They have lots of cute graphics to show where things are breaking down but I figured this was enough to ask the question.

TTA has been under attack for nearly a week now. I don't have specifics and to be honest I don't know the difference between DDoS and DogDoo, but it is deliberate.

I'm unable to log on as well.

An ongoing denial of service attack from some pissed off goober. The dude who maintains the forum is using a service from CloudFlare to rectify it but when the attack is underway the whole site is affected.

Still something odd about it this morning. I click on it not even logged in, and a message pops up about "checking my browser?"

I believe that's a check that the CloudFlare service uses to protect against denial of service attacks.

Ok thanks, why doesn't it pop up when we visit here/this site?

TTA is always going down. I rarely go there because it's a pain in the ass trying to log on.
