"The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later."
since a few day i'm seeing the message "The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later." instead of the forum very often.
is there some overload going on? |

Yes, that is really annoying. Get that too since weeks (actually, since I started posting here again after years of inactivity).
It also killed pretty much 50% of my posts, as the text is gone then and I'm not going to wait until the server is no longer busy and retype my post. |

On another forum I'm a member of, we got the same thing a while back ~ was the harvesting of bots and/or spiders ...

Just had it now and there are only 29 members online but over 2400 guests which is ridiculous.

I remember in the past it was common practice for bots to read the file
robots.txtfrom the server's root. It provides information which paths may not be scanned. Like this: Code:
User-agent: msnbot Disallow: / User-agent: searchpreview Disallow: / (...) |

Most importantly, how is the Atari ST responsible for this?

As far as I can see this forum does not have such directives. Related to blocking these crawlers building ML/AI datasets, I was reading around that a set of relevant directives could look like this: Code:
User-agent: GPTBot User-agent: CCBot User-agent: ChatGPT-User Disallow: / User-agent: * Allow: / cc: @RCK in case reading this |

RCK has applied some changes to the server yesterday. Let's see how it behaves today.

Still the same here, had the message twice this morning. Pages are also extremely slow to load at times, clicking a forum link can take as long as 20 seconds before it responds. The whole site is acting as if it was under some kind of DDOS attack!

Since two week I have the same problem.
The most annoying (fo me at least ) being when I click on the "post quick reply" button and get my text lost due to this message being displayed.. which happened several times |

Since new HOL launch, the bots are just reminding that we exist and try to sniff every signel post of EAB.
So yes, we have to performance problem currently. I setup a max hit/s rate limit, but it doesn't seem enough. @jman: I will add this to robot.txt list and see if it's better, thanks |
