The website is working very slow, but I don't get any error.

I remember there was a same problem in 2017 bull run. That time I got error every minute.

It's a DDoS, I'm working on it.

And that was why Theymos decided to use Cloudflare.

With regret, I am (for now) admitting defeat on the DDoS front, and we will soon be using using Cloudflare to protect against DDoS attacks. This change is in progress, and will take ~24 hours for everyone to see.

Edit:
Got this error few seconds ago.

Somebody is DDOS'ing the shit out of the forum. It is not just today. Almost every day for a very long time, every time I click the "post" button either it takes long ass time to post or double posts. Today it became unbearable it lags so much even when browsing.

Came here looking for this.

Got about 10 of these when trying to access multiple pages at once.

Posting is slow af as well. Seems to be slowly improving over the last hour tho.

For the last couple hours browsing, posting and what not have been super slow with the occasional return to normal speeds much like right now. I haven't had any error messages though

If you guys are talking about right now then in my side I am having lightning speed :-P

Anyone know the hardware specs of the database server?
Are you going to buy some bandwidth and additional storage for us :-D

It's slow to post for me.  Actually, browsing is slow as well.

This forum normally functions very well.   Anyone know the hardware specs of the database server?

True, the speed has noticeably been slow this morning even when replying posts.

I just got this error message a few moments back.

I got this error (only once twice):

Please try again. If you come back to this error screen, report the error to an administrator.

But I've also seen MY MESSAGES totally empty until a reload, and loading most pages takes quite a while. Does the server need some TLC?
