database usage is at 250% of the server’s CPU capacity! Something is messed up or there’s a DDoS attack. I’ve switched the home page to the higher performance forum index page for now. It’s GAME MODE but just early!
After hearing from my datacenter there was indeed a DDoS attack last night. I spent a lot of time on the other home page and it has a lot of bells and whistles, but the “game mode” home page loads way faster. So the question is should I leave it?
Thanks, Tony, for the info and your work into this and just in general for keeping the site up and running.
It was definitely loading slowly, and I did wonder if it was exactly what you are saying. There is no point in speculation on who, even though a Ute fans it’s easy to.
I’m way late replying, but I vote for how you’ve had it for years. I really like seeing all the posts w/o having to click on individual thread topics, even if the full thread do load slower. Thanks for all your work!
I’ve gotten some suggestions from my hosting provider on a software package I can install on my dedicated server to defend against these attacks. I’ll get that installed this weekend.
