I got this error (only once twice):

Please try again. If you come back to this error screen, report the error to an administrator.

But I've also seen MY MESSAGES totally empty until a reload, and loading most pages takes quite a while. Does the server need some TLC?

True, the speed has noticeably been slow this morning even when replying posts.

I just got this error message a few moments back.

It's slow to post for me.  Actually, browsing is slow as well.

This forum normally functions very well.   Anyone know the hardware specs of the database server?

I post for interest - not signature spam.

Anyone know the hardware specs of the database server?
Are you going to buy some bandwidth and additional storage for us :-D

Somebody is DDOS'ing the shit out of the forum. It is not just today. Almost every day for a very long time, every time I click the "post" button either it takes long ass time to post or double posts. Today it became unbearable it lags so much even when browsing.

The website is working very slow, but I don't get any error.

I remember there was a same problem in 2017 bull run. That time I got error every minute.

It's a DDoS, I'm working on it.

And that was why Theymos decided to use Cloudflare.

With regret, I am (for now) admitting defeat on the DDoS front, and we will soon be using using Cloudflare to protect against DDoS attacks. This change is in progress, and will take ~24 hours for everyone to see.

Edit:
Got this error few seconds ago.

It's still going on. On top of that, it went down for me more than 15 times in the past half an hour now. The browsing and posting experience is fairly slow and I am constantly receiving the "Connection Problems" message. Considering the fact that the frontend is hosted on Cloudflare, is someone attacking the database server?

Considering the fact that the frontend is hosted on Cloudflare, is someone attacking the database server?

I'm not sure how the system is designed but the database server shouldn't be open to such an attack.

And regarding Ddos, I'm no specialist regarding Cloudflare but this shouldn't be happening during an actual attack. The DDos shouldn't hit the actual server, but Cloudflare's

I have a problem with this error[1], it lasted for several months unresolved so I thought it was a normal problem.
Yesterday I got some mistakes related to 422 Errors.
This morning (GMT+4) I had a lot of problems surfing the site but now all the problems have disappeared & the site is running slowly. "There are no errors"
Perhaps it is DDos attacks or related to another thing which will be public on Tuesday[2].

Another thing which I will make public on Tuesday, probably. It's a temporary forum feature similar to past april fools things in some ways, though not a prank.

Started getting this about 15-30 minutes ago also. No clue what it is and I'm not going to speculate, I don't think it fuels constructive conversations to have everyone go "it's a DDoS/could be a DDoS" any time the server has issues. We'll find out soon enough anyway.

Is there an IRC chat or something similar for Bitcointalk discussion when the server goes down?

It's not something new. These users have been always the most online users. I don't know what's the problem with the stats. They have been online more than age of the forum.

I think it's a DDoS.
Maybe attackers are trying to make trouble for the forum on its 10th anniversary.
Theymos will likely make a post regarding the issue soon.

I believe there was a channel on Freenode like 6 years ago but it must be deprecated by now. Not many people use IRC anymore, it's all Discord and Telegram nowadays.
