I'll check into it and update soon, thanks.

**HwyRider** · 09-29-2014, 09:11 AM

Today is extremely slow. I used a timer and it's taking anywhere from 12 seconds on the fast side to over a minute for a page to load. It's only on this forum. All other web pages and forums load immediately.

**tomm** · 09-29-2014, 11:01 AM

Also noticed that occasionally, IE closes and re-opens with a message that says there is a problem with the web page being loaded. Happened about 6 times in the last 48 hours. And once it said something about an unresponsive script.

Only on this site.

Still trying to resolve this, the host is being difficult.

**HwyRider** · 09-29-2014, 02:51 PM

Not surprising. I'm not sure if they have the capability to the throttle the service speeds as many cable companies do or if they are just overloading their servers.

**ringadingh** · 09-29-2014, 07:10 PM

I had a few problems loading pages the past few minutes. Some posts didn't get loaded onto the thread and had to be retyped.

Seems as though we were getting hit with an unusually high number of bots (mostly Bingbot) crawling the site. I've made some adjustments so we'll see what happens. I can actually see a difference already, lets hope it continues.

**HwyRider** · 09-30-2014, 03:01 PM

That thing was deployed by Microsoft. WTF

So what is the purpose of these bots, and why are deployed on forums?
