I try going to planetgamecube.com and it is a white screen. So I refresh, again and again until about my tenth time. When it finally loads the ad. Then I go inside the site. I click on the article; same problem, white screen. Refresh a few times and it finally loads.
Now this problem has crossed over into the forums too, and gotten real annoying. I've spent about ten minutes just trying to post one topic. I think the core problem with this is the ads aorund PGC, maybe they are using some java or html that is screwing this up, but I have no idea, HELP PLEASE.

It's wonderfully magnficent on every website except for PGC, which means it's not a browser problem. I have to post entirely using the Quick Reply function now because the reply pages simply will not load for me.

I'll stick around a while longer, but I may just up and leave until you guys get this whole issue sorted out.
I am a Firebird user here. I also tried the site in IE, and it's the same crap. Like you, I am debating moving my hide elsewhere. If there's anything I won't put up with, it's waiting an hour for a page to load. If I wanted to put up with this, I would just go get AOL dialup.
I mean, I can see having site problems for a couple of days. Even a week is understandable. Months? No. There's just no excuse for that.

Well, that's the main problem when you have a site that doesn't host it's own servers in the same physical location as one of the employees. Beleive me, if I were in the same state our servers are hosted in, I'd have this fixed.
You might have noticed that the server appeared to be down for a few hours today. The datacenter our server is hosted in had some problems, resulting in every server on that same segment being unreachable.
I'm pushing HARD to have our server moved to another datacenter entirely at this point. The thing that frustrates me is that the problem is NOT in the server. The server is always up and running, and is not even under load. A network problem, again, likely in the datacenter, is simply dropping random packets to the server.
Seriously, it's not like we're not trying, but moving datacenters is an absolute last ditch option ... and I think we've reached it at this point.

Anyways, sorry for being so harsh Rick. It's just that PGC was once my favoritest site without question, and lately it's been down so much that it's not even worth waiting around for it to load, and of course with a server that unreliable, it's not like PGC is reporting the news first thing or anything. I just want PGC to survive.

And thanks for sticking with us through these admittedly trying times. We do this for you guys, so knowing you guys are concerned actually helps make it easier.

Hopefully we won't have to wait a month for this to be worked out this time. See ya guys around whenever the site does start working again. I might go play some games or do some work in the meantime.

1) Using a spoofed IP address not in use on the Internet, an attacker sends multiple SYN packets to the target machine.
2)For each SYN packet received, the target machine allocates resources and sends an acknowledgement (SYN-ACK) to the source IP address.
3)Because the target machine doesn't receive a response from the attacking machine, it attempts to resend the SYN-ACK five times, at 3-, 6-, 12-, 24-, and 48-second intervals, before unallocating the resources 96 seconds after attempting the last retry. If you add it all together, you can see that the target machine allocates resources for more than 3 minutes to respond to just one SYN attack."
After a few "attacks" the target eventually runs out of resources and is unable to handle any more connections, thus denying service to users.
