DEFCON

Dreadwolf Excitement on Forum CONdition

DEFCON 1 - A (game) launch is imminent or has arrived. Moderators are fully in the zone.
DEFCON 2 - We are one step away from launch, before or after. Moderators are at peak readiness.
DEFCON 3 - We are at a level of readiness well above 'normal' due to game activity, hot news or things kicking off outside of a game launch.
DEFCON 4 - We are at a higher level of activity above our baseline. Moderation is, er, moderate.
DEFCON 5 - The lowest level of activity during game hiatus. Pretty chilled moderation, few around bar the usual suspects.

We are currently at DEFCON 5

ProBoards were having issues earlier which took the site down.
We're back up now, but I've had reports of people losing posts. Hopefully, that will sort itself out.

Some DDOS attacks advised by ProBoards.
Some choppy coverage which they are dealing with.

As was helpfully suggested, BSN should have a DEFCON status, which has been added to the OP.

We will also continue to post the occasional ProBoards status updates here.

A note on BSN's 'secure' status.

Most pages are 'not secure' so financial data and passwords can be stolen - but we sell nothing, have no shopping pages and no personal data is collected outside of the login process.

As a matter of interest, the forum login pages are secure (https), protecting your password for this site.

In the near future, all pages will be secure https coded (from ProBoards Support):

With the Anthem VIP Demo dropping today and BSN page views over double this time last week at around 100,000 hits per day, it's time to raise our 'excitement' level.

We are now at DEFCON 2
