Announcement:

Due to market conditions and their obligation to their parent company to drive growth, OcUK forums have made the difficult decision to allocate 99% of their compute capacity to a federated AI platform. OcUK forums thanks members for their posts over the years and wishes them well in finding a new - responsive - internet home.

Sorry guys. I was trying to play In Dulce Jubilo on the baubels. Not only have they stopped jingling, the entire website is now experiencing a slowdown.

Seems you need to upgrade to a 5090, 128GB of RAM, and 196 core AMD for those pinging xmas balls not to slown down your computer

Someone's been feeding the hamsters too many mince pies and they've broken the wheel!

Hamsters not getting a Christmas bonus this year...

Seems to have sped up a little bit for me, still slower than usual though.

Posting this for a friend. Those were the days when certain websites didn't exist and you had to dig round random websites. The first parts load well until the final bit confirms they are a lady boy.

This is worse than dial up :cry:

Most of the internet is slow today for me.

It feels as though DNS is responding very, very slowly on every page load. Those pulsing bars we sometimes get in the top right corner aren't there which suggests it's not Xenforo itself being slow in processing.

I'm getting those pulsing three bars at the top.

I thought it was me but internet speeds are fine, latency and jitter fine, and other sites are working great. Get the three bars and then usually "oops. we ran into some problems" message.

Welcome... To AO hell!

Those poor hamsters cannot cope with the extra strain of those musical Xmas decorations in the banner.

We've been hit by an AI Bot swarm, over 60,000 of them hammering every thread on the site. Working on it now.

The pictures always downloaded loaded from the top so you had to wait till it got down to the juicy bits then it would time out and stop downloading just before :cry:
