Dave Ambrose Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Made some modifications this afternoon, and they seem to be working. I also upgraded the forum software to the current rev. If you notice anything odd, please comment on this thread. Our sluggishness problem was related to a Chinese "search engine" continually accessing the site. I don't believe this is, in fact, a search engine. I believe they're training an AI model. They might work around our access blocks. Please comment here if the forum gets sluggish again. Thank you for your patience. This was a hard one to solve. -- Dave Ambrose 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stavanzer Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Dave, a Huge "Thank You" for getting this fixed. I wonder what other websites the Chinese AI has slowed in their search to 'train' it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
