Title: Forums extremely slow for anyone else? Post by: MadZ on February 04, 2018, 11:11:44 PM I keep getting messages saying Error 504: Gateway Timed Out whenever I try to load most pages, and when pages do load, it is extremely slow. All other websites are loading normally for me. Is this an issue on my end only, or are other people experiencing this?
Title: Re: Forums extremely slow for anyone else? Post by: TryNinja on February 04, 2018, 11:30:53 PM It's not just you.
Maybe another DDoS attack? This has been happening since early today and I can't browse the forum for more than 2 minutes before getting the same error. Title: Re: Forums extremely slow for anyone else? Post by: Thirdspace on February 04, 2018, 11:33:51 PM I am experiencing the same, it seems to be server side issue.
I've been trying to post in another thread for about 30 minutes, wonder which one will be posted first I suspect ddos is in progress, launched by some butt-hurt users because of the recent merit updates ;D :P Title: Re: Forums extremely slow for anyone else? Post by: jonemil24 on February 04, 2018, 11:38:34 PM I've been trying to reply on this thread for multiple times but it doesn't come in! I hope this one will be successful.
I've been having an intermittent issue that started 8 hours ago, but the error I see is different, it's ERROR 502. Title: Re: Forums extremely slow for anyone else? Post by: Insanerman on February 05, 2018, 12:29:44 AM When I woke up early in the morning, i logged in my account and surprises me with Gateway ERROR 502. I think another DDOS (Distributed Denial Of Service) attack that slows the loading of the forum. Youre not the only one mate.

Title: Re: Forums extremely slow for anyone else? Post by: BCTBF on February 05, 2018, 01:10:29 AM This has happened a lot and usually I just have enough to wait, I know the forum will be back to normal within a few hours. I do not understand about system and DDoS or whatever it is, so I never know what is actually happening on the forum. ???
Title: Re: Forums extremely slow for anyone else? Post by: FFrankie on February 05, 2018, 01:14:42 AM It's a DDoS. Isnt cloudflare supposed to protect from that? If it isnt, what is the point of having it. I guess it would have been much worse without it. But maybe your code that you wrote would have held up better against this ddos Title: Re: Forums extremely slow for anyone else? Post by: madwica on February 05, 2018, 01:16:06 AM It's a DDoS. Hoping that someone who wants to destroy this forum will not be successful, and i am happy that the security of this forum is very strong since start i using this forum i have lots of experience of DDoS attack but in the end hackers or destroyers wont success for their wants. Title: Re: Forums extremely slow for anyone else? Post by: fabioganga on February 05, 2018, 01:21:15 AM Cloudflare is the worst antiDDOS provider. I am a hosting provider myself, so I know what I am saying. I have seen no end of sites being DDOS attacked and Cloudflare keeps showing the "host not reachable" instead of vacuuming the bad packets away and mitigate the attack. How pathetic.
Seriously, it's a joke of a company/service, and an expensive one too. There fare far better alternatives, cheaper and working better. Cloudflare sucks! Title: Re: Forums extremely slow for anyone else? Post by: InvoKing on February 05, 2018, 01:23:08 AM It's a DDoS. Meanwhile in the cloudflare website : Quote Under DDoS Attack?

Post by: cipher-x_09 on February 05, 2018, 02:27:01 AM It's not just you mate, I am also experiencing this kind of problems, it took 30 minutes for me to have my quote posted, which is kinda unusual because the other day it was fine but today about two of my post took time before it loaded properly, are there any server maintenance.
Title: Re: Forums extremely slow for anyone else? Post by: sandy-is-fine on February 05, 2018, 04:24:25 AM Been seeing it quite often over the last couple weeks. Usually after an hour or 2 it clears up.
Title: Re: Forums extremely slow for anyone else? Post by: jtipt on February 05, 2018, 05:12:31 AM It's a DDoS. Isnt cloudflare supposed to protect from that? Title: Re: Forums extremely slow for anyone else? Post by: loengrinm on February 05, 2018, 07:58:55 AM Yes, it happened last night for me as well. And I think this was also an attack from hackers, only admin can confirm.
