BoW/OTT painfully slow

Simply that… currently the website is dreadfully slow on loading…

It is indeed.
I blame Infinity campaign, or rather impact it has on BoW infrastructure.

To me it’s been slow for a few weeks

I logged in to comment and it timed out. There’s definitely something up.

Yes, very slow today.

It’s now working a lot better, but now I find I’m being blocked from updating my own project log as apparently I’m a Spammer!

I’d have hoped that member accounts who are Backstagers/CoGs would be exempt from being spammed as we pay membership fees :/

Can you post a screen shot if you can?

We were under a sustained bot attack the last few days as well as a traffic increase.

We have bumped up the server hardware to cater for the increased traffic but the bot attack is being combated by cloudflare which happens before you reach our servers so it’s not possible at that point in the chain to tell if you are a member or not.

Hopefully we can get it sorted very soon and turn down the protection a bit again.

I guess some whitelisting should be possible
