I'm glad someone started a thread of this. I was beginning to think it was only me.

Also, sometimes some odd numbers show as "users browsing," in the 13,000s and 14,000s.  I see those high numbers and think there's some major, major news. 

Oh good, so it's not just me.

It's...Running......S-L-O-W.............for............... me................alsoooooo.................

You're not alone, but I'm unable to answer. I'm sure it's being looked into or will be.

Yeah I've been having a lot of problems as well. Glad that it's not just me

Yeah it happened last night at one point and somewhere around midnight it seemed to be back to normal.

It feels like DNS server issues.

More like "board running like Peyton Manning ... present day Peyton Manning"

I’m glad I’m not the only one who sees a problem with both.

I’ve been wondering if Logan has become a liability.

Gotta get all those frikkin AI bots outta here. 


Yes, AI bots are slowing down forum servers by generating high volumes of requests for training data, which consumes server resources like bandwidth and processing power. These "web-scraping AI bots" from companies like Meta and OpenAI can overwhelm websites with thousands of simultaneous requests, leading to slower load times, timeouts, and even complete outages for less robust servers. Website owners can mitigate this by using rate limiting, enabling server caching, and utilizing Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) to improve performance. 

Thanks Nicomo, thought my internet was going down or something. But it is just this site.

Sounds like AI bots as Rfaulk says, dirty rotten future    why can't we have the good things without the bad?

I seen 45,000 were on here yesterday at 8pm I think? Anyway, damn, if AI is coming to TBB to learn, it came to the wrong place. We disagree on everything. Maybe this is why it's so many. Trying to figure out the twisted, depressive minds of Bengals fans cannot be resolved.

We don't disagree on everything. What's the matter with you??  

running like Tahj Brooks

same...

25,000 guests right now. These are likely web crawlers (spiders) and the like. This can be addressed by admins or the web host if need be. At the worst MyBB has a setting where you have to be logged in to view - that is a last resort.
