  1. The Prowler @ The Prowler:
    I do not think closing the SB will make much of a difference, unless the DOS attack is targeting the SB exclusively.
  2. Bastard Factory @ Bastard Factory:
    ...I just tweaked 3 things ... pruning time, reduced stored older post time, and refresh interval.
  3. Reggie_Essent @ Reggie_Essent:
    Bastages?
  4. Bastard Factory @ Bastard Factory:
    Trying to keep it open tho....... Lets see if it helps vs closing it off for a few... Ill watch over next hour or 3.
  5. Bastard Factory @ Bastard Factory:
    Its not a DOS attack. We are using up to much bandwidth as the site has grown.. therefore need to increase monthly server bill and get more bandwidth.
  6. Bastard Factory @ Bastard Factory:
    Its in our host account elsewhere and I dont do tech shit... weve made it years dodging this slowdown issue and its caught up... GROWTH

  8. Bastard Factory @ Bastard Factory:
    From our host server: "I understand that your website is loading with a 502 Bad Gateway error. Here to take a look and assist! I reviewed the Droplet (167.99.159.72), and I could see spikes in the CPU usage graph for this droplet. When this situation occurs, it will often cause the running applications to crash as they struggle to obtain the resources needed to function properly, which in this case may have been your web server."
  9. The Prowler @ The Prowler:
    It does not matter if there are 10 messages or 10 million. That just sits on the hard drive until it is accessed. The traffic on a message board is minimal. You need to analyze the traffic and see what is being accessed. Someone is just hammering the site with useless requests. You have over 8000 lurkers and 700 robots. Block those IP addresses.
  10. The Prowler @ The Prowler:
    So they are saying they are not providing you with the CPU time....they might have problems with other sites. They should be reserving CPU time for BF exclusively.....or what are you paying for?
