BBSes in the early 80's at 300 baud were snappy than Basttard Factory is right now. @Jock can you call off your crew of teenagers how are doing the DOS attack?

Its not a DOS attack. We are using up to much bandwidth as the site has grown.. therefore need to increase monthly server bill and get more bandwidth.

From our host server: "I understand that your website is loading with a 502 Bad Gateway error. Here to take a look and assist! I reviewed the Droplet (167.99.159.72), and I could see spikes in the CPU usage graph for this droplet. When this situation occurs, it will often cause the running applications to crash as they struggle to obtain the resources needed to function properly, which in this case may have been your web server."

It does not matter if there are 10 messages or 10 million. That just sits on the hard drive until it is accessed. The traffic on a message board is minimal. You need to analyze the traffic and see what is being accessed. Someone is just hammering the site with useless requests. You have over 8000 lurkers and 700 robots. Block those IP addresses.

So they are saying they are not providing you with the CPU time....they might have problems with other sites. They should be reserving CPU time for BF exclusively.....or what are you paying for?
