  • Just a quick note, the view count changing will be completed shortly, but wont be uploaded for a little while so please bear with me.

  • The amount of views the articles receives is an effective DDOS on our server which is possibly why it's been slower and less responsive recently.

    There's a small group of IP's which are the culprits, which I've banned from our server and have currently no intention of unbanning.

    The user in question has not accessed our website as far as we can tell with any of the IPs in the DDos. We'll be monitoring the situation though.

    I'm also currently working to change the article view count to be based on unique IP address views which should stop similar situations in the future. Please bear with me.

  • Link seems to work fine for me

  • It's a good suggestion and is one we're considering! Unfortunately we have a lot of work to do at the moment so even if we decide to go ahead with this it could take a while to implement.

  • Don't worry, we've purchased a much bigger server which we're moving over to this week. It has a lot more ram and cpu cores, as well as an SSD. It should significantly improve site performance.

  • It's a bug. The arcade is being redesigned soon, and this will be fixed during the redevelopment.

  • The new tutorial system currently is logging unique IP views (but this is currently hidden in the background). It's my aim to list this as the view count and not each page views as it currently does. This should make scamming the view counts a lot harder.
