Site down?

eri0o · Thu 26/12/2019 11:03:24

Forums are loading slow for me, not sure if it's my internet or if the website has something, but thought I would report it.

Hallelujah! The site is actually accessible, at the moment.

I did report on the problems, last week, but when the topic
was moved my post mysteriously disappeared.

I hope the powers that be can sort this issue, a.s.a.p

Still very choppy connection issues.

The site keeps making requests infinitely. It made over 15K requests in just one minute which were blocked by my adblocker. If I let the site keep loading, the number of requests even surpass 100K+.

Now it is working fine, but in the morning the forum would hardly load and I got the following message on the game db page:

Database connection error: Too many connections
Warning: mysqli::close(): Couldn't fetch mysqli in /home/ags/html/includes/functions.php on line 9

Not sure if this is related to the general problem, though.

Are you sure your browser is not part of a botnet? I'd like to look at the request log of ublock, that is the third icon in the ublock popup.

You think I'd not have noticed already if that was the case? Thanks for assuming I'm an idiot. Here's the log for your "viewing pleasure":

It has FB blocked because I have activated Fanboy's Social Media filtering list.

Here's the log

Thanks.
My guess is that this logo gets loaded so many times because of the "onerror" event, that get's triggered ad infinite.
This could be of interest for AGA, perhaps.

Site seems to be working fine right now, but this issue has returned for me around the time when the slowness began, and continues.

Yes, it seems to be working again, now. Was there maybe some DOS attack against the site?

Racoon · Mon 30/12/2019 20:12:55

I've had problems with loading the site for the last 2-3 hours. Sometimes the Main Page loaded after a while, but no chance with the forums. Luckily its working again now

Still occasional downtime here, too. The status text says "Performing TLS handshake" before the site fails to load, so my guess is that the server is online in principle, it's just the https connection that borks.

Yesterday I also had some really hard times on loading the website.

EDIT: Today I have got this error message from the website, I've never got anything like this before and I am also having hard times today on loading the website as well too:

Aside from a bit of planned downtime last night, performance seems to now be stable.
