bobby131313 Forum Dad United States 24147 Posts	Posted 04/13/2023 12:20 pm So we have a rogue bot slamming the site. Literally thousands of requests per second. Honestly I was quite proud of how the server has held up through this. Even with the CPU pinned at 100% it was spitting out topics in under 3 seconds. Any shared hosting service would've for sure completely flatlined. So I've blocked the majority of the IP blocks involved and the server is running smoothly now. However there is a slim chance that it could have blocked a few members though. If you hear from anyone experiencing the site being "down" please let me know so I can address it.

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24878 Posts	Posted 04/13/2023 12:36 pm Thank you for your diligence and hard work in maintaining the Forum, bobby. When I checked in this morning, I got nothing but error messages. Figured something was up.

bobby131313 Forum Dad United States 24147 Posts	Posted 04/14/2023 10:03 am It appears to be gone. I disabled the rule blocking all the rogue IPs about 20 minutes ago and CPU is in single digits still. Shop CCF Members on eBay. Report this Post to the Staff
