AvCanada finally restored and functional once again
Well that took a long time and I appologize for the delay. This particular issue could not be repaired via the normal method.
Please let me know if you encounter any issues the next few hours.

Everything seems to work but loads very slowly.
As an AvCanada discussion grows longer:

It seems that phpBB isn't as robust as it used to be.

Back up and running. Appologzie for the delay had two flights today. Thank you for the hundreds of emails letting me know the table crashed again. Again it did not repair via the normal method and took a lot longer to fix.
Re: AvCanada finally restored and functional once again
Something might still be afoot. Making a post is significantly slower than normal. Even loading topics isn't as smooth as it used to be.

hopefully third time is the charm
Re: AvCanada finally restored and functional once again
Sure looks like an ongoing DDoS attack.
Re: AvCanada finally restored and functional once again
It's been slowing down again significantly this morning. A sign of more trouble to come?

I was thinking the same thing.
Re: AvCanada finally restored and functional once again
Site continues to be quite janky today, very slow loading times - being logged out randomly, etc. Maybe it's time for an upgrade to a newer forum platform?

Re: AvCanada finally restored and functional once again
It's definitely not restored and functional. I'm getting "General Error" about 50% of the time and even when it does work it takes much much longer than normal for pages to load.

Re: AvCanada finally restored and functional once again
I’m pretty sure avcanada would get a few donations to upgrade their forums if required. I’d certainly toss in some of my per diems
Re: AvCanada finally restored and functional once again
It’s still not working very good. Crashes half the time…..very slow to load.

Added serveral internatioal bots to the .htaccess file and so far seems to have helped reduce the massive number of connections. Working the problem.

If you host on OVH (including their cloud servers), you get DDoS protection included for free. I've used it for many years, and it works great. You also don't have to pay for outgoing or incoming bandwidth.
