I think this is probably the first big setback for TalkImg service since it launched, and it's amazing that it was working without problems for more than a year.
I hope nothing was lost in this attack, it would be problematic to restore all the files.
Let us know if you need any help joker_josue.

It shows how reliant this site's user experience is on your service. I don't know if money would help solve problems like this, but it seems like maybe a Grant system should be looked at to help developers like yourself have the necessary funds to make sure your project continues to thrive.
Once I have this resolved, I will have to better evaluate the next steps to take, to minimize this type of situation in the future.
But I'm really sad about this situation, you can't imagine how much I regret this inconvenience. I apologize to the entire community. I will continue to make every effort to resolve it.

Unfortunately, in this type of situation, there is no way to create a live backup. Since for server security, it is blocked from the outside.
But, I'm trying to configure and activate a cloudflare service in order to reactivate the site more quickly, until I find a definitive solution.

This is nothing urgent so take your time to fix everything and get back service online again.
TalkImg has become very popular with bitcointalk community and sadly that attracted more attackers, so I think you need to upgrade ddos protection after this incident.
Without a doubt, it is part of growth and learning.
In reality, for me, it is something urgent. I want to get the site online as quickly as possible.
But, unfortunately, I can't do much anymore, except monitor myself and try to control the situation.
Once again I apologize for the situation, and believe me that I am making every effort to return to normality.
Thank you for your support.

I checked my backups, and my last download was from August 11. When your server works again, I'll check what went wrong. Can you add more than the last 15 days to the backup zip, so I have a full backup again?I wanted to spin up a temporary server for you to point the domain to, so the images show up again, but that's kinda pointless if I miss months of recent uploads.
OK. As soon as everything returns to normal, we can review this situation.
I can create a backup file of all the images from any day I want.

Do we have any backup option until situation is back to normal, and why would someone attack TalkImg website?

Could the downtime be related to the pumpkin voting? That page looks sad now.
Maybe it could have helped. But, I find it strange that the topic has already existed for a few days and it was only 2 hours ago that the problem arose.
At first glance, we may be facing a DDoS attack.
We will continue to check the entire situation and resolve it quickly.
I am sorry to hear this JJ We will continue to check the entire situation and resolve it quickly.
When I was checking BSFL topic few minutes ago I saw that all divisions table images are working anymore.

I'm already checking the situation. I didn't give feedback before because I was traveling.
I am checking the situation and doing all the necessary things to get everything back to normal as soon as possible.
I apologize for the inconvenience caused.

Yep, also offline for me again. Looks like @joker_josue is updating the website. At least it's a different offline screen than 1 hour ago.
i believe this is not a technical issue or him updating something, but rather that his hosting provider (a2hosting) has suspended his account, which is why the website is down.

I don't think joker_josue updating something on the website but it looks like a service interuption from the hosting site. I can access the site an hour ago now its down.

/edit: Looks like the website can't be reached at all anymore.
Would be a shame if the hosting service took it down, lol.
/edit: Oh jesus, that was fast, looks like Talkimg is online again:
Talkimg is offline again. This website is currently unavailable.Some images uploaded on Talkimg do not appear on the forum.
So for a while I uploaded images using imgbb.
@joker_josue I hope he fixes it soon.
I tried using the website but got this weird page for the first time exactly 12 am at my local time (check code and time), then i tried to access the site again but got the block page with 503 error now. I guess you need to see this @joker_josue.
Yep, just wanted to use Talkimg, but also getting a 503 Service unavailable error.
Would talk am image, but no clue where to upload it, haha.
Hope the service is back soon. @joker_josue any estimated timeframe?

I’m just using the Safari browser on my iPhone. No VPN. I was able to upload the same image after some time had passed. That’s what made me think it was some sort of limiter. It happened today with 2 different images actually and I did eventually get them both uploaded. Never had any issues previously. Maybe it is just becoming popular and having its limits tested.
Can you point out one of those images you uploaded so I can check something?
Of course, the server can always be overloaded at times, leading to algae instability. Despite having good resources available, it is something that can really happen occasionally, and is almost impossible to avoid 100%. But, for now, I have no significant records that this is occurring. Anyway, I'll keep a closer eye on this situation.
I’m getting the same error repeatedly now. I suspect it is because I’ve been uploading a lot of images already today? Maybe there’s a limit per user or something? I’ll keep trying as I’m sure it will work for me again at some point, but wanted to say that I am also seeing this error in the event it helps troubleshoot any possible issues.
I can confirm it wasn't VPN issue, I have seen that error without VPN, but from last two days not seeing it anymore. Uploaded few images.
Strange, I didn't make any settings changes, nor do I have any upload limiters active.
Are you using Tor? What is your browser? Did you try to upload from another browser?
Does this only happen with a specific image, or with several different images?
