Lately this site has been very slow to load and sometimes it gets timed out. Anybody else experiencing this?

It is not just you. I have experienced this as well on both mobile and desktop.

Probably has to do with the sheer number of bots sitting on the site. Right now its 1:20pm on a Tuesday and there are 4k "guests" online.

It was either fixed today or I have cracked the code on the world’s fastest internet. Thank you to anyone that helps this site run smoothly.

The site has been under almost constant bombardment by bots for the last few days. I told the host to block every IP that they were coming from.

I’m doing the best I can to keep it running, but I simply do not have the tech skills needed to maintain it.

You're doing a great job. Thanks for all you do.

Noticed the slow loading too. App89, I'm sure you'll figure it out. Thanks for keeping it going.

More concerned about the number of posts. They seem to be dropping and that's not a good sign for interest in the program.

Thanks for working behind the scenes and keeping things running smoothly. Unfortunately, we may be approaching a day when the internet is mostly just bots talking to other bots.

Too late for that. Bots are already over 50% of internet traffic.

I haven't been able to log onto yosefscabin.com for months (I get a 403 Forbidden message on multiple devices). I have to search and click on the Mountaineer Message Board.

If you haven’t already considered it, putting the site behind Cloudflare would go a long way toward blocking bots and speeding the site up.
