    We have been monitoring the site today due to problems accessing the site.
    Hopefully we have fixed the issue by modifying some of the server software settings to ease the load of having up to 40,000 "users" on the site at once.

    Either that or the attacker's mother told him he had to go to sleep now.

    We're cruzin' at 30,000 right now.
    Either those are real people or they're gonna need a bigger bot farm.

    They're at it again today... I think we reached over 40,000 when it started to mess up again. I've reduced the session time now to accommodate the extra visitors.

    Im sorry Skip,I didnt realise you are having problems here also... I thought they werent bothering this site :(


    Stupid AI idiots!!

    Alot of sites I am on are having problems from them.......


    Thank you for keeping stuff going good here despite the large amount of traffic :(

    Skip you can try doing what my other friend Paul is doing on his site (cableforum.co.uk/board)

    He blocks guests from seeing anything if there is high traffic....

    Well we got up to 55,000+ visitors before the server overloaded. A server reboot only takes a few minutes and fixed it.

    Apparently theyre on a break or need more money for the bots. Some people need to get a life.

    If they had any balls they'd come here and answer your question. But they're cowards playing with AI. Or being paid.
