Ralph seriously... What the F is up with this website?

[rforsythe]

PM me whatever your IP is, and the exact times you see problems. Best if you do this from a desktop, as phones may not give the same results. Go to www.whatismyip.com to find it if you don't know. It could very well be the DDoS rate limiting kicking in, I had to crank it up to 11 a while back due to attacks on the site. I see literally none of these issues from my end, but it's possible that some of you are coming through some kind of shared proxy IP or otherwise just triggering a bunch of simultaneous sessions which are causing the system to give you the finger.

[rforsythe]

Definitely the rate limiting (thanks for the IP, Dean). I nuked the list and turned it way down for now, as long as we aren't being DoS'd that will remain. See if you guys still have issues.

The limiting was put in place a while back when I had to do it just to keep things up at all, but some of you people have so little productive shit to do during the day that I think the server actually thinks you're an attacker.

Instant improvement!!

Now, how about that smoker rub?!?

Working on it. Damn day job getting in my way.

[The Black Knight]

No, not really. Guys like Damir... Metz... I think they could carry the torch.

Not to say I would turn it down, but we're light years more a calmer club now than ever. It'd be more for housekeeping purposes.

It's because we are all getting older. The fire within begins to cool a bit and boiling points go way up.

HAHA! not that the fire within me doesn't burn, it just takes a lot more fuel to get the pilot light lit...

What?? Ahhhh fuck no. I'm ready for some flame!! Actually tonight I will be posting reply to the closed thread. It will be a good start. Lol

[~Barn~]

I love how you live your life one quarter-mile at a time, Townie.

[#1Townie]

Only way to go buddy.

[The Black Knight]

Townie needs two bottles of NOS and he needs them by tonight. That ten seconds or less and he's free...

FYI Ralph, my home PCs are working much better now on the site. Thanks for undoing what was causing it.

[Kim-n-Dean]

I wasn't able to get on the site all weekend. It just now let me in. Worked great for a little while when Ralph first throttled back the rate limiting, then all the problems came back. Maybe it was just a weekend thing...

[bulldog]

I've had trouble all morning too; usually won't let me in till I refresh like 20 times and suddenly I get lucky and it appears. I went most the morning thinking CSC was down.

[rforsythe]

I tried bumping some of the settings on the database server too, apparently went a bit too far.

[bulldog]

In hopes it helps...this site is jacked today! Is it only me? Most the morning I could not get the site to respond and when I do it is super slow; like 2 minutes between clicks. I have not had these issues since we changed the site over to new format so not sure what is up now. Is it like this for everyone?

Confused because Dean was having issues and I had none, so now wondering if I am getting issues that others are not.

I feel like I am using a 9600 baud modem to load modern pages here.

Have you tried tripling the ram?

Put you in the butter zone...

[blaircsf]

This morning it was really slow for me, minutes for pages to load. Middle of the day, it seemed fine. Now it's back to slow. Just for the heck of it, I timed page loads. The main page took 125 seconds before anything showed up, and 237 to finish loading everything. The pages to log in, then get to this thread etc took similar time. I'm guessing it's going to take that to submit this reply...

[Skitz]

Is this website hosted in Africa on a 16bit modem or something?

[One-ops]

Having mad issues loading it's pretty much impossible during the day for the last week or so for me

Dude! I was just watching Hackers the other day... PCI bus... oh man

[~Barn~]

This thread cracks me up. Ralph was probably thinking there was like 9 of us still reading the forum and meanwhile a guy with less posts than I have arrests is on here dropping baud jokes.

Can you please stop trying to host the board on your Neo Geo Ralph?

[#1Townie]

Yeah its been rough.

[rforsythe]

I am looking into more powerful hosting options. I also have a day job (unlike some of you apparently), so give me a bit. I am necessarily focused on that which provides my paycheck.

[#1Townie]

Hey I have a yob!!
