Slow speed

..and then it crashed

embeds are back on as they were not the culprit

Will build a fresh server with some better protection next month. Until then we limp along and I'll restart services regularly.

It was mostly fine during the day. It's worth keeping track of what time the slowness happens

slower than dial up... anyone remember that lol

I remember going on a New-Years road-trip, while being on-call - and needing to stop and beg shop-owners to plug my laptop into their phone-lines to connect and solve a problem.
I had a pager. Honest-to-god fucking pager.

Very slow @ 07:28 NZST

Slow at 1050NZT. Taking 8 seconds to load pages.

[Smudge]

About 12-13 seconds to load this thread just now (11.04am NZDT).

[Smudge]

And likewise, took 8-9 seconds for the above message to go from the Quick Reply field to being posted.

home screen taking over 30 seconds to load, bots overloading perhaps

Yup

Temporarily hid all content to people not logged in

Feels quick now

[dogmeat]

Yeah I have just logged on for first time in 8 hours and it is much faster

I opened this back up a few days ago. It was fine until tonight

The forum is hidden to guests again. I'll try a better fix tomorrow

[canefan]

Refreshing speeds and speed of posting seems quite slow right now on my phone

Think it has improved the last few minutes

I made off topic private. Huge number of bots in the last couple of hours

@Duluth probably latched onto the thread title I put up... yeesh....

[Duluth]

Looks like the forum crashed. I just restarted it at 9:30am nzt

When did it stop responding? Late last night?

[Virgil]

I noticed it earlier this morning, maybe an hour or so ago?

Sucked because I was finally going to complete the Fernies, oh well moment has passed…

[Duluth]

It was longer than that

The forum is now locked for guests and embedding is switched off. It seems quick now

I'll open it back up after the upgrades are complete
