no, but we've had a massive bump in US traffic, and I'm trying to figure out why. I presume it's mostly AI training bots, but after banning known AI crawlers yesterday, the traffic remains. I've also been dragging my feet on the forum upgrade (it's a big one), and once that is done, internal search will return, and the server should be able to manage the increased traffic more easily.

I rebooted the server, and going to look closer at banning AI bots, which seem to be hammering the server

Chinese bots... I've banned Chinese IPs (well, an noninteractive block), as they're responsible for over 350,000 requests in the past 24 hours. That should help solve some of the problem. I also need to upgrade the forum... I'm going to post a notice about that... Nothing you can do really, hopefully the web proxy can filter most of the bots out.

If this continues to happen, please post below. thanks!

The site has been under attack lately, with bots hitting it hard the last few days (see the peaks below). There are things I can do to reject this attacks, but they often change their tactics. If there is any site maintenance, I would post here.

Greg replied to Michael Hardner's topic in Support and Questions
There is no conspiracy here, robosmith deleted his opening post, and that took the whole thread with it. Deleted posts go into a 30 day hold, then are deleted (or recovered, if the deletion was by accident). -
You will need to post few more times (5 is the limit I believe), before that functionality is available to you.

I always thought that would be fun to watch.

I apologize for the issue, IPB shut down support for SendGrid, which is the service we were using to send transactional email. This issue has been fixed, and emails should now resume sending.
-
I'll look into this issue.
-
Share the link to the forum, I don't care (if anyone was concerned that I would care). FYI - I'm curious too.
-
And what are you implying? That speakers should be suddenly worried to voice an opinion?
-
Guns cause homicides? That’s your argument?
-
Ha, gun ownership = violence. A ridiculous argument, for sure. Please enlighten us all with more evidence of your ideas.
