Is it just me, or has the forum been incredibly slow to load recently?
For me, it's noticeably slower than other forums I frequent at the moment.

You´re right.
It´s very low for me too.

Seems ok to me, but I'm on satellite access, so it's always "slow" for me to some degree. Maybe it's the over 4000 users online today.. seems like a lot.

And the vast majority are Guests, which likely means at least 3500 bots trying to look for security holes, create spam accounts etc.

Yes, majority are bots that look like they're coming from Microsoft Azure services. I've banned a number of IP addresses in an attempt to lessen the overall load somewhat and will continue to monitor.

That definitely seems to have sped things back up. Good work Al!
