I was watching the forum performance in the very early morning hours today. The forum performance is certainly tied to the number of "guests". The number of "guests" was fluctuating wildly, from around 1,000 to 8,000. So it looks like something is fighting back against the invasion. Performance was much better when the guest numbers were in the low range.

I don't have a functioning Windows OS device currently.
Might go to library sometime before long and load a mIRC script on one of their machines and see if it will come on this site.

Wouldn't really be able to do anything about it without OP or Admin status , but could see what these "guests" look like by their IP's.
If a mIRC will come on here , it could handle these gobblers.

Edit
1721 Guests currently , so it's staying well below the previous 20,000+

Sluggish response today... so I checked and it said >6000 "guests" were logged in.

Must be some aggressive software out there....

But still way better than it was and I haven't experienced "can't get there from here" in a long time!
