Yep, seriously broken now.

So I've swapped out the hardware to see if it is this that has gone faulty.

If this goes offline again then I know it's not the hardware and it might be the operating system.

If that's the case then this forum will be inaccessible this week whilst I rebuild a new server.

At the moment this is now running in "limp" mode so expect it to run slow.

So I have put the forum on a new computer and it seems to be doing fine now. I am thinking maybe I burnt the old one out.

Poor little pie could only take so many asynchronous requests

@mightyman It was well utilised over four cores lol

It's actually higher spec than say a small AWS machine. It's very performant. However it's ARM and it's also running on an SD card which is a ticking time bomb lmfao.

I reckon it was the ethernet that burnt out. I might solder a new one on it and see if it works.

We're now running on a new Pi 3 so upgrade and ting.

Well , the forum running awesome fast now.
Great job and thank you @Calum .

[Calum]

@zrako Lol, it's running off the Wifi at the moment.

Although I wonder if that was the cause all along

The forum is literally sat on my window sill lmao

[Calum]

There it is ladies a d gents, The DT Forum. And above it the bastard thing that burnt out earlier lol.
