Perlmonks is unavailable most of the time, what's up? I can hardly vote, and posting is nigh to impossible! Does anyone know what's cooking?

    tye++ found a rogue bot hitting the site 2 times a second. Things cleared up immediately when he killed it.
      He should take the head, have it stuffed, and mount it in the halls of the Monastery. :)


      Revolution. Today, 3 O'Clock. Meet behind the monkey bars.

      I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code

      Unless that bot's back again today, I think there must be other problems. (I've never thought of PerlMonks as a particularly snappy web app, but....)

    I've been noticing the monastery getting progressively slower lately - to the point that our corporate proxy times it out (after, like, a minute or so).

    I'm curious what the bottleneck with the site is - is it disk, db, cpu?
