mbBux – Recent downtimes are NOT a scam!
I just got some recent news from the coder (Jack Ellis) of mbBux regarding the recent downtimes of the site. You probably have already noticed that the site does load extremely slowly or often times not at all. Some people unfortunately only think narrow-minded and are immediately accusing mbBux to be a scam. They are NOT trying to scam ANYBODY!
They current downtime is most probably due to a DDoS attack (Distributed Denial of Service) on their servers. To put it simple, a script kiddy or mbBux hater (maybe another PTC site?) is attacking the mbBux servers by flooding it with multiple requests. That’s often times done with help of a so called bot net, where dozens of Zombie computers (yep, a funny word I know) are sending multiple HTTP requests several times in a row, over and over again. The server can’t stand that massive flood of traffic and simply shuts down or does react extremely slowly.
Accusing mbBux for scamming other people would only make sense if they’d actually have really started their whole site and people would already have invested their money into it. But since mbBux is currently still in Pre-Release phase, there’s not a single reason why they should scam any of us. It simply wouldn’t make sense! Remeber that!
Ok. I’m sure the site will be up agains soon. Brendan, the owner of mbBux, has announced that they’ll put the site on a differnet, more powerful server ASAP!
Let’s hope the best,

PS: Do you wanna know what the “mb” in mbBux does stand for? Well, I know the answer, muharharhar… 
PPS: It isn’t that difficult to find out. And no, I don’t got it from Jack or even Brendan himself

Hi,
I guess they are still facing heavy DDoS attacks and their servers are beaten down by those script kiddies. It’s nearly impossible right now to get mbBux loading without any problems, not to mention signing up as a new member. I think that’s also their main problem, without many members they simply can’t attract any advertisers. No advertisers, no ads. Let’s hope they’ll get their problems fixed real soon, I simply have too many refs already to just forget about mbBux.
See you,
Querblogger
