to all the members, about the last days events

Post by esercito sconfitto »

straight to the point, did anyone experience a "Bad Gateway Error" in last days? or something similar? especially slowing down ?

in latest days I suspected a server- disabling bot-attack.
You know. it was so weird, 500 or 600 guests per minute, enough to kill the board servers :o , we are aware this community is NOT that large, ;)

of course it was a AI bot, his ( his? ) name is ClaudeBot . They are here to steal data and to do bad things :shock:

currently John and Redrunner have solved the issue, all the ClaudeBots have been deported 8-) but the investigations continue, and please folks report problems about ANY issue

thanks in advance

I think it may have been Friday (can't remember the exact day) but for about an hour or so I was having trouble with pages loading. I never got an actual error message but just gave up trying to load pages. After about an hour or so it seemed to clear up.

I have a few problems with sending PMs but it's the usual white screen of death. But that was long before those bots showed up and I have brought it up on general before. Other than that everything's fine.

Luckily I haven't run into any issues. Hopefully the problem has been taken care off.
