Please post all forum bugs here

we are experiencing some strange behaviour the last day.
seems like someone is hammering requests to us...
resulting in some failsave actions, that sometimes let's the site hang :/
(see the spikes till nearly zero)
That should not happen, but i'm not sure how to mitigate such requests hammering - especially since it's not from one IP


edit
additionally ... sometime in the near future (some month) we have to change the server again - since we are using more and more storage; and i need to consolidate a few things to save money (running akiba isn't cheap - ask chompy, he's responsible for the money.

I did notice a significant increase in spam accounts the last 3 or 4 days, might be badly programmed spam bots making too many requests or might have nothing to do with it if that's only since yesterday the site has been acting up.
