast...
@topic
Really strange. I've never seen the PB forum to be on and offline for such a long time. Must be a pretty big attack then!
