Last night it would display the first and last page of a thread, but if I selected a page between those it acted like there were no messages on that page.

Working on it.

PT is back up. Reed and the Foundation are talking about what we need going forward.

Reed and the Foundation. I think I saw them at the Fillmore in '68...

We will probably do a round of hat-passing at PT once we figure out the update parameters.

PT seems good for me as of 11:25 PST.



:D


Speaking of PT, have you all noticed "How an Evangelical Creationist Accepted Evolution" in Slate?

There are issues with comment updating, and apparently there's a problem with making new posts. Reed is away for the next few days, so that won't change until he returns.

Some of us are back, but a few here aren't all there even when they are here.

I'm in for a donation...a GoFundMe at AtBC for a new server?...a bit of compensation for maintenance folk?...what's needed most?

seconded.
Just my 2 cents :)

There is some process or processes that loads the MySQL DB and starves the server of cycles. I suspect that some of the larger threads here may be getting hammered by bot access. I need to do some investigating, but it may be that I will need to take out the "All" links or figure out adding a CAPTCHA to them.

There is another, somewhat more drastic, approach that likely would help. Long threads could be closed, converted to static pages, then nuked. The information would be accessible, but not via the forum software.

Yep, the logs show hundreds of bot accesses loaded up within minutes by the Baidu search engine, or something calling itself that.

I got an assist from a network guru friend who has some rules loaded to stop the DDOS-like stream of requests. 25 minutes and counting without that bot taking up bandwidth and cycles.

I had a problem since yesterday, but messaged Wes who has repaired it.

Thanks, Wes.  :D

The server is being hammered by somebody with IP address 167.114.101.173. I need to figure out a way to block that... after dinner.

If it is one of you mirroring the site, put a nice delay between requests, please.

dnsqueries says the server is in Kansas, if that helps.
