Thank you, theymos, for getting the site back up.

(Sysadmin is tough.  Users are demanding; I know I certainly am.  It gets noticed when the site is down.)

I experienced similar issues yesterday as well but today everything seems to be working fine. Whatever it was (some internal issues or a DDos attack) it's over now, atleast for me everything is working fine.

Is this happening for anybody else?

I constantly get 5xx errors and database errors.
Same with you. I guess we are some errors because of the server issue due to massive usage, database can not handle all the users at the same time due to heavy traffics

Yes, its been 2 days already that I'm experiencing error when logging in this forum and etc. I thought the problem is just my internet connection but when I saw this thread, I'm not the only one experiencing this.

I might've figured it out. A bunch of things are currently disabled; I'll work on safely enabling them in the coming days.

Same here, specially for the past 12hours the forum has been really slow. Getting the same 502 Gateway error and Database errors.

Is this some another attempt of DDOS ? Or the the issue is with the server?

Lots of traffic, not sure yet whether it's mostly legitimate or a DDoS getting through Cloudflare. In any case, I changed some things which may help.

It seems that the situation has gotten worse now with CloudFlare being in full working mode, versus your own (previous) form of DDoS protection.

For me as well it was working really slow today but now it seems to be fixed and back to normal. Probably forum is getting a lot more traffic lately with all these new people getting into crypto.

Yeah, today especially. I'm afraid that cause of this problems with server I will not be able to make even the necessary minimum for the signature campaign I take a part, just I have not so many free time a day to roll over the forum and wait when it will work again. I wander what's the problem?

Yes, very slow for me too today, lot of errors and very long time to load a page. I suppose they are under a DDOS attack again. Hope they'll find a quick solution, because it's hard to navigate right now.

Recently bitcointalk is too slow. When i need to take a report to a bounty or to read topics, i cant go on the website. Why does not bitcointalk  cope with the that load? Please solve the problem

Yes, it takes a lot of time to load a page, when it loads at all. I suppose staff are aware of it and try to deal with it but it's happening quite often lately.

Yup, same here. Not sure why, but it just started going slow today and doesn't seem to want to speed up.

Same for me. Super slow, and sometimes doesn't load at all. This is happening almost once every week it seems like.
