Subject: Question about downtime website
We did have some trouble last weekend. I don't know about today. I've been gone.
Available on Amazon for the Kindle E-Reader Monster of the North and The Shimmering Mage
Today I break my own personal record for the number of days for being alive.
Check out my store here or my free stuff here
I use Poser 13 and win 10
Hi guys! The lead developer for the site here. For the past year, we've been battling against different types of bots that have been interacting with the site in novel ways that have also been detrimental to the site's stability. We've implemented several defense mechanisms to reduce their effect on the site overall with great success. @infinity10's observation is spot-on. For the past 2 weekends, we have once again been getting hit intermittently with bot activity that has caused site instability. Last week we made several adjustments that we believed would fully resolve the instability issues. The site maintained greatly improved stability throughout the remainder of the week. Then, we once again were hit with bot activity in a different way than the prior weekend that caused some outages. Luckily, the instability this weekend was much less severe than last weekend; however, any instability is not something we are just going to tolerate. I have been investigating potential causes and solutions this morning, and will continue to assess the best way for us to improve stability without affecting user experience.

It's sure slow as heck right now, Feb 19, 2026 at 7.24 PST. Couldn't download this evening's purchase of Gothic Room because it was so slow it would have taken at least a half hour.
I checked other online sites and nothing else seemed to be like this, tho in general things were a bit slower than usual.
No problem, whatever it is will be fixed. Cheers!

I'm just wondering if you guys pull the plug on the weekends, it's nearly impossible to browse the store or site without having. It's been many weeks this has been going on.
