This morning's outage, maybe 15 minutes in length, came to us courtesy of the RIPE network in Amsterdam. The specific URL requests seemed somewhat ordinary, but there were numerous attempts to post replies (they weren't logged in). The requests were sufficiently voluminous to require automation and constitute a DOS attack. The IP was 62.210.188.165 if someone's curious enough to investigate further.

Was getting white screen last night
There are a bunch of outage topics, but this is the most recent.

Last night, perhaps around 2:00 am Percy time, when trying to load pages I would NOT get server not available type messages. Instead I would just get a totally white screen.

The homepage (https://www.evcforum.net/) worked fine, but field of snow for any forum page I tried.

Re: Was getting white screen last night
Checking the logs, you were accessing the site until 1:40:01 AM, and then not again until 2:06:11 AM, but there were a few hundred accesses from other IP addresses during that period. I don't have an explanation, but I don't think the problem was related to the website. Let me know if it happens again.

Re: Was getting white screen last night
Was getting white screen again this past Friday morning, I think it was at about 1:45 am your time.

Got it on two different computers, both using the same internet provider. One was using Chrome, the other Firefox.
