Daetrin[Admin] Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Hi Everyone, Due to exceptional CPU usage, FISD was shut down earlier today. This is a result of too much traffic being generated through the forums. We've always kept FISD's content open and readable to guests so that they can review content without having to first log on to the site, however the amount of crawling that's occuring specifically from Asia is killing us, and unless we want to move to a $100/month plan it's time we removed full open access. As a result, if you are not logged in all you can see is a single forum with a single thread telling people to log in. While this may sound extreme, it's actually quite common on many 501st forums and particuarly detachments; I do think we were one of the last to change so it's not like this hasn't been coming due for some time. If there are any questions on concerns regarding this change, please let me know. Paul TK-8020 "Daetrin" Detachment Founder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffin-X[TK] Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Thanks Paul. We have the BSN and Spec Ops sites setup this way too. It does help to keep the "spambots" at bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R5SB[TK] Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 I was a bit worried that the problem was at my end. Glad to see that the site is back up again and was only down for the best of reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carbonitekid Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 You gotta do what you gotta do. Besides, putting a few obstacles in the way is good for weeding out the numpties from those with a genuine interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daetrin[Admin] Posted July 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 As it turns out after IP analysis, the worst offenders are a few members of this board. Either they come here every 5 minutes of the day or perhaps their computers have viruses. we're on it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
