Cumulus Support

Is just me, or has the forum been much slower for the last couple of days?

It's being chugging a bit since the early hours of this (Sat 29 Oct) morning.
EDIT: Just took approx. 30s to post this

Yeah it has been...

There have been some problems at Dreamhost; no doubt they will get things back to normal soon.

Hopefully this is now fixed. I reported the problem to Dreamhost, who told me that the forum process was being killed because of excessive usage. I found this hard to believe, but checking the access logs revealed one IP address repeatedly accessing the domain. The IP address doesn't appear to belong to anyone registered on the forum. I've blocked the IP address and things seem to be running much better; perhaps not quite back to normal, but certainly better than so far this weekend.

It’s much better indeed.
