Constant BAD GATEWAY 500 errors everyday

[lenoxseer]

I've been experiencing constant bad gateway 500 errors everyday while visiting the site the last couple weeks. It happens on any device I use and no matter what network I am on (home, work, in-laws, neighbor). There are times where it is fine and I can actually view the site or even post as I am now. It will take a long time to load and then gives me a 520 error or a 510 error and says its a problem with the host. Anyone know what could be going on? Thanks!

I will be sure to take a screenshot if it happens again and post it when the site is working again.

I'm aware of the issue, well the result. It's a mix of us getting hit hard lately and something going on with cloudflare. As of the moment, everything loads on http, but fails on https and I'm trying to figure out why.

Thanks for checking on it Snowcone.  I hit you up on the TCP Twitter about it the other day.  Seems to be working for the moment.

Porn spambots seem to be able to create accounts and post nicely...

I'm still having intermediate issues here and there with accessing the site / forum.  Just to keep you updated.

Keep an eye on it. If you are still having issues at EOD, say 9pm eastern, let me know. It's working far better for me now that we aren't behind cloudflare. Go figure....

I'm assuming you made changes sometime this morning.  It was still acting up when I first tried to access this morning but seems to have cleared up now.

Everything working fine now. Thanks!

I was having issues as late as 3:00 PM Central on Wednesday, but everything has been working this evening.

Still having serious trouble.

Front page usually loads with 3rd or 4th try but beyond that...
Sometimes I can get in if I let page load for 5-10 minutes, but most often it fails completely.
There are brief moments (about every few hours) that all works fine but those only last minute or two.

Yeah, i'm working on things still trying to stabilize. DanTheMan gave me some things to try and we are watching it. It's still slow, but it's loading

[Snowcone]

Yeah, the issues started back up for me, but now I can tell which IPs are pounding on the site and block them.

Getting better... wait is only 30-60 seconds and pages are not failing to open.
Sometimes pages are not fully loading but enough that one can read, but even those glitches are way less.
Thank you.

Taking me forever to load a page
