Site Slow?

[dave shelley]

Thanks from me too Martin.

Cheers, Martin. Sounds like the problem was caused by VillaTim trying to log back in.

Thanks for sorting it!

[Ian.]

Thank you from me too.

This reminds me I need to cough up some cash again to support the site. These things don't fall magically from the sky. Thanks Martin!

Feet up, find a film and chill! 😎

Thank you Martin. It’s reminded me I need to send some money which I seem to have completely overlooked.

Nothing to do with site speed, but just in case it affects anything on here or complaints of missing images from posts.

I'm guessing the 30k of bots / DDOS attack is the reason for the slowness.

It's been extremely slow for me tonight and went down completely this morning during the England game.

I have a feeling an early morning backup kicked off this morning during thr England game as there are usuaully only insomniac saddos and the odd antipodean missionary to notice.

Tonight seems to have been a bot/ ddos attack as we normally have around 1500-2500 on and we have 30k at the moment with an all-time peak of 34k at 1630 today.

Below 25,000 and the speed's back to normal.
