In US Central Daylight Time, I was unable to connect an hour ago, but as of 5 PM it is working again.
Another totally different site had a similar problem last week, with an absurd number of accesses by unregistered users, but they took measures and it works now.

In a very, very broad way, art has two steps

1:  get an idea, be creative

2:  Execute the idea (write it, paint it, sculpt it etc etc)

Writing is hard, or at least for me it is (and I suspect I am not the only one).  But it's the work that is necessary to create art!  Having an idea is not enough.  Every paragraph, every sentence has to be crafted.  You can't just tell create a prompt to have AI write it - imagine how ridiculously large a prompt would have to be to write a novel-lenght story!

The work is what transforms ideas into art.  If a computer wrote it for you, it's not art, and it's not YOUR story.

Why would someone target this site of all places?!?  Glad  you were able to mitigate the attack...

A few people noticed the issues manifesting tonight on the forum, we appear to have been under attack again (distributed denial of service) since early on the 13th. I instituted some brutal rate limiting earlier and blocked some countries that normally rarely access the site, and that seems to have fended it off, traffic dropped back to normal levels about 8pm UTC. However I've had to relax the rate limiting somewhat to allow the forum to be usable, so it may return.

Unfortunately this has also gotten in the way of this weekend's story update, but I should get round to that tomorrow evening.

Interesting. I read that story. I'd be up for that. And welcome the opportunity to learn from you regarding various self-bondage options. I tried sending you a private message but I don't know if you received that so I decided to post again.

I was hoping you would say AZ or NV so you could help me film myself staked out in the desert but KY is probably better.  OH here.  I am 5'9 170.  I am within an 45 min of Cincinnati hopefully you are close to that.  Since we are close in height it would be awesome to be tied spread eagle to each other like in the gromets plaza story "Dual Self Bondage".  Check that out and see if you would be interested.  If we got together I could demonstrate some really crazy stuff.  I can do a wicked self bondage hogtie with 1/4" cotton clothes line.  Let me know if you are interested.
