Server Issues

I've got

Over 20 times today.

And this is not only me, but we get pages only to one point, the rest doesn't load. This happens in threadisplay and forumdisplay.

It had been performing (the website) so well for the last weeks/months!

I hope it gets back to normal soon ^_^

Had to try and post this over 5 times and couldn't PM because I get error 324.

Been getting the same error too, mostly when trying to load new posts.

I've been getting this problem a lot today and I thought it was just my internet. There has also been really slow posting times.

Same here, and it's just this site, whenever I load this site and another at the same time, the other always loads, this one sometimes doesn't, and if I replace sythe with some other site, both sites load.

Only time I get errors is trying to post now.

I've only experienced the site running slow. I am curious if this has anything to do with the large threads, because I remember the limit being increased from 0 to 1 per user. Somehow it's 2 again. It is the weekend, so more people would be viewing those threads than any other day I guess.

When it was slow, I thought Richard might have been working on something, because I remember he was on like an hour or so before I experienced everything slow, but he wasn't on at that time.

Been fine for me lately, although I still get this issue - http://www.sythe.org/showthread.php?t=1482039

Sometimes it either takes a lot to load, or appears the same error.
Hopefully, this can get solved.

I'm getting it too, I've been so glad about how fast it's been over the past few months then we get this splurge of happenings.

I'm having problems with posting and stuff now. Sucks that after how well things have been it's starting to crash now

 

I don't get errors anymore, but pages load really slow, sometimes editing a post is a pain in the ass.

I am still getting this, blamed my internet first of all.

Good to know it isn't just me though.

 

I am still occasionally seeing this error message, although less frequently

whats been up with sythe today?

 

DDoS attack. Some of our IPs have been null routed for the duration.

Update: As previously suggested by users, we are trying CloudFlare to mitigate this most recent attack.

Thanks for making that clear.

Yeah, thanks for letting us know what's going on. I thought it was my internet..

 

[Maze]

yeah, I've been experiencing the same problem kept disconnecting my laptop from hub though it was my internet.

Thanks

 

Unfortunately it looks like we're going to have to bear with the lag and timeouts until the attack is over... Which I'm guessing will be in a day or two when the perpetrator runs out of money to pay the botnet owner.

It's bearable, it's just nice to know the reason and not be kept in the dark.

Thanks for notifying us.
