Ill have a look at that - seems like there is some runaway process which needs to be killed.

I'll keep you updated once I found it

Edit 1:
Yep it's a wild running process.

I will kill the service and reboot it after that (in some minutes)

Expect a 1 - 2 minute downtime

Edit 2: Everything up and running + evil processes killed

Thanks for reporting

I got this before you rebooted. I think it was just becuase you rebooted.

mySQL query error: SELECT id, member_id, running_time, location FROM ibf_sessions WHERE id='afffed2c26e2b08c817af798dfd87004' and ip_address='66.81.61.19'

Yes that's because the reboot.

A reboot disables all services like mysql / httpd etc one by one. After all services are down it reboots the server and starts all services again

Thanks again for your very efficient service, Darker.

i had the same as mogadishu, thx Darker for the prompt fix.

[TheMusicMan]

Nothing to thank at all It just sucks to see that all of the free boards have problems with heavy traffic - time for the developers to stand up and code a high traffic solution which does NOT waste resources

Darker, there are some gifs associated with the site which may not be gifs at all. I've had a look at them and they lock up the sytem every time.

Three of them I've identified are in klboard.ath.cx/bb/uploads

There's a few associated with cyberwebextreme that may not be what they appear either. I'm not sure if it's just a windows thing, it may not affect your system at all, but windows locks up or crashes everytime I get near one of those.

[nikita69]

not sure if this relates to what is currently happening, yet i'm experiencing on and off slow, if not a time out, connection to the board only.
Edit: especially posting (upload)
