It wasn't running right for part of the evening last night - completely went down for me close on 9.30pm, tried again periodically up to  11.30pm and no luck each time.  The same this morning.  So yes, down getting on for 14 hours I think.

Well I checked it at about 6pm yesterday and it was fine, then at 11pm I checked again and it wasn't working so somewhere between then.. Bit inconvenient but hey Ho, just have to rely on other advertising methods untill fixed

Merged. I know I'm banging my head against a brick wall here, but can we not have another day of people starting endless panicky duplicate threads when we already have one here? Ta :).

Thanks Amy.   I noticed.  We can't talk about guys not reading our profiles and then do exactly the same on here.  Thanks.

Something I'd like to add is that although they tweet estimated fix times, it is difficult to predict how long an IT problem will last or take to be fixed.

Instead of numerous "They've tweeted they'll be back online by this time" posts, "they say it's a DDOS attack wassat?" I'd advise sitting tight, getting on as best you can until it's back online - which could be in 1 hour, or 1 week. I'm guessing AW don't actually know any better than this either, and are simply trying to do their best thinking it might appease folk.

Yes and how long will it take the guys to get on, browse and then contact.  Sounds like another holiday Monday.

Yes, well I know many don't even take down your number until the day............even when they've booked days or weeks in advance, then when it goes off line it's like "Oh what do I do?". Last time I actually googled a lady's name for a guy on a local forum who'd posted asking how he was going to confirm his booking with her. From the info he gave I guessed she'd have a web presence elsewhere.

So many people just don't know how to get off their bum, use a bit of common sense and do a little bit for themselves.

Most I'm guessing will just hang up their boots until the site is back online going without or nip to their local parlour.

Meh, I'm on several sites but about 95% of my work comes from AW. Luckily had a few regulars booked in today so I'm ok. Enjoyed a nice hour shopping this morning as well!

I don't mind it as much, do hope it's back up today tho!

I have been told it because they are deleting profiles.....

They have a list every monday telling to shareholders who has been deleted and who is being watched.....

i have been told they are shut down due to "cleaning up" the site...

dont know if this is true or not???

you can go on to twitter and speck with them direct...

Deleting profiles won't break the site, nor is that anything to do with a DDOS attack (basically their servers are being hammered by millions of site hits generated by *someone*). The shareholders would NEVER want anything affecting the site's useability and it's ability to generate income.

They are not 'taking the piss'. They, their shareholders etc will lose a lot of money. It is VERY simple to bring down a site and quite frankly if US Defense Agencies and Blue Chip companies have issues stopping Ddos attacks, then AW does not stand much of a chance.

I am actually impressed with the speed (yes, 3 days) that they dealt with the last major attack.

The main site has a lot of information on other forms of advertising. Additionally it is helpful if you google what a punter would when looking for you as alocal escort, you can then advertise on sites the google search brings up.

My phone and email has gone NUTS today due to AW going down, due to a few simple adverts elsewhere. So certainly, not having your eggs in one basket will help when ANY site is attacked.
