Forum Issues / Re: Slow/Unstable Forum Connection Recently?
« Last post by Jarhead0331 on June 15, 2025, 09:40:12 PM »This problem gives me Deja vu. I run a forum built on SMF and host it on GoDaddy. I had very similar problems. It took awhile to figure out that it was due to a lack of a firewall that permitted AI bots to constantly attack the site. This activity would, over time, cause GoDaddy to throttle the site and it would eventually exceed capacity and force the site down. Paying a little more to add the extra security prevents the bot attacks and there have been no site outages since.
