Therefore, please do not use imagebam, or any host, that provides live playing gifs in those specific threads. If you see your gif playing once you post, try to use a smaller thumbnail and if that does not work use a different approved host.

    I can only get onto the forum occasionally. Usually (since the hacking incident) I cant connect and I get this error message. How do I fix it?

    Same here! It looks like DNS problems, zone file is refreshing by resolving IP (68.169.98.138) to Badass provider main page, instead to phun.org

    I'm still getting the 404 error. But whenever I unplug my ethernet cable, wait a moment and plug it in again phun works. Weird.

    Since the forum is back online, I can browse it for some couple dozens mouseclicks until I suddenly get

    Not Found

    The requested URL /index.php was not found on this server.
    Apache Server at forum.phun.org Port 80

    If I go to the home page then, I get the information page that was created after the forum went down.
    Then, it takes some hours, and the forum works again. And then, as soon as again those couple dozens clicks, the problem starts again.
    I saw this cycle now happening 8 times.

    I have the exact same experience. I suppose it's because the new server host can't handle the traffic and bandwidth that the site gets but it seems that other people can post to the forum during hours that I cannot access it at all.

    I like Phun, but I'm getting tired of the chase to find a working link to it at the moment. Perhaps in time things will improve or even get back to normal. In the meantime. I'm happy for whatever little access I can get. :shrug:

    It could be DNS issue. NSlookup gives 68.169.98.138 as phun.org IP.
    when I go http://68.169.98.138

    I get Badass Company front page.

    forum.phun.org is 68.169.98.139 and in this moment point back to forum.
    When I cant access forum.phun.org get the same 404 err on http://68.169.98.139

    hope this help.

    I step wise navigated until the forum stops working, this I saw:
    The last output from the Firefox plugin Live HTTP Headers
    In the hope this helps to narrow down the problem.

    It hasn't done it today or yesterday, but in the last week or so I have been kicked off the forum a few times. Any one else had that happened to them?
