Hah I know your pain Clifurd, also don't worry your probably fine in regards to your comment. Ash maintains the site typically but is pretty busy with other things and this isn't his top priority and there is only so much the site moderators can do. As I vaguely recall the server is hosted virtually so it's possible the provider is having their own issues and simply needs some more time to work them out, if it was an internal problem Ash or one of the mods would likely say something. But if support is needed I'm will to provide it :) Edit: |

Maybe it's the way I wrote my comment, but I didn't mean the backlog was causing the site to slow down. I was just saying that I hadn't gotten around to that guy's tab yet because there were others ahead of his to be posted. It's all the spam that is slowing down the site I think. From Ash "The traffic has been so high the logs have been eating up all the disk space, causing some database corruption issues." "The server gets absolutely hammered with many spambots constantly trying to create accounts and get through captchas etc. This creates a good amount of load on the server and it creates a lot of logs through various pieces of software. These logs on occasion have filled up the disk, causing problems."

Hmm maybe I should bug Ash and see what he may need hardware wise, we just prepared a lot of stuff for decommission. Sorry for miss quoting you there, and thanks for the insight! |

Man, I hate bots. I understand there's only so much you can do against them. It's too bad people have to do stuff like that because you know someone is trying to benefit from it. I edited my post to sound like less of a P.O'd tard as usual. I wonder if it's working fine for some people and if it's worse in certain regions. I'm happy that I can access it at all. Thanks for the clarification hslesperance I appreciate it. |

Looks like people with a weak internet speed can't go on gametabs at all, i have lots of message on FB saying that it's down "for weeks" :/

Oh, GameTabs is still here! I was about to give up on it yesterday, but I guess Ash put in some anti-spam measures, and now it looks like the site is usable again. I turned my bot back on and it ate the rest of the spams. It's set to check every hour right now. I had it on up until yesterday, but since so many connections failed it had problems deleting spam, so I figured it was time to pull the plug. Good to see GT didn't die, though :-)

Sorry. I know I've been useless. Spam attacks are higher than ever. Ironically, our spam prevention is what destroyed the server...the software along with the mods and I have collectively banned over 156,000 IPs over the years. Whenever any of you tried to access the site, your IP gets checked against the blacklist. The massive size of the list and poor design of that software meant those queries were putting the database under strain. I've trimmed the list for now but the server is still being hammered by spambots. I'm still trying to find a solution for that. Auri's anti-spam bot is awesome. Auri, I'm going to PM you now so we can explore the idea of implement your anti-spam logic locally. |

Nice to see you poking your head in Ash, I'd offer firewall devices to help out (in theory it would take the load and processing off the server). But alas none of my clients are disposing of any and they usually are a pain to get up and running do to licensing. :( |

The problem is there are just SOOOOO many IPs and they're coming from different subnets. Ban an IP and there are a hundred more. Ban a hundred and tomorrow there will be another hundred. I'll see if I can make the query more efficient which might speed up the site a bit more. |

That's good to know, wasn't sure if the bot could delete spam after it had already been on the site for a while or if it could only delete when the spam is first posted. Since the site was running faster I spent about 3 hours yesterday deleting most of it by hand >_> . Thanks for getting the site running Ash and thanks once again to auri's fantastic spambot! Now to catch up on some submissions.

I don't mean to sound rude but I find myself very angry about the lack of ability to access gametabs.net when I really want to.
If not for gametabs, I might never have kept playing guitar or had the interest to keep learning. For me, the site is down about 80% of the time. Maybe people in different locations are able to connect but a lot of us can't.
Then, when I am able to connect, it takes about 5 minutes to load a page.
I can't donate or anything right now but I would asap if I thought it would help.
