C4C downtime

Over the last few days the forum was down for a long time. It briefly came back up a few days ago within the main down period. Is the reason known?

I’ve noticed too. The Wiki was down briefly but seems fine now. Can’t say why though.

It's very clunky and slow now. Whatever the cause, I don't think it's gone away.

I keep getting that thing with too many users online which was a thing
exactly a year ago.

It is running slowly when you are saving your work, and you get general error when you try edit your page.

What exactly do people do on this site ? Forums always seem dead .. like a ghost town.
Are you all ghosts ?

If so, you must be included in that.

It's still slow and clunky now. The problem definitely has not passed.

Having vanished completely for a few days it's back with "just" 42 users online and seems to load quickly. Wiki is up (it did go down).

Just started getting the max users error again but it's working right now. Not out of the woods.
631 users online.

The Autosport forum is down now for some reason.

That was a max users exceeded error too, perhaps some kind of bot attack on both sites?
Having been a regular poster on that forum for 20 years, that's the first time I can remember any forum meltdown for that reason. Did Norris criticise Max or something?

Must have done. What's your username there?

Just 38 online now. Could we finally be seeing our way out of this? I might even update the CO-event parkrun table with the Sheffield results this weekend if it's working properly.

It has been a lot better for a while now. About 60 online now - still weirdly high, but nothing to break the forum.

363 online. Very clunky. The wiki was having problems a few minutes ago but then started working.

This still clunks a lot. Over 500 online just now.

Around that now (470) and it's struggling.

Similar problems at the moment. Coincidentally, I just came across someone who's trying to solve this problem by loading unwanted crawlers with vast amounts of data to in theory break them.

Interesting. The problem needs to be looked at though. It's been going on for a while. I'll see if the bat signal works:

The bat signal is usually meant to summon Batman, not piss him off, but it's worth a try.

Not sure why you think it would piss him off. But anyway I also sent him an Aptomail, and there's still an open ticket on Apterous.

Wiki and C4C are very clunky, hopefully I can edit my recaps and get C4C up to speed
