Do ye want to start talking again?

Site is pretty much unusable at this stage.

Desperate the last week or so

Presume that’s why the engagement has been so poor leading up to the start of the season

Anyone got a direct contact for Adam if he's not on the forum lately?

**dahamsta** · 03/02/2026, 8:22 AM

Apologies, I've been AFK, I'll have a look at this shortly and I'll try to fix it permanently.

**dahamsta** · 03/02/2026, 3:58 PM

Ok, this was a problem with the host VPS server, seems to be fixed now. I haven't been online a lot the last few months, but I'm around again now, however I don't get to Foot.ie some days so if something goes wonky please email or PM me, I get notifications from those and I'll check it straight away. Soz.

I just want to add that I'm not running ads on the site any more, so I'm not milking it or anything. I just sold my hosting business last year so I'm online less.

**nigel-harps1954** · 03/02/2026, 9:49 PM

Still down a good bit tonight.

**dahamsta** · 04/02/2026, 8:03 AM

Anyone else. I wonder if that could be caching.

**dahamsta** · 04/02/2026, 10:32 AM

No you're right, it was the session problem again. I'm going to fix that permanantly now.

**rebelmusic** · 04/02/2026, 9:05 PM

Sites been down again intermittently all day fyi. Let us know if there's something we can do to help

**pineapple stu** · 04/02/2026, 9:54 PM

Yeah, same here. Same database issues

**osarusan** · 04/02/2026, 10:23 PM

You alright Adam?

You mentioned health issues before...how are you doing?

**dahamsta** · 05/02/2026, 8:57 AM

Bloody bots. I'll adjust the cron job to run more often.

I'm doing ok osarusan, thanks for asking.

**dahamsta** · 05/02/2026, 9:02 AM

I've tried changing the database table for sessions to innodb, hopefully that'll help.

**rebelmusic** · 05/02/2026, 7:26 PM

Thanks lad, seems to be working well today

**dahamsta** · 06/02/2026, 3:29 PM

FYI I'm doing some more general maintenance on the database / site today so it may be a bit slow on occasion. I have upgraded the VPS to try to make it a bit snappier.

**dahamsta** · 06/02/2026, 10:54 PM

I put Cloudflare in front of the site properly. Look at the traffic from Vietnam: https://60.ie/s/4jC75Lni5TqfAer/preview Blocked now, plus China, Russia, Singapore, HK, and AI bots. Instant performance difference.
