Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

FYI - RV-Dreams Journal Is Down & Host Working On Getting It Back Up
Permalink  

Hi Everyone,

Since last Thursday night, cyber criminals have been attacking our Journal/Blog software & host, Typepad (http://techcrunch.com/2014/04/21/say-media-owned-blogging-platform-typepad-enters-day-5-of-on-and-off-ddos-attacks/).  In these attacks, the criminals flood the servers with data causing service nightmares and then they try to extort money. 

Typepad was able to get our site up and running for several hours each day, but this morning the attack intensified and we've been unable to log in and our Journal hasn't been accessible by the public for hours.  At this point we have no idea when it might be back up.  Fortunately, our content is safe.

Too bad I can't post 'cause I've got some great photos from yesterday's waterfall tour.  smile

Anyway, just thought we should make as many people aware as possible.

And this is why we have the main website, the Journal, and the Forum all on different platforms with different hosts and then tie them together.  At least two out of three will work when one is down.  smile

Thank you so much, Howard!  We thought it may have been our internet connection - we still use dialup!

Thanks for the update. We had tried to access the journal several times, and it looked different on each device. Sometimes we just got an error message. So it is very erratic. I hope they catch the people who are doing this!!!

Everything finally became operational last night (Tuesday) around 9:00.  Got the waterfall tour posted, but I'm still catching up.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

If you have a link in your favorites, be sure it is to http://www.rv-dreams-journal.com/.

Thanks for your patience.

Howard
