IORR Forum performance - Gateway time-out and bad response time
Posted by: bv ()
Date: July 24, 2024 20:42

The IORR Forum pages (Tell Me, Hot Stuff, All Sold Out) performance has been extremely bad lately. The poor performance is due to hostile crawling activity, i.e. not fans, but machines, doing hundreds of page requests per second.

Request to all IORR fans:

1. Patience

2. Feel free to comment on Forum performance lately here in this thread

IMPORTANT INFO: Most of IORR pages, i.e. the editorial IORR pages, like the IORR home page, editorial pages, all pages outside the forum pages, like tour lists, show reports etc are always fast, and never affected by hostile forum activity. If you start Your session With the IORR home page, then accessing tour pages and any other non-forum contents will always be very, very fast.

JUNE 1, 2026 UPDATE:
====================

During the past few weeks, the hostile activity is back, disturbing the IORR Forum performance, like the Tell Me pages. We are working on the issue, in order to make a new IORR Forum solution with high performance available soon, i.e. within this summer. Thanks for your patience.

Thanks for explaining. I understand very little of how the internet or even computers work, but you put it in a way I can follow.

Works fine for me (Western Europe).

Is the attack what one calls a DDoS?

The IORR forum issue is NOT related to Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS). With DDoS there are thousands of machines across the world, accessing a domain to take it down, like banks, governments, anyone, it is used by unfriendly hackers and evil countries with paid hacker groups. The master IORR.org domaine is never down, just the forum, a subsite on iorr, is being very slow at times.

Just bear in mind that IORR is two separate systems:

iorr.org : Not affected by the issue (all pages except for "/talk")

iorr/org/talk : Forum pages, data in database, may get slow with many request from crawlers/machines (not real people)

I will find a new and more robust supplier and solution for the forum i.e. talks pages.

IORR is a gift and a selfless one at that. Thank you for it. The occasional downtime is a minor inconvenience and certainly common enough everywhere online.

That's a complicated matter, at least in parts but a 100% nescessary and worthwhile decision!

IORR is such a rich source of content and even more such a wonderful meeting point of fans of this fantastic band - it should be safe against possible dangers and have a loooooooong future lifespan! smiling bouncing smiley

While moving to the new version of the website, I think it would not be the worst idea to rename the Tell Me forum to Tell Me Straight. smiling smiley

I've seen the bad gateway window several times lately. Just thought it was people overloading the site with on tour comments.

Yes, noticed it. Only Tell Me and it has nothing to do with busy posting. Thanks for trying to sort it out.

It's been rather irritating, I must say. Very glad to read that it'll be fixed very soon thumbs up

As of today at noon time Central Europen Time, the IORR forum performance is excellent, i.e. it takes a second or less to load any forum pages. I have not done any changes, so there may have been some external abuse; will look into it.
