Data base error- very often

[gbk]

Is there anything can be done from the Forum side to eliminate this reoccurring problem?

We're getting a lot of bot attacks which we're troubleshooting.
Thank you for your continued patience; we appreciate it can be mighty frustrating.

Connectivity to the site is getting worse for me. I'm regularly struggling to connect to the forum or navigate it.

Most of this week I've been getting the database error. Is it just me?

Every morning for the last 7 days for me as well. And from time to time for the last year or so.

Have you been able to find the source?

I get it a few times a week as well.

Given the political nature of OOD and the significant anti-hunting contingent out there plus bad actors that would like to know who likely owns guns, the site should be behind something like Akamai to protect it from attacks.

I do not know why but I have never had this database error. Just finished switching from an ancient PC with Win7 Pro to a new laptop with Win 11 Pro and still nothing. I go on at least once a day and have been using Mozilla Firefox with both systems. Have I just been lucky?

Yes. Try at about 6:15 AM. That's when I typically see it.
