The slowness has rendered the site unusable.

Added: And of course this reply posted almost immediately.

I haven't had any issues since the fix last week

EDIT - And just like that, as soon as I posted the above I started getting "Site can't be reached" again.

It's been hit or miss here. Sometimes it fires right in. Others, it spins until timing out. Generally hit the refresh button and it loads right up thereafter.

I would think more likely being slurped by a misbehaving web crawler or some malcreant trying to brute-force accounts with a bot net, but I'm only a desk chair quarterback and don't run this site.....

But apparently the other forum I visited was getting 150k hits per hour or something like that.

Is it just me or has the site been acting up lately?
For about a week or so, a lot of times during the day I can`t log in

Seems fine to me.

SwankPeRFection · 07-01-2025, 10:06 AM

Dog slow again today in some subforums (G8x).

Westside Guy · 07-15-2025, 08:53 AM

The website is slow this morning, I am on a high speed fiber optic network and it is taking up to 30 seconds for pages to appear.

I have no issues on any other website that I visit.

Sometimes the databases of these forums get bogged down. The admins usually clean it up but its not instantaneous.

SwankPeRFection · 07-15-2025, 02:42 PM

G8x forums are DOG SLOW AGAIN today!!!!

Esteban · 07-15-2025, 05:01 PM

It's definitely S-L-O-W. Must be patient grasshopper.

I have been able to post, several times matter of fact. Just have to be patient, as I mentioned above. I understand your situation, though, posting from work is different than me, posting from home in my leisure.

I tried logging in a couple times during the day today, and I couldn`t log in. I just logged in, and it looks like it`s back to normal

fe7565 · 07-17-2025, 05:26 PM

I know this is an ongoing thread...first time post here.

The site access and page refresh is randomly slow. Same on desktop as on iPhone app. Last night I wrote it off as too many people on at the same time, but today several times during the day USA EST pages were not accessible and not that many people were on it. I am in the DC area of the US of A.

Bimmerpost servers busy due to their local weather? Servers are located in one location only, not dispersed around several different IP providers, countries? Peaking at times at max server-capacity?

SwankPeRFection · 07-17-2025, 09:22 PM

What is going on with the constant database errors and timeouts over the past few days?! It is 1994 again? 🤷*♂️
