Is it just me that is getting refchat as being down more often than not down recently?
Seems to have been getting progressively worse... today it'll go down for an hour then come back online for a short period before going down again.

 

[Samuel]

Yes I keep getting hit with the "resource limit reached" error.

What am I supposed to do now instead of actually doing my day job?

 

[Ross]

Let me investigate that

I’ve got that quite a bit, too. Same message as Samuel.

 

[Gabriel]

I’ve had it at least 4 times today I’ve had 6 weeks off, what else am I supposed to do if RefChat is down!

And me

I ended up talking to my gf on Monday afternoon I was that bored.

Luckily managed to get mine to a local derby (somehow)

Funnily enough mine was supposed to be doing the same, due to finish work at 12, leave the house at 12:30 (we live above her place of work).
Came home, had a row, her and the kids stayed home, I went on my own

Can’t see anything obvious causing this. Escalated it to support to investigate

Seems to have been down for a fairly lengthy period tonight, feels like a peak period thing which would point at traffic overload.

Just had another round which I'm sure you're aware of.

 

[RustyRef]

If it helps it is often around this time that it has the issues. So tonight I couldn't get on from around 10:25 and it has just come back now.

Could this be something to do with it?

90% of these “guests” are surely bots/crawlers.

I’ve never consciously noticed it being above 500 or so before so I’m guessing that definitely has something to do with it

Yeah and loads of ‘new members’ are advertising bots, mostly with some weird foreign gambling site name / profile pic.

Yeah. I think we'll be ok once we control that. Must be a new trend or could be DDoS. None of these members have posted anything.

Happy to change my username to BigSlots777 if it makes them feel at home
