Checking in - Quiet in here?!?

[Mooseman]

Is it just me or there haven't been any posts in the past few days? Not even the WDYDTYGT or WAYDT threads.

Nothing, I have had some loading issues with the site, it takes a bit some times.

 

[Mooseman]

Me too, mostly in the mornings. Sometimes didn't want to load at all.

Have noticed loading issues as well as a "Server Not Found" warning this morning. Otherwise, it's been 110F to 115F+ here in sunny AZ so too hot to really do anything other than sweat!

On the Flip Side...What is really astonishing in the midst of this recent silent phenomena ...is the number of Guests on hand at this very moment... 16,632 at 15:52 EST...

If nothing else it's a measure of how many people are still trying to keep these fading rigs going I guess. I don't feel so alone

Now it is up to 20,318 ... Seems like a Good Time to Invite as many of the Guests as possible to Come to GMT Nation and JOIN US...

Come in Guys... The Water's FINE!

I couldnt get on for hours this morning.. Nothing to post, just doing my normal multi-check in routine.

Checking in! I've been pretty busy at work covering for my supervisor.

The Voy is just in my driveway waiting for me to pay it some attention. The only thing I've done is pull it of the driveway for a wash once a month for the past 5 months.

Is pretty quiet, I'm the only one here right now, guess nothing broke...

The slowness of the site, I suspect, are AI scraper bots. Had the same problem on the Caprice site so it has been locked down and available only to registered members after manual vetting, no guests. They were going through Terrabytes of data!

And we were just invaded here by AI bots that registered several new members and posted in various threads posting links to articles on an AI generated site. They have been banned and their content deleted.
