+stevo185 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Hi all. I've been away for a week - rained every day - so forgive me if I've missed something, but when I try to check cacherstats.com Bullguard says the site has been blocked due to it hosting viruses malware and exploits?? Has something changed? I don't have problems with any other of my usual sites, and it was working fine before I went away. Cheers. Steve. Quote Link to comment

It was working fine yesterday, but today when I log on to it, I get only a blank screen (might be Chrome's way of dealing with some anomaly). Not had any notification of malware, but I do know that occasionally after a geocaching.com update, cacherstats goes down for a bit while they work the new format in to their code.

+Gushoneybun Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I looked a couple of days ago, it diverted me to adverts. I tried yesterday and again earlier today and the same thing. Quote Link to comment
+louie69 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 same here it worked fine and now it directs me to adverts also. Quote Link to comment
+Team Noodles Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 can't seem to find my groupon stats either! Quote Link to comment
+Grizzly Pair Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I just get directed to an indexs site that says cacherstats does not exist. I see the same question is being asked on the American main forum as well, no-one has an answer there either. Quote Link to comment
+Grand High Pobah Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Hi all. Sorry for the late reply. I am the keeper of Cacherstats. The web hosting company took the website down because of excessive resource consumption. After some anaylsis, it was determined that a bot was beating up on the site so we are now atempting to put an end to the bot caused problems. We thought we had it all taken care of but for some reason, the stand in page cannot be removed. Their tech support staff has been trying to resolve that issue since midday Saturday. Hopefully we will get things under control soon. Quote Link to comment
+Grand High Pobah Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I am happy to report that Cacherstats.com is back up and running. Some of the data is a little out of sync but right now the goal is to identify the true source of the problem and to provide solutions that will keep the problem from reoccuring. I will try to keep you informed about what is going on with posts here. The ultimate solution may be down the road a piece, but proper solutions will be found. Ya all have fun and go find some caches for me to count. Quote Link to comment
+Gushoneybun Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Thanks for the update and your time and effort in maintaining the site Quote Link to comment
+stevo185 Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 Thanks to all for confirming it wasn't just me, and to GHP for fixing it. Normal service is resumed. Steve. Quote Link to comment
