and 60,597 of them are spam bots q_q

Hang in there on the upgrade. Going to be a busy week of work but Junsui and I will try to get going on it.

After shaving off all the spam users, posts, tags, topics, etc, that took off over 100mb from the database. Once bbPress was upgraded to 2.0, it was a lot easier to mass delete this junk. And now there are a few updated security-related plugins we have installed that should better protect us going forward.

October 9, 2013 at 8:33 pm #52554sonic.penguinModeratorGlad to hear and see things are up and running. Is it just me though, or does it take longer for posts to actually post?

October 9, 2013 at 9:37 pm #52557unfyModeratorPosting seems to be slow and the ‘page loaded after clicking submit’ will probably error – but it looks like it is indeed still getting things posted.
The lack of :huohu: bbcode needs to be fixed(!@%!@%!@)%
October 9, 2013 at 9:51 pm #52558unfyModeratorActually.
How are you running LYS.COM, LYS ?
Paid Web provider ?
VPS ?
Dedicated server ?
Since the choke point appears to be database related – either database needs to be vacuumed and tuned, or ya need to throw more money at getting more horsepower. I’m sure a few of us would be willing to throw some money at you to help out if needed maybe.
October 10, 2013 at 7:38 am #52561MiDKnighTModeratorYep, I’ve made the offer before to help throw some money at any upgrades.
October 10, 2013 at 8:54 am #52563Lord Yuan ShuKeymaster“The lack of :huohu: bbcode needs to be fixed(!@%!@%!@)%”
Yep, this is a big issue I know :) I will get working on this, surely bbPress has some sort of editor we can put it for simple management that can also setup all those fun smilies and the huohu bbcode.
“How are you running LYS.COM, LYS ?

Running it on a vps at hub.org. I don’t know what the problem is. Thought we had the Internal Server Error fixed. Maybe I will look at getting a different account somewhere else. I’m setting up a Reseller Account at HostGator for a client, maybe we can get LYS on there.
So, just give me some time, I’ll get things straightened out. I appreciate the money offers, just hold on them for a little bit until we have a plan formulated. Junsuijin and I just spent every waking moment of the previous weekend on the front lines deleting 60k spam users and 1000’s of spam topics and posts, so my work is needed elsewhere for the time being. But as I said we will get things straightened out sooner than later. Bear with it a little longer. Sorry guys.

Huo Hu's Adventure started Destiny of an Emperor hackingOctober 10, 2013 at 9:04 am #52565Lord Yuan ShuKeymasterHmm, yea it did take a minute or two for that post to go through. No Internal Server Errors or anything like that, but could still be improved.
Wonder if it has anything to do with the spam attacks – which we are still getting by the way, there are just better spam prevention plugins for this bbPress. They literally attack just about every minute, trying to login or register and do naughty things like that. Wonder if it has anything to do with the host being an off-shore web host provider.

Huo Hu's Adventure started Destiny of an Emperor hackingOctober 10, 2013 at 11:18 am #52568DragonAtmaModeratorSometimes posts go through quickly.
Sometimes they take a minute or two.
Sometimes they take so long the resulting page won’t load and you have to checked if your post made it or not.…so it’s a bit like an An Sha against someone with decent int, I guess…
