Is anyone else having a slow load on the Boards?

grammaboodawg Elvenhome May 8, 1:51pm Views: 49906 Is anyone else having a slow load on the Boards? It started up yesterday (Weds May 7) and is worse today (Thur May 8). It keeps timing out as it buffers and buffers. For me, it's behaving like it did the last time. *sigh* We have been there and back again. TIME Google Calendar

Otaku-sempai Elvenhome May 8, 2:02pm Views: 49838 Oh my, yes. I am definitely seeing slow load times in the forums from yesterday onward. We may be having 'bot problems again. “Hell hath no fury like that of the uninvolved.” - Tony Isabella

dernwyn Forum Admin / Moderator May 8, 5:22pm Views: 49832 Yes! I logged on briefly yesterday, and at first thought there was a lag, then it seemed to clear up...but today, definitely. What's with the nearly 20,000 "guests" accessing the Boards? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I desired dragons with a profound desire"

Ethel Duath Gondolin May 8, 8:30pm Views: 49830 Buffers--our version of Gaffers, perchance--keep pouring cold water on our Quest.

Altaira Superuser May 8, 10:50pm Views: 49829 I pinged Corvar Hopefully he'll be able to get to it before the weekend. If not, it should be fixed sometime this weekend, hopefully earlier than later. *fingers crossed*

grammaboodawg Elvenhome May 9, 1:10pm Views: 49702 *BOOM!* T'is FIXED :D All praise Corvar! DANKA MUCHLY OH WIZARDLY ONE! We have been there and back again. TIME Google Calendar

NottaSackville Doriath May 9, 1:21pm Views: 49690 Yes, THANK YOU! /   Happiness: money matters, but less than we think and not in the way that we think. Family is important and so are friends, while envy is toxic -- and so is excessive thinking. Beaches are optional. Trust is not. Neither is gratitude. - The Geography of Bliss by Eric Weiner as summarized by Lily Fairbairn. And a bit of the Hobbit reading thrown in never hurts. - NottaSackville

CuriousG Gondolin May 9, 7:06pm Views: 49485 See, the bots go down, but Jimmy Cliff always shows up instead //

Hamfast Gamgee Dor-Lomin May 9, 7:18pm Views: 49479 Happened to me as well I can report. Thought it was a personal thing but seems to be fixed now, well done. (This post was edited by Altaira on May 9, 10:50pm)

Meneldor Doriath May 10, 4:01am Views: 48972 Under a flood watch here so I'm overdue for a bright, bright, sunshiny day. They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters, these see the works of the Lord, and His wonders in the deep. -Psalm 107

noWizardme Gondolin May 10, 8:38am Views: 48679 Hope that flood watch works out for you If you see her, direct Lady Goldberry over to England. We've had an unusually dry (and sunny) spring. I'm sure the folks who mutter that 'we'll pay for it later' are right. But there's nothing much that can be done about it individually, except enjoy it until the bill comes. ~~~~~~ "I am not made for querulous pests." Frodo 'Spooner' Baggins.

noWizardme Gondolin May 10, 2:05pm Views: 48067 Because I misheard the lyrics of that song the first time ...I used to think it went "I can see clearly now Lorraine has gone". Not sure what is up with Lorraine. But Anne Peebles, Eruption, Graham Central Station, Tina Turner, Seal or Lowell George? - none of them can stand her. Hey bots: this is the quality Tolkien content you've come for, suck it up! ~~~~~~ "I am not made for querulous pests." Frodo 'Spooner' Baggins.

Meneldor Doriath May 12, 7:02pm Views: 40134 Here we go again... :( "Newboards@theonering.net took too long to load" They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters, these see the works of the Lord, and His wonders in the deep. -Psalm 107

cats16 Gondolin May 12, 8:02pm Views: 40120 Pretty slow for me too today! We flew too close to the sun by getting instant load times for a day or two. Join us every weekend in the Hobbit movie forum for this week's CHOW (Chapter of the Week) discussion!

grammaboodawg Elvenhome May 14, 3:51pm Views: 39997 *sigh* Here too... It started on me Tuesday. I keep getting timed out waiting for things to load. Our Wizard will come to the rescue, fersher! :D We have been there and back again. TIME Google Calendar

Ethel Duath Gondolin May 14, 7:25pm Views: 39994 Bot bait, somehow? I wish we could post something that would draw them all off and keep 'em busy, elsewhere!!

Lissuin Doriath May 14, 9:50pm Views: 39985 A diversion. /

Starling Gondolin May 15, 7:01am Views: 39971 Hmmmm

grammaboodawg Elvenhome May 15, 3:13pm Views: 39942 A Renovation!? Could evolve into a transformation! Or dissolve into a fabrication :( We have been there and back again. TIME Google Calendar

noWizardme Gondolin May 18, 5:39pm Views: 7849 Twenty thousand bots came out the wood[work] ..slow us down they did Possibly this old Steeleye Span song suggests some countermeasures 'Offical lyric video"lyrics in writing ~~~~~~ "I am not made for querulous pests." Frodo 'Spooner' Baggins.

Meneldor Doriath May 18, 6:00pm Views: 178589 What can mere men do against such relentless botness? They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters, these see the works of the Lord, and His wonders in the deep. -Psalm 107

Otaku-sempai Elvenhome Jul 6, 8:03pm Views: 9227 Slowing Down Again? It's not too bad yet, but I suspect the forums need another de-bugging fairly soon. “Hell hath no fury like that of the uninvolved.” - Tony Isabella

Meneldor Doriath Jul 7, 2:52pm Views: 8818 The last few days have been erratic for me too. It's decent right now... They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters, these see the works of the Lord, and His wonders in the deep. -Psalm 107

Ataahua Forum Admin / Moderator Jul 8, 12:51am Views: 7572 Honestly, it's like playing Whack-a-Mole. Our super admin Altaira has done another sweep. (I saw a story just recently about how AI bots are causing heaps of trouble on all sorts of websites; we're just another one caught up in the swarm.) Celebrimbor: "Pretty rings..." Dwarves: "Pretty rings..." Men: "Pretty rings..." Sauron: "Mine's better." "Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Sauron’s master weapon led to its own destruction.

Meneldor Doriath Jul 11, 5:00am Views: 781 Right now it seems all right, but earlier today it was very slow and timed out once. They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters, these see the works of the Lord, and His wonders in the deep. -Psalm 107
