Americas Cardroom has been experiencing "Ddos" attacks over the past few weeks and as a result they've removed most of their regular MTT's As ACR is the site I play on ive played a fraction of the tournaments I normally play, and it's affecting the rhythm of my game. Is anyone else out of sync due to lack of play?

YES. There was a stretch where it was seriously everyday. I'm not mad at them as it's not their fault but it is very frustrating that people care enough to stop us from enjoying ourselves. What do they even gain?

ACR is the first site I started playing on after a long online poker absence. The recent hack attack prevented me from playing a scheduled first depositor freeroll and had caused a few other issues regarding playing games during my free time. I have played other sites instead.
I would also like to know what public information is available regarding how this disruption was able to occur in the first place.

Have the attacks slowed down or stopped? It wasn't worth logging in during that recent stretch.

Although this was more than 2 months ago,I wasn't aware of it and I really thought people stopped doing things like that.

ACR's ddos problems are rediculous. The fact that they haven't been able to prevent them for about a year straight now is extremly sad.

Yes, it affects a lot, but that's typical in any room, of course, they must work hard in those cases as many players are dedicated to try to take advantage of the poker rooms by bots

ACR has been stable for a while now. All tournaments are back up and running, and I don't beleive they had any issues during the recent BOSS series. Hope this continues.

I'm not sure what a Ddos attack is, can you please explain? The program crashes on me frequently, is this the same/different issue?

I agree, sometimes they have technical problems. Especially it is annoying when I expect to play in some kind of tournament.
