Friends, The site will be moving back and forth between production and backup servers today whilst I implement several new security patches. This means there will be several outages of about 10 seconds at a time. Your security on BikerMatch is an absolute priority for us, and so filling up any security holes is an absolutely must. Thanks for understanding.

yea i think it's doing it now too... I'm having the site and server scanned for vulnerabilties. An external company are doing penetration testing which is having an adverse effect on the server right now (this is seperate from the 10-seconds of switching over I did 2 times earlier this afternoon). If it stays like this then I'll stop the testing

ok im stopping the scanning, it's really killing the site. I'll run it overnight when there's not so many people online.

Thanks Matt!
Had hoped that penetration testing would have been a lot more fun

RK - it was literally 10 seconds 2 times this afternoon. All the other outages this evening are because the security testing I've hired a company to do are killing the server (Didn't expect them to be really battering the site). I've stopped the testing for now tho
