FST load problem

[Buffalo]

Can you advise please.

for the last two days I have not been able to login or even load FST.
Today I'm using a proxy server to gain access and it's still very slow to load.
I'm using IE7, I've just tried FFox but still a no go.
My IP starts with 172. is this in Block at all?
will give full info (ipconfig /all) via PM if requested

Hope you can advise, Thanks for any help

[RealitY]

Looking into this now...

Loading very well at the moment without the use of the proxy server.
Nice to be back in, and has been well missed, + wanted to post my new Karaoke video for the FST Idol 2007 Awards :lol:

:lol: Hehe, seems like the board has been slowin' for longtime now.

Takes, and I mean this quite literally, 3-5 mins. to post a QUICK reply /:dabs: This has happened to me alot lately...:cry:

[Ava Estelle]

This page took 35 seconds to load, the reply box took 29 seconds to load, I don't even bother with quick reply any more, it justs hangs.

This place has been shockingly slow for weeks now, just look in the Drawing Room, the place has almost dried up, it just isn't worth hanging around waiting to post, some days it's just 'Server Busy' notices.

Probably why the boards so slow , that kool video . :D

[Buffalo]

:) more vids to come yet! :rock:

Well I think I've found the problem to slow loads and blocks,
>But I could be wrong<
Are you using a blocking system for proxy IPs due to server abuse?
The trouble is a lot of members are on a proxy ISP with no choice.
Even when I change my ISP on the 11th of this month it's not going to be a static IP :no:, so I may still have the same problem with connection, if that IP range has been blocked by the system.
It's a bit of a problem for all,
Server Abuse is a big issue :yes:
But if members can't gain access, then what's the point :unsure:
I'm sure it will sort.

I'm talking crap again :fist:
see you on the flip flop, ping pong_______________________ i'm gone

[RealitY]

The server issues will most likely be sorted sometime today.
Were looking into other things for the server also...

[Buffalo]

Thank you RealitY.
I've managed to gain access, my IP @ the mo is 172.207.***.***
Slow loading.... But I'm in :)

Please,
All I ask is, why am I being Blocked from FST.

I'm on a new ISP, Today I got in ok, but now I'm blocked again.
The only way I can get in is via proxy servers.

If you don't want my on FST then do the right thing, send me a PM or just bann me!

PLEASE........ tell me what's going on!

[tesco]

What kind of message do you get? Does it say (in a fst-style page) that you've been IP banned or what?

[RealitY]

Hes been locked from the site as his connection is showing multiple hits in short time frames. This is the same thing that happened before. Think his pc was infected at that time and acting strangly. Though not sure whats going on this time. When the servers notes this type of activity your locked from the site. This block will be released after a time frame but if your connection does the same youll be locked again. This has nothing to do with any Staff locking you as its an automated thing...

[Buffalo]

It was blatantly obvious that I was being blocked again and for no reason.
The multiple hits from my ip to the FST server is bullshit.
I know what's going on and you do as well yet you are not willing to do anything about it, it makes me wonder what hold this person has on FST.
How odd.

I run two servers, do you think I would let myself be compromised, not at all, there is nothing wrong with my computer, it's running fine, I’ve been working on computers for 6 years, I think I would know if I had a problem.
When I post, my IP should be on show to certain staff not all, and access to certain parts of the admin panel should also be blocked to certain staff as well.

If no other member is having problems then it's obvious I’m a target.

All things I do on FST when accessing is normal, just like any member.

I'm not going to keep off as I'm not giving in, I just wish you would catch the member of staff that's doing it and do like I said before in the report section, Bann them.

Not so long ago my posts were being edited now this.

I do appreciate what you have done to help me; I don't like to be trouble.
Thank you.

[Mr JP Fugley]

This stuff is all :whoosh: to me however I hope you chaps can get it sorted.

Paranoia ftw.

Thank you.No member of staff has the kind of access to block you from the site (server level) except for me and reality, as we could just PM a server technician. Rookie also could, technically, but he doesn't know who you are so why would he target you.
I'm not blocking you, and RealitY is surely not blocking you because afaik he also has nothing against you.

It must be somethig to do with your computer or connection. If you make too many connections at once the server IP bans you automatically (nothing we can do about it...sometimes even I get banned and cant do anythig but change my ip if I do certain things in the admincp which reload the page really rapidly.

Don't know what to tell you. :( Are you using firefox with some sort of speedup plugin?

[Buffalo]

@ Snny..... Paranoia!
I have NOTHING to be ashamed about, unlike yourself.
Normal people don't dig past like you did boy,
My Quote: (What a immature C**t you are Sunny)
And so true.. still to this day, thanks :)

@ Rossco & RealitY,
you can have my word of honor, I would never tamper with the FST server,
I have no reason or gain, I'm a good person & I hope a good member.
I use IE7 :unsure: and that's it.

I have nothing wrong with my PC, no way,
Like I said I run two servers, one in IRL and the other in the USA,
no way could I allow myself to be compromised, I would get shut down as they are shared servers, My computer has been fully tested 100%,
online & offline.
As for the plugin's :no: I just don't use.
I keep my main PC very basic as I need it for my work.

Tonight I'm in ok as I'm on a new ISP again. (non redten)

I thank you for all the help you have gave me,
I'm sorry if I'm accusing someone but I was told not so long ago that if you are a unwated member you are put on such a method to get rid of them.
If you require this info on who told me this I will send you a PM.

Thank you from baz

When we spoke you showed me screens of what happened when you came to the site. Those were some strange screens. They looked like an infected computer or major issues. If I recall you mentioned not having av but added it and then mentioned all was sorted.

I checked your ip then and it was blocked for multiple hits. This could be page refreshes. It could be an infected pc doing weird stuff. It could be a variety of things. Though we dont think your aware of it or doing it intentionally.

As rossco mentioned hes had this problem as Ive had it also. The settings are set to allow you back in time if you are blocked. Though when you get back in if your pace repeats the server will lock you out again.

Maybe wait and log back in from a different pc for a couple days and note if you get the same locks. If not the pc your on is the issue though if your locked again we could look into it more at that point...

[Buffalo]

I've just finished a full test of my PC, all is ok.

Note: i'm going to ping the FST server, and do a full traceroute,
will send you details of the results.

Today so far I'm having no problems connecting, no blocks at all.

just a sample of test:

Wow, crap. I'm having the same problem, too. Except I don't get the error message...I just get the typical &quot;No Page to Display&quot; thingy from IE7. It never even tries to load (currently on a proxy), I guess I hit the refresh too much? I was rapidly answering the email reply update thingys, but I've done that before with no problem.
:idunno:

[Sawyer2020]

i dont have truble to come here

[MultiForce]

I also get the problem, either with a refuses connection msg or timeout. For some odd reason this just happens when I'm at work and there is a difference between the two networks we use. Don't matter what browser I use.

Never got this problem @ home except when the site really IS down.

The weird thing is that I does not happen with any other site I use. Only this one.

[thewizeard]

It's been terrible.this morning..the board seems to have gone mad..I made one post and then I look back and there are 6 of the same.

Perhaps a good time to consider professional hosting; in the Netherlands?

..although I would miss these nolstalgic moments.

I have also had some strange messages, "you are not allowed to view this or that forum"

sixtuple posts due to the server problems and lags...
Something has to be done...

Why don't you just ban him. When there's no more users left there won't be any server load problems.

Fucking fascist.
