    Main defcon site ( https://www.defcon.org/ ) works for me without error message. Slow, but it is working and available.

          Another example of how post count is meaningless... so many posts from me with nothing to do with hacking, just administratrivia and management info.

          I'm delayed with maintenance. Will start at 9pm.

            Maintenance mostly complete.

            Please reply here if you notice strangeness with the forums or see something is broken. If you can't post, email us at defconforums@gmail.com with the problem you found so we can investigate it.

            Thanks!

              "host unreachable" occasionally from pics, www, forums web servers from defcon.org have been reported. It appears to be intermittent and a refresh later appears to work. Please report if you see this problem. I first observed this at around 10:00pm pacific time and saw it a few more times up through to now.

                  There might be a small problem with uploading new avatar pix within the limits.

                    Custom avatar images can be a max of 64x64 pixels and 10k in size. Some of the built-in avatars are a little larger, if you want to use one of them.

                    Do you have a jpeg that is 64x64 pixels in size or smaller but more than 10k in size?

                      Forums for Defcon 19 events rolled out based on confirmations from leaders/organizers claims of contests and events that will be returning.

                      New Ideas, Drunken Banter, and related forums for contests/events moved to new de19 contests/events forum.

                        After a leave of absence as a non-mod, converge has decided to come back as a moderator. He is a mod again. There is more to this story, but it is more entertaining to spin it into a mystery and not provide any details surrounding the events that have transpired. Someone else can reveal details if they want to. :-)

                          Rumor has it the story involves a case of turnips, several female football hooligans from Leeds, and a midnight prisoner exchange at Checkpoint Charlie.

                          And if that wasn't the rumor, it is now.

                            is there anything odd about the forums the past couple of days? looks like there has been no posting since the 22nd.

                            it was weird logging in with my usual "show me new threads" command and having it say "nothing new here" ... sometimes that's a sign my cookie is a little wonked. but it really does seem like no new posts are recorded.

                            anyone remember seeing traffic so slow recently? or did something happen to the database?

I don't feel cool when I go there. I'm tired of seeing John Mayer's face pop up. I feel like I'm being hustled when I visit there, and I don't think their product is that great. DRM, low bit rate, etc... OiNK it existed because it filled a void of what people want."

                              It's just been really, really, slow.

                                Yeah. People probably downloading defcon videos and recovering from toorcon and related events.
