Nothing you can do about it. It's probably being DDOS'd or it's just a shitty VPS

This actually tends to happen when VR's caching server craps out on occasion.

Happens with me almost everyday..Retrying 3-4 times loads the forum..

Are you sure? Do you think this is the right website to host on a VPS!? VPS are for small websites, its not a very good idea to host this forum. Anyways you luckily have cloudflare otherwise you were bound to be doomed

Then where is it supposed to be hosted? I'm pretty sure this forum doesn't even hit 100 users per day, so a VPS (from a good provider ofc) is suitable enough to hold vc-mp's forum traffic..

A funny chat on this:

<Kirollos>[08:26:58] wtf
<Kirollos>[08:27:03] where is the forum supposed to be hosted then
<SLC>[08:31:28] a dedicated server with 512GB DDR4 ECC, 4x Xeon 24 cores 48 threads @4.0 Ghz, 128TB SSD RAID storage and 4x 10 Gbit/s network connections
<SLC>[08:32:12] how quick did people forget that we used to host stuff on shared web-hosting and cheap ones for that matter


[EK.IceFlake]

Don't make me crave for that dedicated server pl0x

[KAKAN]

Ok, from some days, this is not happening, good( probably DDoS'r left VCMP :p ). It was not happening before too

Lol. You clearly don't know what you're talking about.
If you really believe every site that has more then ~100k page views a month is gonna need a big fat dedicated machine you're wrong
Without cloudflare this forum would've easily be hosted on a small VPS with 2GB of ram and 2 cores.

The VU forum has around 280k pageviews a month and while it's on a dedicated server now, it isn't giving a load of more then 0.15 on average.
You over estimate the amount of resources you need for a website

This forum is just using cloudflare to mask the real IP so bad people don't DDoS is so easily.

[EK.IceFlake]

If someone has capability to DDoS it, they have the capability to brute force its IP too
Especially considering we know your forum is hosted on an OVH server which drastically reduces the IPs we need to search through
