Hello people,

I've been looking into the depths of our server's logs, and I have noticed that our lags are accompanied by a sudden increase of connections to the server; I suspect this might be caused by some botter who does approx. 50 page calls at once (meaning, within a few hundred milliseconds).

I will have to rebuild some components of the server in order to make it cope with this kind of load peaks, and I'm planning to have a long server-work session this Wednesday, November 17th. During some phases of this maintenance work I will have to stop the server. Though I will try to keep the downtimes minimal, please expect them that day.

I apologize for the inconvenience this caused, we're working on it.

Have fun!

Well, you’re partially correct about that. Yes, you are a customer and, yes, they do work here. But it’s actually not their job to deal with psychopaths. They aren’t hostage negotiators [...] And even if the powers that be at these corporate chains push this “customer is always right” crap because they’ve decided it’s good business to placate horrible jerks, in the real world [...] adults who throw temper tantrums in public are never right about anything.[/quote]

Ouch!

Here I thought it was just an issue with feeding Knuffel-that's where I usually notice the lag.

Thanks for the heads up. Though everyone will know what you mean, you wrote September 17th instead of November 17th ^^;

Hope that botter gets stopped D:

Hope it gets fixed soon. I have noticed all of the lag lately, but i just thought it was my computer.

Thanks Starkad, for all of your hard deticated work to this site:)

O, and is this problem the reason why some peoples avatars aren't showing up? Their avatars come up completely blacked out. I've noticed this since yesterday.
