Starting to get

TOO MANY REQUESTS again

 

Me too, I couldn't read page three of the IGT this morning because I had made too many requests.

Good luck Ben!

Let's see if this helps. This should kick in by tomorrow. I enabled the domain to go through Cloudflare:

 

Once DNS finishes propagating, Cloudflare will quietly step in as your forum’s bodyguard and performance booster. Here’s what it’ll start doing:

🛡️ Security & Protection

Filters bots and crawlers before they reach your server

Blocks DDoS attacks and abusive traffic

Shields login pages from brute-force attempts

Optional CAPTCHA challenges for suspicious visitors

🚀 Performance Boost

Caches static content (images, CSS, JS) on global edge servers

Reduces server load by serving cached pages to repeat visitors

Speeds up page loads for users worldwide

🧠 Smart Traffic Management

Rate limits excessive requests to prevent “Too Many Requests” errors

Auto-optimizes routing for faster DNS resolution and fewer hops

Keeps your site online even if your server hiccups (via Always Online)

You’ll still manage your phpBB forum as usual, but Cloudflare will now sit between your visitors and Bluehost — absorbing the noise, filtering the junk, and speeding up the good stuff.

Sounds cool, I wonder if there's a White House version of CloudFlare...

So far the board seems very snappy

[MFS62]

Mostly good.

I only had one delay problem. But that's probably because of our two tin cans and a string internet provider. Service always bogs down when the kids come home from school and they start downloading (or uploading) porn.

I was here quite a few times today with no issues. Both

logged in and not logged in. Ben for Prez!

[metirish]

[Benjamin Grimm]

Yeah, that didn't last long.

[whippoorwill]

Almost 2000 guests no wonder

We're going to need more chairs!

That and getting logged out

[whippoorwill]

Some of the threads are just too long

[Frayed Knot]

Others aren't long enough.

[whippoorwill]

Lol

[MFS62]

Others aren't long enough.

 

That's what she said.

BA DA BUM!

Looks like it's busted good today, is this what the end looks like?

[metirish]

The board is running super fast today

Thank you BEN

First time since the move, coincidence since this Brock character showed ?

[whippoorwill]

😞

[Benjamin Grimm]

You probably tripped over me while I was doing stuff to solve the registration issue.

[whippoorwill]

You’re as bad as my cats 😊
