If you notice the HFU Board is slow...

FYI - the HFU is very slow now. I don't see any server issues, I think it's just getting slammed with bots. Nothing I can do about that, unfortunately

Update - After spending about 10 hours on Wednesday making lots of changes to the server, and adding protections and blocks against bots, I think I've stabilized things enough so the site is relative responsive.

Fingers crossed.

Note - Some of the changes involve rate limits, so if you constantly refresh/reload pages (like bots do), you might see this:



(HTTP error 429)
