ayuxx said: Maybe I haven't been around long enough or simply haven't paid attention, but why does someone (someones?) seem to have a problem with MAL? These DDoS attacks have happened quite frequently. I dont think any active forum even exists that doesn't have a hater or 2 on it day in, day out... MAL has like 1 million accounts created so the butthurt must be strong too. Hell, maybe they even get paid to do it |

Same here. Ditto to that except it shows up randomly at clubs or profiles as well and when I tried to log in earlier. Glad to see I'm not the only one experiencing problems. |
 |
| Yeah, same here. I hope it's not the October problems all over again. |
| I'm now completely locked out of the site on Firefox. I had the same issues as everyone else - but now I can't even get to the site, Incapsula blocks me. I assumed I may have somehow gotten into a botnet that's DDOS'ing the site, but all my scans are clean. I don't see why it's working on Chrome though, but hopefully it keeps doing so. |
 |
| I really hope this site makes things work :( It's getting quite annoying and I am not visiting it much in the first place. I can only imagine what the regulars feel like >.< |
   |
| Same problem here. The pages take way to long to load.(sometimes no) |
 |
| Forums usually load faster, but they give me bad connection to server from time to time. |
|
| Stopped making problems for me. |
|
| I've been having a bit of trouble logging in. every time I would try to log in, the page would freeze for 30 seconds.. and then a long list of source code/programming mumbo jumbo would pop up. what I did to fix this was click on a random person's profile and try to send them a message. this would bring me to a not-broken log in page. I am a computer genius. |

| From my understanding, we are no longer being DDOS'd like I stated back in October. The problem is related to the number of users using the site at one time. When the number of active users increases beyond 5000, the site (or rather the site via Incapsula) has difficulties loading properly. You can see the number of active users here. With everyone on vacation due to the winter break, we are now surpassing this number on a nightly basis for a much larger time period than the few hours on weekends we saw in Nov/Dec. I notified Xinil before the holidays that this would become an even larger problem with everyone off work/school, but it seems Crave was unable to do anything about it before taking their holidays. Unfortunately, this means we need to wait it out until early January - when everyone's holidays are over. Traffic already seems to pick up at about 9-10am PST and holds steady until at least 4-5pm PST. If you find MAL loading terribly slow, or not loading at all, it's best to stay off of the site for while. I apologise for the inconvenience. |

This, but the opposite. I can't use on Chrome but can on FF/IE. |
| Kineta, may I ask on how many (and how capable) computers do the MAL servers run on? I want to get the general idea whether is it the Incapsula's fault, or the hosting that could be done better. Regardless, thanks for informing us, it's appreciated. |
| So my router resets where useless....Now I feel stupid. |

That's what I assumed and explains why my hourly cronjob that accesses MAL only when new data is needed to be fetched gets so much empty pages back since 21st. (yes, it's [should be] whitelisted [for months]) http://uppix.com/f-cron52c191b20014fc52.jpg <- in GMT; all empty pages Kinda annoying, though. Considering the amount of accounts on MAL 5000 sounds ridiculously low to make such difficulties (returning raw php), to be honest.

Seems about right for the most times. |

nantuko said: Considering the amount of accounts on MAL 5000 sounds ridiculously low to make such difficulties (returning raw php), to be honest. Exactly, hence why I asked about the site/server running in my previous post. MAL does not offer some sort of streaming to push such heaviness onto it. It's basically a database with a lot of text and pictures, for which 5000 members surfing at one point shouldn't be too much. Far from that. On short, 5000 members surfing is nothing if we look at the services that MAL offers. That makes it weird for the site going slow at that number already. |

| Tbh, this site needs an upgrade. |

OriginANIME said: When I update my list it wont even direct me to the discussion forums anymore because its so laggy. >:( (going manually sucks) Same, it's really annoying... It's pretty much my only concern. I readed up there that we have to wait for the page to be fully loaded, but it seem like it never stop loading, even when I go in watching tab. Higashi_no_Kaze said: Any plans on improving that? Making MAL borderline unusable all day long for at least a week now makes it seem like a permanent condition. That's what I though too. I heard rumor that the admin often do pretty much nothing. I don't want to sound like an asshole, I know that I don't pay a crap to use that site and I'm grateful for that. But when it come that I lose almost half the time of an anime episode to comment on the last one I saw, it just make me feel that I'm losing so much time. |

| You would think a site with two million members would have coders who actually care. |

| Okay this is getting me annoyed, it's so freaking slow, and not only that, but the new avatar i'm trying to upload never works. |
 |
| I'm pretty used to this, but today is so freaking slow that I'm getting annoyed just from press F5. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I do not believe that constant complaining will change anything. Read the Update that Kineta has posted, and hopefully wait for some further news on the matter. It is happening to more or less everyone, and the issue is known, no need to keep emphasizing it. |
| It was slow as hell but I think its fine now. It happens sometimes. |
| woah. I thought I was the only one having trouble yesterday. I thought it was only my connection or my PC. I did try to restart it and same thing, MAL was SO slow. Oddly, I used Internet Explorer as a web browser. Nothing happens. It was still taking more than 1 or 5 mins to load. |
 |
| I have had bad loading times for maybe a month now. High ping and usually it takes almost a minute to load/refresh pages on MAL.. Still no updates on this? It can´t be only me, everything else works up to speed... |
| Install adblock. If that doesn't help, use proxy (like Hotspot Shield or TunnelBear). If that still doesn't help, try different browser/device/network if it's available for you, or post here |

| myanimelist.net - Access Denied Error code 4 The request could not be fully read wtf is this I get this nonstop right now whenever I try to load ANY page on MAL. Or if not it never finishes loading. Took me about 10 minutes of constant refreshing to load the support forum and then this thread. I usually get it a couple of times a day but today it makes MAL completely unusable. Any other site works perfectly fine as always... |
