blonde poker forum

Anyone else having problems. I got kicked out of pacific, and cannot log into stars.

I have tried different PC's, different ISP's and no luck.

Both helplines are engaged... Grrrr

Internet poker boards is where u wanna find out.

I've been OK on Stars - but it looks like I'm in a minority.

Wonder what the problem is?

Stars is definitely having problems. I am in but in a minority. Most of the tournament registration tables are incorrect and the central clock seems to have frozen at 1530 hrs. The sit and gos are having problems too.

stars wont let new players on till they sort out the problem

suppose it saves me spunking last nights winnings

woooo it's back :D

If lots if sites are/were experiencing problems that suggests a bigger issue.  Denial of Service attacks? 

:dontask:

the Sunday Mill has been pushed back an hour - looks like an all nighter tonight then....

I got a response off Pacific Poker, apparently it was due to essential maintenance. Yeah right.....

Stars came back on at about the same time as well.... Hmmmm

could be DDOS attacks - If I was a crim then Sunday night would be best time to start the threat as it would do the most damage to their business.


See what happens during the night.

Gl if u are in the Mill.

Would make sense that those of us already logged in were OK and didn't suffer any problems, but they were stopping any new connections being made?

Someone is definitely hitting the major sites tonight. Full tilt wont let me in suggest they may be getting DDOS attack and their anti DDOS is kicking in.

damm means i will waste some $ playing a small plo8 event

Sorry if I'm being a bit daft, but what's a DDOS attack?

Dreaded Dry Onshore Shark Attack!

How does a shark get out of the sea?

that's why it's dreaded I guess, if it does, we're all in deep trouble

yes, but even if it did get out of the sea it could not get anywhere - unless it grew legs. In which case, yes, I could see why it would be dreaded. I would dread it very much indeed.

It's an organised attempt to disrupt internet communication of a business.  It is possible because stupid w**kers the world over don't bother to install a firewall and downlaod dubious software.  At a pre-arranged point in time the software contacts the site flooding it.

Don't think that this is the problem here as the crash was immediate and apart from the time clock being wrong etc. the connection was ok after I got back on.

here is how it may look

Well you know that people dump shopping trolleys in the sea, well the shark carries one into the surf then catches the wave onto the beach (obviously does not happen with shingle beaches which is where i holiday-Im not stupid!) and can ride for around 1 mile if he gets enough momentum devouring any holdiayers along the way! The hard bit is finding the sea afterwards!

Here is one below pushing the trolley intot he surf. If you didnt believe me before......

yes, I've seen that happen off Felixstowe. Here was a pic in the local paper....

I love the way you wrote shark on it just in case nobody coould tell! You should do them drawings they do in big court cases. Your obviously very gifted!

P.S. Is it ever that sunny in Felixstowe?

Very good ....

Wish I'd gone to bed instead of playing to 3am and bubbling for the FT of a guaranteed seat to the WSOP. Had a 30 minute heads up then crashed ..........................................out

Poker can really smack you in the face sometimes...

oh well - until next Sunday adieu

Im playing a WSOP 3 seats guaranteed on FT for Dewi bach, Am CL but long way to go!

Interesting though that lots of different rooms were hit at the same time.  I've not seen anything like that before - guess it could be a major backbone issue somewhere - or maybe KP broke the Internet?

in a word: No
