Quote from above:

"Pretty much every website on the Internet is once in a while experiencing mild DDoS attacks from script kiddies, but the extent of the attack at Mobile-Review, tells us that the site's Russian origin is more likely to be the reason for the attack, rather than negative press about Apple's iPhone. "

Well, I'm still waiting for even the tiniest bit of proof that the DDOS was initiated by Apple fans. The iPhone so-called 'negative press' by M-R wasn't so negative anyway IMO.

I thought only "The Sun" readers believed every anonymous claim they read!!

Does anyone have any idea when the MR forum will be back?

The site appears too be being updated now, so it's odd the forum is still down.

@ajeetpv
the site have been accessible for three days now, but the forum is still down, maybe they've decided to close the forum? I hope not.

That's good to hear I assume their must be some particular reason why the forum has been down longer than the rest of the site.

@Super Chimp
i was wondering the same. it does seem strange. on a scale of 1-3(out of 10), i wonder what the chances are of admin telling us all exactly what has been happening (when the forum is up and running, that is).

It is really odd as it doesn't even attempt to load the forum now, you just get a 404 error instead.

Is there not even a message on the main site? Has it been updated at all since before it went down?

yes it has, the interview with Plaschke and many news peaces have been added, too strange they mentioned nothing about the forum and this whole problem!

Indeed. It might be that Eldar is waiting for everything to get back to normal before he makes a statement about the issue.
