PerformaVending Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Me too. I've seen the forum crash quite a few times, but typically I can get it to restart by re-launching Firefox. Not this time though. Glad I wasn't the only one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerformaVending Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Okay, I think I have it down- I can browse 5 topics, and then the site locks me out. I'm not sure exactly how long, but I just got back in. I have no idea why either. Mr. Casseri doesn't seem like the blackmailing type, but I did donate if that's the case. Who knows, who cares! I just want my TVF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserri Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 The outages have nothing to do with donations. Unfortunately, we are experiencing heavier than normal traffic from unscrupulous search engines from China. As a result, they are sucking up the sites available resources. We only get so much and once the limit is exceeded, we are temporarily disabled. The resource usage is metered by the hour so each hour the meter resets. If you experience and outage, check back at the top of the hour. I am working to implement some suggested measures to combat the search engine attacks. I apologize for the inconvenience.

caserri Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I've noticed that we've been using up all of our resources for the hour in about 42 to 48 minutes leaving us locked out for the remainder of the hour. I've implemented some preventative measures to combat this problem.We'll keep an eye on it and see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdendy Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I am assuming you are updating you robot.txt file and you may or may not be blocking chinese IP's, if not you might think about it, here is some basic info on how to do it if case you need. It also has some info at the bottom for Russian and Nigeria traffic if you ever need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GW Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 just got it this today (Saturday) at approx 12:45 PM Pacific, took about 20 min to get back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserri Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Yes. I noticed we went down at 3:48pm est and were back on when the meter reset at 4:00. This is getting ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GW Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 just happened again, 5:15 PM Pacific until 5:25 PM Pacific.....don't know if this info helps or not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leetvend Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 just happened again, 5:15 PM Pacific until 5:25 PM Pacific.....don't know if this info helps or not... I dont think it does. If you read Caserri's post he already knows what is causing it, but it does not look like its going to be an easy fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GW Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 didn't know if the times it happened helped any.....I will just fade back into my corner now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserri Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 didn't know if the times it happened helped any.....I will just fade back into my corner now I'm not too concerned about the times but I would appreciate it if you guys would post here and let me know it happened. I am trying several things and I'm not sure what will work. If you notice an outage, post it here that way ill know the last thing I tried didn't work. Sent from my Android using Tapatalk.

caserri Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 The last thing I tried was disabling the search function for guests. That was about 11:00am est this morning. Let me know if there have been any outages since then. Sent from my Android using Tapatalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
