Andrew 4777 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Hello everyone, it is no secret that we've been putting this together but here it is! The official TT Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/ToontasticNet You'll find everything you need to know on the page, but here is a quick rundown of how it works and what it is for. The purpose of this Patreon is to cover the running costs of the board, pay for any maintenance or upgrade costs in future and cover any unexpected expenses that may come with running this place. We want to stress from the outset that there is no pressure for anyone to become a patron, we've tried to keep the donation amounts fairly low, starting at £2 a month. If you can afford to donate, then please do, if not, no worries. We're not locking any board content behind a paywall, everyone, patron or not, will be able to see and post as they always have. We do have one little bonus for Patrons however, at the end of each year we will be donating any excess funds to a local charity, as nominated and voted on by our patrons.

Andrew 4777 Posted November 24 Author Share Posted November 24 I believe the slowdown is coming from a SHIT LOAD of "members" trying to access the site, I assume a load of bots. We've had registrations turned off to try to ride out the chinese bot wave but this might require a little tweaking. I'll do some experimenting over the next few days but be warned this might result in us seeing those bot posts again. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many new member requests per day on average, and could we not have new members not allowed to create new topics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new member topic thing isnt a standard invision feature, so unfortunately its not a plug and play solution. New signups themselves aren't causing the slowdown, but if you look on the main page, down the bottom you can see our "most users ever online" peaked at 1500ish a few days ago. We're essentially getting lightly DDOSd. We currently have 650ish online, earlier today it was over 1000. I do think that an invision upgrade will help to fix this, but the licence is pricey and we are currently saving up patreon money for it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
