I don’t know what’s up with the forum but im constantly getting timeouts. The only thing that seems to work is if I turn my VPN on, but even then it’s a little slow.

BroDoze · 02-27-2025, 07:37 AM

Still has a delay right now - this is after being completely unavailable 45min ago.

Westside Guy · 02-27-2025, 09:16 AM

It is super slow today and pages are taking forever to appear on both my Chrome and Safari browsers.

paul e · 02-27-2025, 09:52 AM

Ditto…annoying.

D335NUTZ · 02-27-2025, 09:52 AM

I came here to ask the same thing. The past 2 days I've been timing out and couldn't load anything on the bimmerpost app. Thought someone was wrong with my phone. Then I tried the website and the same thing... Hope they can fix this.

cbpip · 02-27-2025, 12:42 PM

Sloooooooow is an understatement .

Pauly Wauly · 02-27-2025, 12:54 PM

They must have switched over to dial-up internet

.
You can`t even reply to PMs

cmyx6go · 02-27-2025, 01:33 PM

I think it's worse than yesterday.

I sent a few emails to friends this am to enquire about the inability to even access the forum. Glad to hear I wasn't the only one. Still slow... I think I'll go outside and watch the snow melt.

BobsM3Coupe · 02-27-2025, 02:55 PM

Yesterday and today, it's very slow.

Just came here to add reference that when it happened I was getting permission errors to send a PM, then tried 10 seconds later and things sent...10 seconds later couldn't even log back in.

It's sporadic at best!

Seems almost like a host ddos attack...

You know when it first started again was when I read the post about the driver going through the dealer window because of not being approved for financing.

Wonder if that same driver is taking revenge on the forums?! ( i jest, that person is probably in jail by now)

F87source · 02-27-2025, 08:24 PM

Im getting slowness as well, I suspect it is the AI bots scalping this site for information to train their LLM's which is why it is so slow. This is happening over on other forums I visit, and their moderators managed to stop it (not sure how). But apparently the other forum I visited was getting 150k hits per hour or something like that.

Mondomensch · 02-27-2025, 09:07 PM

+1 last few days. Annoying

If everybody'd stop posting about how slow it is, it'd be fine. You're just clogging it up more!!!

lol

You might be right. It could be something else. But the robots.txt file here looks like it could use a bit of an update. The showthread.php page is not listed, so it's open, to normal search indexing, but now all these ai bots.

This article shows how to update the file and block a bunch of the ai bots out of the entire site,
