    1st time on the forum in a week or so. I had no joy at logging in. Even Google couldn't find TeamKitfox.com

    Are we having web site issues or just server spring cleaning?

    Glad we are back up and running regardless.

    Thanks Admin!

    It was website issues. Thousands of foreign bots have overwhelmed our site and the host server company shut it down. Hopefully that issue has been solved.

    Last night or early this morning at about 0-dark-thirty (2am) I was the only member online and about 650 visitors.

    Is that normal or are the bots still active?

    As of this moment (10am), 4 members and 653 guests online.

    That is the problem we are trying to address. Right now 2 registered users and 811 bots.

    As I type this, I'm the only registered user logged in. The site status says this:

    There are currently 732 users online. 1 members and 731 guests
    Most users ever online was 63,148, 05-14-2025 at 06:07 AM.

    That second line gives a clue as to the scale of the problem. Yikes!

    If you notice, the number of "guests" has gone up every day since site came back.

    Time to require registration and usernames to do more than the home page....
    1100 Guest BOTS sifting through the database can't be good. Somebody is pulling that information for a reason....
