If you look back it looked like a DOS attack was launched on this
group from our friendly neighborhood trouble makers.

I doubt it is a DOS attack. Every year when the cruise season starts
getting hotter their forums start bogging down. More like their IT is
not competent and they don't have enough servers for their traffic.

Does "this site" mean cruisecritic.com or cruisecritic.co.uk?

I was able to get on this morning. The issues have been on and off for
about a month. They have put notices up that they are working on the
issues. It has been frustrating.

The messages I saw had nothing to do with cruises.
