As many of you have noticed the forum speed has decreased to a crawl since COVID and I am told by many hosting companies that COVID sparked a new level of cyber criminal want-a-bees.

We average over 150 guests at any moment, I am going to turn off guest viewing for a while and see if this helps, I fear many "guests" are hackers tying to spam and collect content for malware google hits to their junk sites

absolutely no issues with the forum here. with many places, but not here.

Actually, it is slowish from where I log in. Sometimes I hit page reload and wait and wait and wait..

[FBz]

Confirmed. Would not allow viewing as guest. Had to log in.
This too, shall eventually pass. Thanks DH.

Normally one every 15 hits I do on our forum is slow. When I see it I just reload and it goes quick again.

I get a 400/403 error sometimes, usually cured by a reload, but no persistent issues.

Seems like plenty of guests still to me...

I will turn on "guest" a few days a month to allow web crawlers/ search engines

Hello good forum people!
Just had to login to see what was going on, being mostly a forum reader rather than posting, but I noticed it was asking to log in just to access the site.  I guess I found some answers here.
Was wondering if the site had been hacked or hassled.

Interestingly, I also frequently read macintoshgarden.org and that site is down/not responding.  I thought it was strange that both sites are experiencing issues.  One of the mainstays here is active over there if I recall, are they having similar issues?

I was also trying to access the garden recently and it was down.

no new subscriptions are possible now. somebody just asked me why there is no mail coming.^^
