OV9

Anyone else finding the forum incredibly slow? It was last night, but was fine this morning when I was at work, but very slow again this evening...not sure if it's just my side.

I've noticed some weird requests coming through from various locations which I've blocked...not sure if it's related or not.

Yeah, I'm finding exactly the same, with frequent time out errors.

(Like others I am sure) I tried to respond to this several times but my browser timed out or crashed

Seems fully back to speed this morning?

Seems to be later in the day it just doesn’t load at all

Clipping along like the hamsters are all on speed now!

Seems okay now to me, Matty

Yeah, no idea what was going on. Suspect it was at the hosts end. Either way, all good

Still running very slow for me - been that was for a few weeks now…

@Matty is there something going on? Forum is really slow, taking 5-10 seconds or longer to load a page.

Tried on WiFi and mobile, no difference.

yep, MASSIVELY slow. probably why there’s only been about 10 posts.

+1 on the slowness.

Have you sold off the server ram to fund your next car Matty?

Should be better now - another DDOS from our friends in Singapore. At least, thats the source address from where it's coming from. I'll check the logs again tomorrow in case I've missed some ranges.

Back to normal. Thank you!

The forum is running super slow here this morning, anyone else?

mines fine

Ah well, maybe something at my end.

nope, mines now gone shit!

It's been intermittently slow since yesterday afternoon, I think.

Was poor late last night and this morning. I assumed it was our foreign friends scraping all of our data again (if they're using it for AI training again, we're gonna end up with a very "special" AI). However....seems fine again now.

Checked, and one again it is our friends from Singapore. I've essentially blocked a massive IP range from there now. So if you're planning a holiday over there, you may need to make plans without access to OV9, as hard as that may be.
