The TTLG forums have been really slow for me for the last week or so, is anyone else experiencing the same? It has been somewhat tolerable until now, but today it seems that everything takes a really long time to open, and for example I just waited about five minutes for my post to appear after hitting the submit button. Not that I'm in a hurry, but I'd like to know if this problem is at my end only. :D

There have been some intermittent periods of slowness in the past week for me as well.

I've not noticed it being quite as slow as you mention recently but I may have just missed periods of heavy loads. If you spot it happening to the extent where it's taking minutes then drop me a PM and I can have a look next time I'm on.

Looks like the slowdowns tend to happen at this time of day.

Thanks, looks most likely to have been due to some excessive crawing from AI related agents. A basic block has been put in place that should hopefully help for the immediate problem.

Yeah, the morning hours and early afternoon (GMT) seems to be the worst time indeed. I tried to log in at around 11 today, but just loading the forum page took a very long time, so I gave up.
Also, thanks Al for sorting things out (or at least for trying to do so)!

Whatever you did Al, it seems to have fixed the issue for now. It has been smooth sailing again on TTLG for the last three days. Thanks! :thumb:
