Well I did wonder. Exchanged a few mails with Webmaster Steve who was fighting hard to keep the site going (it was stuttering and misfiring like it'd got flooded on the Northern Run!) and he ended up restarting the session table, which seemed to do the trick (guest users back down to 2!). I wondered if it might be something server-related that's not freeing up resources correctly after a guest leaves, but the guest count does fluctuate so I dunno.
Might be time to go for that fully-hosted and managed solution we keep muttering about...
It was busy on Wednesday, had to clear the session table 4 times to keep the site up. Can't see any hacking footprints, may have been DOS but could also have been search engines
We need to look at moving host, they only give us 24 max user connections and won't increase it
For a site this big, that miserably small and leads to lots of errors,
I'll keep monitoring it today and see what's happening, at least now I can log posts on the support site, I must say that vbulletins support is not good so far
I need to look at the scheduled tasks to make sure they are running correctly, that should clear the sessions on a routine base, as well as clear cache etcQuote:
