vB.com/.org loading slowly?

Just wanted to see who else may be expieriencing this issue, as it's kind of frustrating. I'm guessing it's a DoS or DDoS, but sure seems to be hogging a lot of bandwidth.

Everything fine on my end now but I was having issues yesterday. Thankfully my Nintendo Wii managed to keep be occupied for 8 hours this afternoon....I came real close to turning it in to a paper weight. -,-

So you guys are still getting at least one DDOS attack every year eh? ;)

How has this been done ?

Ive lost all access from my normal ISP, Ive had to resort to a russian proxy server to get access to vb.com and here.

We lost access to VB.org, for a few hours yesterday, seemed to be limping along.
All looks good now.

The way it was done was probably a range ban, or a country ban. Usually attacks as such originate from the same area with the guaranteed bandwidth and all... And you may have just been in the wrong area :p
