Title: Attention all members!
Post by: cowboygames on February 20, 2019, 07:04:40 PM
Due to recent activity from foreign countries, namely Asian countries and some middle eastern, trying to download our entire collection of national secrets and crashing our server, we will for the time being only allow site access to members from North America, Western Europe and Australia. It is unfortunate that we have to do this, but we've been crashed recently by people from the listed banned countries overwhelming our server in attempts to download the entire site all at once. Until we can figure out a more user friendly and not prohibitively expensive way to keep this from happening, it has been decided to block access from the areas the problem originates. In tonight's case it was Bangladesh, but China has been a common one also. People from those areas can still get access while blocked by using a proxy server from outside their country, which will at least thwart the computers causing the problem. We appreciate your patience as we work through this and apologize for any past or future inconveniences. Thanks for your understanding, you may now continue to play with your slots :cool_thumb_up:

I had tried to log in a couple times during that duration with a white screen and user name and password.  I did so but it did not work.  Since it's back working I have changed my password.  Thanks Rob.  Freaking Hackers-They have become a everyday annoyance in our lives on not just this but everything.

If you have a Facebook account, it’s a good way to keep in touch with Joey at NLG. I did that when I found this earlier.

Yeah, they're a pain in the ass, but at least in this case it's more of an inconvenience than a huge problem fixing it. By the way, if there are any computer wizards out there with a better solution to avoid this issue, feel free to contact Joey and give him some ideas. We don't have a huge number of members in the banned area, but we like to be ooen and available to ALL slot hobbyists, thanks

haha...that was weird.
Server said for a bit that I was trying to access a "Restricted Area"?
I was only trying to "Log-In" into the main page.
I had to get in by deleting the former desktop link I had and log in thru Firefox.
Glad you computer wiz's fixed it.  :cool_thumb_up:
