Bugs that don't deserve their own thread

Re: Bugs that don't deserve their own thread

There's some weird stuff happening around the site too. Fluvs has over 460,000 profile views for instance, and this guy has over a million.

Of course, I'm not sure how the user count on the forum pages works. On the main page, the user count is normal, usually around 200 or so.

Re: Bugs that don't deserve their own thread

Coincidence? I think not! If it's getting to the point to where it's jamming shit up, I think it really needs to be dealt with if at all possible..Maybe it's more complex than I think but it almost seems like an easy fix. Would hate to see the forums die due to people raging because they can't even access them.

I got the exact same problem yesterday at around 12AM server time.

(and it's happening right now at the moment as I'm writing this...)

Btw, it happens only on the forum but not on the main site.

The delete replay button's prompt (asking you to confirm that you want to delete the replay) doesn't show up if there's an apostrophe in the song title because lolquoteescapefail.

Re: Bugs that don't deserve their own thread

I know FFR is aware of this problem just want to reiterate because this seems like an unresolved issue. Anyway, I start to get issues with the site loading when the forum pages say there are 100K + "users currently using FFR." Not only do the pages around the site take several minutes to load, I can never get the game to start in the flash player when this happens and if I can get it to work it takes several restarts and several minutes. This only seems to happen when I see the user count at a high number, and I have seen this happen multiple times before.

Also just to establish what the count is at right now:

Re: Bugs that don't deserve their own thread

FFR is still getting DDoS'ed, not much we can do about load times. The user count on the forum still shows the total page loads caused by the bots, because they keep making sessions which are counted, but the home page shows unique sessions showing the real number of users. The sessions only last 10 minutes, so ffr is getting around 160k page loads every 10 minutes. When normally it's about 5-6k under normal user count.

Re: Bugs that don't deserve their own thread

I'm assuming there's nothing that can be done to keep said bots from gaining access to the site or even just the forums to begin with?

Re: Bugs that don't deserve their own thread

I'm going to guess the answer to that question is no, Jeff, without blocking all web traffic from a certain region of the world or something. lmao

Re: Bugs that don't deserve their own thread

Haha yeaa, figured as much. It gets annoying as fuck though, lol. Ah well.

Re: Bugs that don't deserve their own thread

I have a hard time loading R^2 and the forums. I haven't tried legacy but I would guess that the same thing happens. I have also tried on several different computers connected to different networks and they are all just as bad

i dont think its a ddos attack. think its an issue with the server. maybe a hardware problem. if it were a ddos attack, there wouldnt be such a low ping response time from the server as seen below:

Re: Bugs that don't deserve their own thread

I guess just re-booting the server isn't possible? Wouldn't that take the site offline for like 10 minutes- half an hour but clear all the sessions? It seems like that would knock out all the running sessions from my basic computer understanding. If we are getting DDoS'd there has to be another solution then "We'll wait for you to crash us completely".
