Judging from this thread this is a new occurrence? I keep getting the same notification that the site is not live.

Our site hoster was experiencing a huge DDoS attack that was in the news. Just so happened it was on the servers that also hosted DLF. Sorry for the inconvenience there was absolutely nothing we could do about it. Was very frustrating for us as well! We've been told they have mitigated the attack and it looks like things are up and going again.

Hey all, very sorry for the lack of info. I really should have posted something here early, my apologies.

As Jeff said our hosting service provider, wpengine, uses a major datacenter called Linode for hosting. Linode has been experiencing an ongoing series of DDOS attacks for days, crippling several of their datacenters and consequently impacting our website hosting. Our forum is hosted elsewhere so it was unaffected. Every time they thought they had recovered, a new series of attacks were launched. This was a major attack against one of the largest datacenters in the US, we just happened to be caught in the middle.

It looks like things have settled now.

Sorry for any inconvenience this caused, it's been a rough few days with few good options for mitigating the effects of the attack. Thanks for your patience, and I hope everyone has a terrific new year!

Thank you, not knowing anything was my biggest issue and surprised there were not more pitchforks and torches involved. Glad everything is back to normal.

Sadly, there are still issues when click on a player in the rankings simply says cannot connect as was the case previously. Thanks.

Devy Big Board rankings not there.

2016 Rookie rankings says cannot connect.

Click on any NFL player still gets nothing.

Thanks
