I thought it was just on my end. Very slow.

Yes, I'm finding the same here.

I knew the problem couldn't be at my end of things, because other sites were loading normally. This one, though ... yes, currently v slow.

The high number of users / viewers .. maybe a cause for celebration, from the Admin side of things (?). OR, maybe, a form of hostile action from anyone interested in rendering this forum effectively inoperable ?? [I recall another site I was on several years ago that was suddenly swamped by those of an 'opposition' mindset, shall we say ...]

Does Admin have any feedback or other insight to offer ?

Didn't even know of this thread, was too slow earlier to find it! :) Hopefully my announcement explained things. Just some unscrupulous bots hitting the site for whatever reason.

Or maybe people just suddenly love me? :dunno:

Actually, it's just the entire membership of the Man-Boy Alligator Society. They thought they'd found a sympathetic site.

I didn't see this thread either... we were focused on the IP addresses and servers of thousands of users hammering this site with searches and attempts to PM users.

Sorry about the lack of response but we were sorting through the users as fast as we could without accidentally banning any legit users. Jim's modem was smoking and he's probably got Carpal Tunnel now!
