server

Jin did stuff to the server? It's been as bad as ever...

Judging by the specs I seem to remember the server being, it should easily be able to cope with Hx, HxF, HxL and more no sweat... so it really does beg the question, what the heck has been done to it to make it so unreliable?

It's not the server itself, I'm still confident that it's the server's network connection that's causing the problems. The server has no problems with entirely internal page requests.

Over the past couple of days it's been alright for me but it seems slow today, but I could be saying it seemed "alright" because I haven't been on in a very long time so can't really judge.

I might be being overly negative but this problems now been around for a good few years, is it really gonna go away?

I seem to remember that when you were GM that you kept telling people to stop complaining

It's not that great for the General Manager to be aware of the problem and not be able to do much about it to fix it, all you can do is tell Jin about these threads and post "I've told Jin" but naturally people are never gonna be happy enough with that, hard situation and all I can say is don't blame Matt, although that seems to be the one thing that's changed about these threads, clear understanding that the GM can do very little, if anything about this

Hey guys,

I know it's very annoying, it's very annoying for me as well. I've just been told to tell you that these recent issues are being caused by a dos/ddos which happens everyday near enough the same time. Sometimes Russia, sometimes China etc. If I get any further updates I will let you know, like any time the server has problems I contact Jin straight away to try and get them dealt with.

dos/ddos

Gonna be honest, it would be mitigated if you started blocking some of the 200 odd guests on the forum. We all know that at least 60% of them are bots.

probs just the backup as usual. why would people in china/russia want to ddos habbox at the exact same times every day?

Back up happens in early morning, not in the middle of the evening.
