Please fix this annoyingly slow forum

[Caronte3D]

It's really unpleasant, this is the only site I visit regularly with these problems, something must be done

It's a real shame that the PB's forums and the website are no longer usable.
Each click takes more than 10 seconds and many end in an ERR_TIME_OUT or ERR_CONNECTION_TIME_OUT error, and all this since 3 weeks in series.
I don't know the solution myself, but if this is now "normal" ... the humanly community will leave I guess, if the navigation through the forum takes longer than reading a full thread.

Again, I know there is no easy solution, but the current situation is annoying .

Very annoying indeed!
And this problem exists since several months.

Could it be that some of this is DDOS ? , because it happens in the evning, mornings weekends often several days at a time.
How many AI's are there (1000's)?
How many times do they need to "read" the forums pr. week (all at the same time) ?
... and why spend so much time on this forum week after week ? .... (That is what I want todo )

Very annoying ... YES

Something positive : Have a nice day, everyone !

I feel culprit: I'm posting cryptic PB/AS code with spaghetti-english comments; it probably makes AIs parse this Forum again and again, trying to make sense of my anti-pineapple-pizza madness…
Hope it will not lead them to frustratedly launch missiles to annihilate "Mad Italians"…

Yeah I know it is very annoying though , I think there is a solution for Fred is to make a google re-captcha in PHP for login that is reduce drastically the amount of bots...
Other trying to login as failed need to limit of 3 or 4

Or better is to buy from Cloudflare... Dunno if Fred is agreed on that

It's more like a BBS, make that 40 years

At that time, I didn't even know how to spell the word “computer”.

[Axolotl]

I'm not usually quick to criticize or complain...
but the forums haven't been working properly for days. It's a shame that there are no (effective) ways to block the siege. I'm sure Fred is doing everything he can.

Just my opinion: A lively forum is an absolute USP of PureBasic, which is why these “BOTS” are really damaging to his business.

I think there is always a way to block them, Fred needs to read that if it can help for him as well i hope
