NoV Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Happened to me twice today - but literally once I left the site for three minutes or so it started working again. Link to comment
Jorm Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 It's happened to me a few more times but I've been able to get around it by accessing the forum through links from google or Bondi's wav page. For some reason that seems to circumvent the issue. Link to comment
Heavy-Chevy Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 It's happened to me a few more times but I've been able to get around it by accessing the forum through links from google or Bondi's wav page. For some reason that seems to circumvent the issue.I tried that but I still got that stupid message. Happened to me today and I couldn't get in for an hour again. Link to comment
Lynne Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 High On Lullabies is still in communication with the hosts to find out what's going on. We'll update you all as soon as we have more information. Link to comment
Dusty15 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Just an FYI, this has been happening to me frequently over the past few days. Link to comment
Joal 555 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 ^^ Yes, I had it several times last night...... Link to comment
March Hare Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Three times today. Site getting too popular, or are the hosts asleep at the switch? Well, well, the internet is an imperfect place. Link to comment
AppleBlossom Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 It took me hours to get back on! Please fix this soon! Link to comment
count tiszula Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Several times to me, including once just as I had read Dusty's comment above! Link to comment
Vetinari Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I have, on two occasions, lost a long PM I had written. Has there been any feedback from the hosts HoL? Link to comment
snuffle-bunny Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 It's happened to me almost every time I've been here over the past few days. Link to comment
High on Lullabies Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Apologies again that this error seems to have resurfaced in the last few days. Indeed having looked at the stats on it we managed to hit the limit which triggers the error on 33 out of 36 hours between the 22nd and 24th May for no reason at all that I could see.Anyway, as I said I have reviewed the recent logs and have been in touch with the hosts again and a number of further steps have been taken that should hopefully knock it on the head.Namely:- Blocking a certain IP from the server which was showing extremely high levels of activity.- Denying access to the server to a number of other IP's known to be bots.- Slowing Google's 'crawling' rate on the forum to the minimum possible.As I said these actions will hopefully stop this error occurring and I will keep an eye on the various logs over the next few days to see what effect these changes have.Thank you all for your patience while we continue to tackle this issue.

March Hare Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Way to go, sir. Way to go. I appreciate your hard work for this crazy place! Link to comment
Jorm Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Thanks as ever for all your hard work HoL! Where ever would we be without you? Link to comment
Joal 555 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 After a lengthy absence, the "dreaded message" has returned several times in the last 2 days Link to comment
obsessed Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I got the error message as well. I think it may just be one of those end of the month data-use things. Link to comment
Deadsh0t Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Likewise here. I literally just logged in and the message came up. Took about half an hour before it went away. Link to comment
High on Lullabies Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 This should now be fixed, took a couple of days for me to figure out what was causing it this time as the spike unfortunately coincided precisely with me reactivating a few small additional features that I had deactivated last time we had this problem. However when I deactivated them again the problem got no better, and it turns out the source of the problem is our good friend Google. Googlebot is a bot which trawls websites for content to build Google's search results, and you can limit the rate at which it does this but it needs to be reset every 90 days. The last time I set the rate was the 24th May and well...you can do the maths from there Anyway, it may take a day or two for the request to filter through but after that we should be okay.I'll set a reminder for 24th November in my phone now...

Joal 555 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Thank you for you work in resolving this HoL!As ever, we are in your debt Link to comment
Graham Cracked Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I don't really wanna be a downer on the resolved matter, but I've got it about 5 times today alone x.x Probably just me, right? Link to comment
megacycle Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I still experience the problem, I had to deal with it twice this morning. Link to comment
