No, not fixed, and still running slow, slow, slow...
Got a captcha put in place to block most of the bots that are eating up server resources. Let's see if things stay speedy tomorrow, without anything breaking, and without logged in users having any added hassle.
It's pretty wild how all this AI junk has increased automated traffic to websites. Probably 95% of the pageviews BHO is serving aren't from humans. It amounts to something like 40,000 unique IP addresses every hour!
Some of those are fine - Google's search engine spider, for example. But most of them are from bad actors - automated, distributed services that misidentify themselves. I can only assume they're out there sucking up data across the web for who knows what future use.
