Still down for me

Laniakea · 13/10/2018 17:36

we can get on from Germany but not the UK

CantPleaseEvery1 · 13/10/2018 17:36

Website appears to be up and running again now

ErrolTheDragon · 13/10/2018 17:31

I can see the site ok. I'm using a VPN, don't know if that makes a difference? (Or maybe the site is up again)

Kewqueue · 13/10/2018 17:27

I can see it.

CantPleaseEvery1 · 13/10/2018 17:25

Hope this link works....
FPFW confirmed this is not a malicious attack, merely technical problems. They have put an email link on so you can still forward your consultation response

There may have been a DDOS attack after Zucker won his case in Court and was awarded damages, the apology was on the defendant's site then the site went down the next day.

"A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack occurs when multiple systems flood the bandwidth or resources of a targeted system, usually one or more web servers. Such an attack is often the result of multiple compromised systems (for example, a botnet) flooding the targeted system with traffic."

lol well if anyone had any lingering doubt that TRAs are prepared to allow women rights to any other point of view....or that there's no anti women silencing going on in this debate..... or that the TRAs themselves have no faith that their argument can stand on its own and win on its own merits in fair discussion?

There is it.

MPs and journalists please copy. Ms Mordant, your consultation is getting less valid by the hour.

Nic said it's a server issue that they're fixing now. Annoying but just one of those things.

Thanks Gabcsika

GraceTheDisgrace · 13/10/2018 17:02

papersmile yes they are aware and are working on it. They posted to FB within the past few minutes about it.

GraceTheDisgrace · 13/10/2018 17:01

homoseXXualmum thanks I didn't know, it's only my 2nd day!

papersmile · 13/10/2018 16:49

Do you think FairPlay are aware? I wondered about tweeting them? They haven't issued a statement. It was ok earlier today, I went on to look at the guidance and was coming back now to fill in the form.

I hope its up again soon as their pre-filled in email will encourage more people to take part.

NotTerfNorCis · 13/10/2018 16:49

They just said on Facebook that the website is down, but not why.

homoseXXualmum · 13/10/2018 16:46

Careful with google links please... one can find out the email of the owner and if people vieweing the document are logged in you can see the username of their account at the top. (so please don't post or click google drive links with your real name or email)

It's not working for me and my location is not UK.

DDOS means denial of service. Its when Internet wronguns hijack a server and send fake requests to access a page.

Because the page is overloaded with requests it brings the website down. They are normally short term.

OrchidInTheSun · 13/10/2018 16:08

In the meantime, you can watch the latest FPFW video on their facebook page

Link not working for me

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 13/10/2018 16:01

From twitter:

Hi - we are looking into the problem and hopefully it will be sorted out soon. Most people can still access the site. Its only affecting a few people.

hungryhippie · 13/10/2018 16:01

I thought it was just my laptop! I suspect foul play
