It's been faultless over the past 18 hours. Our monitoring continues.

Its been going on for months and months! All since the changes. You mention server and not servers? There is your problem maybe. You need to load balance the traffic. Also the underlaying infrastructure, is it fast and configured correctly?

There's multiple servers in our network which we've been managing for 20 years. I admire your enthusiasm and appreciate you attempting to help.

posted a message to one admin who eventually came back saying 'we don't know what causes the crashing' gives little grounds for hope really

At that point of the day no, as a process of trial and error there's been multiple changes made in order to ascertain the root cause. However we've had a positive discovery late on this afternoon which we're closely monitoring. We will know more once the chat activity builds up later this evening before breaking out the party poppers.

Hi all,

Deepest apologies, we're just as frustrated. We've been keeping tabs on the server after some anomalies kept happening and despite our efforts to increase resources and a few other things to help bring back some stability, regrettably the same issues returned over the weekend and multiple times just earlier today.

We've applied software updates and rebooted the server and the team will continue to monitor.

With the deadline growing increasingly closer, I've split off a separate thread with some poll options just to get a feel on what methods everyone thinks would be preferable (if any) in order to get Age Verified aka the 'porn passport'.

It's been a legislation that they've been delaying for a couple of years now but they've finally confirmed that 15th July is going to be the deadline.  

For those who haven't read into it much or not heard about it yet, it's a new UK law in the Digital Economy Act 2017 which states mandatory age verification controls for all websites showing pornographic content.  The general gist you get is that it's mainly to stop minors 'accidentally' stumbling across porn on the internet.  Rather than control this at ISP level (which would make more sense), they are putting it on each individual website to implement measures.

We are exploring the best ways on how we can implement our age verification controls with everyone's privacy our main priority. 

Joosters sweets and Fuse chocolate bars - what ever happened to those! 

If you could go back in time when you were just starting out in swinging, what advice would you give to yourself?  Should you be doing this?  What are you going to expect?  Are there any situations that you'd wish you could give yourself the heads up about or give any advice to those just thinking about the same thing?
