Crawler Delays
by Xxav on September 4, 2009, 5:34 pm, under WoW Crawler
I wanted to let everyone know that we’re aware of the crawler delays and are looking into the matter. Currently, this is about 1200 guilds waiting in the queue that were added by users. I just made a few changes that should prevent guilds from getting stuck in the queue for days. We’ve had some malicious activity on our server the past few days and I’m currently investigating to see if this is related. I want to thank all those who have downloaded the crawler in the past few days. We’re currently reaching over 2000 guilds crawled per hour which is pretty awesome. Once I know more about the huge queue I will post back here.
UPDATE:
A malicious user was queueing tons of guilds over and over. I have since blocked him and have added countermeasures to future attacks.

Sorry for the crawler delays! They should be back to normal shortly!

Pretty sure it’s something malicious…

Thanks..I like this site. Guild crawler is pretty decent tool.. have it running on both computers to help out.
Can y’all run a BC update once a month if it’s not too hard?
Thanks
