Hey Ron HI, it's been a while I have been busy lately as a spotter for TCSD with my plane, but I kinda miss you

Update.

Work computer using Chrome = cannot access Easy Garden, Sufficient Self, BYH at all, was able to breifly access the home screen of BYH but was unable to click anything without getting the "forbidden" error.

Work Computer using IE = tried BYH and just got a cannot access this page.

My phone - Android, using standard browser, edge I believe = was able to get on BYH (not logged in) and click around, cannot access the other 3.

@ronott1, @room onthebroom, @featherhead007, @ShannonR, @Nabiki, do these links work for you?

BackYardHerds.com
SufficientSelf.com
TheEasyGarden.com

Open each open if you can, then click on something.

They worked for me.

Windows 10, Chrome... Should work. I use Firefox or Brave, but I care about my security.

BYH is still down for me, but TEG let me sign up this morning and even gave me a bunch of awards (1 month anniversary award about 30 days in advance) I can also see SufficientSelf without any issues.

From what I've heard, several mainstream website servers have crashed. That might be why BYH and everything else doesn't work for some people, idk.

@Nabiki I'm on Windows 10 Chrome too.

Hey all, we've been digging into this for the last 12 hours. We thought it was just a single-user having problems, but turns out it's more.

Short version: We did some "server hardening" to protect against threats, but just like all this stuff, when you do things to completely keep bad guys out, you sometimes keep out a few good ones too

We're working to tweak just the right bits to open things up enough for everyone to get in, but baddies to be blocked.

Oh, to clarify: The sister sites (and the BYC store) are hosted on a different set of servers than BYC.

Any idea why a few of us can get in but not others?
