J-Doc Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 I heard a rumor the owner is in trouble with taxes? Anyone know what happened to Bassboatcentral.com forum? (BBC) I know some guys that are probably just beside themselves that they are not able to tell someone how much knowledge they have and what prop to use. Lol!! Need marine repair?

fishinwrench Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 Pardon me for saying it, and maybe it's just me......But those people over there are strange, they don't seem real. It's like 75% of them are bots. dtrs5kprs and J-Doc 2

Quillback Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 They had some DOS attacks a few weeks ago, then this. The "for sale" section is still active as far as I can tell, but the forum is kaput.

J-Doc Posted November 29, 2015 Author Posted November 29, 2015 I don't miss it. Just curious as to what happened. I don't know what a DOS attack is but.....it sounds serious. I read on Walleye Central that it could have been hacked and the board sponsors were NOT happy because of loss of income around Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals they were offering. Paying top dollar for ad space and then not getting the ads. BBC owes a refund for ad space or credit I'd say. Need marine repair? Send our own forum friend "fishinwrench" a message.

Tanderson15 Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 Thier servers were attached and are down. I use the lowrance form a lot on BBC and it has been very helpful for me.
Quillback Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 DOS is Denial of Service attack. Ties up a server with a high volume of service requests.

I go to BBC for the fishing related stuff, not the lounge. The electronic sections have been one of the best assets to me for learning the ins and outs of my graphs. It's very helpful to read about others reviews when it comes to purchasing tackle. You get a pretty idea about what's good and what sucks. Just stay out of the lounge and the place becomes a lot more enjoyable. That goes for a most forums though in my experience.
dtrs5kprs Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 That's unfortunate on several levels. For all the irritation it caused, it was a good place to get DIY and troubleshooting info, especially brand specific. I've fixed a lot of problems thanks to some of the more knowledgeable folks there. Must be a lot of guys sitting home in their jerseys looking at blank screens... J-Doc 1
