Lovely weather today.

Considering the BBC was forecasting nuclear holocaust speed winds, it has turned out nice.

Perhaps for one day we could all get AI to write our posts. That would be, errm, entertaining.

I thought you were commenting on how often this website runs really slow.

Is there some known bug causing this forum to often run really slow? Also find it's frequently logging me out which gets a bit tedious.

Don't wish to sound ungrateful... just a bit of feedback.

There's another ongoing thread here talking about the problems viewtopic.php?f=21&t=43968

Looking at the TLF homepage, there seems to be constantly hundreds of "guest" users on the site. I tend to think most of them are "bots", which will be hammering the server(s) and causing resource shortage. Effectively a mild, constant, DDoS attack.

It's been reported the site server(s) will be upgraded soon. This, if and when it happens, might alleviate the issue, if only by masking it.
