When a member shares a difficult experience or personal story, they are seeking understanding, support, or wisdom from this community — that is what this forum is here for. If you cannot offer empathy or helpful input, that’s perfectly fine. However, questioning someone’s honesty, belittling...

Oh, no, I didn't mean to close the forum, definitely not. I'm the youngest here, I will keep the forum up and running until none of you can type anymore. :D

The numbers are fine, another forum on the same server had over 68,000 visitors at one point today. I had to disable guest access just to keep the server responsive. These days, spam bots and automated attacks are completely out of control. Forums run by individuals, especially those with lots...

Very unstable. I'm not sure if it's the attacks, or a broad network problem. I'm exhausted and I will stop trying to fix it for now. Maybe it's time for us to take a break from the forum.

Anyone still find the forum unbearably slow?

Sorry, I just noticed it. It could be caused by attacks on another website on the same server. I'm working on it.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but it's not our forum or server's problem, it should resolve itself shortly. Wait, it's been 3 days for some members? I thought it's a couple of hours. I didn't find it slow though.

Sorry, my bad, I must have sticked it by accident. It's OK now.

Looks like a glitch on their website. You can use their images directly as they allow hotlink.

No changes made on this forum, maybe some third party websites made changes that broke the embedding. If you can share the gif or video's url, I will do some tests.

Absolutely, it would be great for the forum, we all want to know what happened.

Usually we don’t delete accounts or posts.:)

It's a scammer/spammer from Nigeria, they also registered two other accounts. I've been verifying every intro thread for a while, usually I can get rid of spammers within 24~48 hours if they post an intro.

Tried something to block the spam visits, seems very effective, the forum is back to normal...for now. Spammers are so annoying, running a forum in 2025 is so different from 5 years ago.:mad:

The forum has been experiencing huge amount of spam visits. I disabled guest visits for now, but it doesn't stop the spam bots, you can see that from the members online page.
