AOU Site Lag

Post by Cariadast » Mon Jun 09, 2025 3:34 pm

We are aware that the site has been experiencing lag of an average of 30+ seconds, site-wide. It seems to be a server issue, and the site manager has been alerted to the issue.

We appreciate your patience with us in this issue and we are working to rectify this issue as quickly as possible.

Sorry for the inconvenience and the lags on the website.

We're currently being overrun by AI bot networks (from all sorts of vendors) that are scanning every part of the website by making millions of requests.
Anyone curious about numbers, on the forum main page at the bottom you can see that we had a status of "Most users ever online was 8219 on Sun Jun 08" - that was yesterday.

We're working on solutions to keep the website operating smoothly.
