Good question, Jakbird. Rather than try to link every story I've read lately that overuses this expression, or forward the links of Facebook, Instagram, and other social media site reels and videos using the expression, I recommend a Google search on the terms [ good boy femdom -video ] Searching with Duck Duck Go reveals similar results. I did learn that the expression "Good boy" and to a lesser extent "Good girl" is associated with something called a praise kink.

Hope this helps,
Eido

I've read this post several times, and it still leaves me scratching my head.  Of course, any dog owner has used the phrase for ages, perhaps as far back as ancient Rome.  I've never encountered it in a story, so maybe your exposure is unique.  Could you add some context?  Frankly, I have no idea what you're referring to or the point you're trying to make.

An 18 year old homeless girl lived alone in an abandoned school none had gone into for 60 years. An 18 year old homeless girl lived alone in an abandoned school none had gone into for 60 years and one day ahd the girl been going back to the school with an shiny, yellow, printed and round balloon she got at an crowded opening party for an shop. The sleepy girl was from 2.30AM until 6.30AM non stop brushing the squealing, shiny, poop stinky, poop covered, yellow, printed and round balloon in her stinky doodoo that laid on the floor in an dark, quiet, dust and mold smelly school room. The sleepy girl was from 22.30PM until 1.30AM and again from 4.30AM until 8.00AM the next week non stop brushing the squealing, shiny, poop stinky, poop covered, yellow, printed and round balloon in her stinky semen and doodoo that laid on the floor in an dark, quiet, dust and mold smelly restroom.

Thanks for your efforts and the info.

I'm curious to see what solution you can come up with - maybe some kind of rate limit per IP?

In my subjective opinion, the problem is not as frequent at the moment as it was at the beginning?

Right, so to give folks an update, I've been digging in various ways to diagnose the underlying issue. That will have increased the flakiness of the site a little but there's no denying that there are big swathes of time where it's effectively offline anyway so it's probably not noticeably worse for me breaking it here and there for 5-10m at a time.

For those who don't care about the technical aspects, the tl;dr is that the part of the server that handles the forum, searching, and the index pages, is going into a broken state for hours at a time, usually around early afternoon, UTC. Because of the way the site is set up, the index pages and most of the recent stories will still seem perfectly accessible, that's a deliberate design choice and it makes us seem more robust than we are. But you can't do that with the forum or search functionality, so it's there we're obviously offline. It's not a simple broken site, nor is it something we've recently changed. To stop it from happening, without just throwing money at the problem, I first need to understand the root cause, and that is taking some time.

For a more technical perspective: it looks for all the world like this is fundamentally a capacity issue, once the server reaches a certain level of load, instead of just responding more slowly, it tips over into a state where every request times out and gives an error, and only recovers once load goes away to almost nothing. My theory is that is happening more regularly now because we're being hit with a lot more traffic these days, and that the point in the day where it tips over is when we start to get busy.

I don't want to simply throw more power at the problem because a) that costs more, and b) I don't believe that the increased load is actually more people visiting. A large number of the requests appear to be from bots of various flavours, though it is impossible for me to tell if that proportion has been growing over time. But I am pretty sure that there aren't hundreds of real people making requests every second, which is what the logs suggest at peak times, just like I'm sure that we don't suddenly have a massive following in Iraq.

Instead I am focusing on correcting the behaviour of the server so that it slows down rather than tipping over, and I am looking into how effective blocking some of the bots might be. If it turns out this is just what it's going to be like running a Simple Machines Forum site, and it's constantly under attack by bots sniffing for weaknesses, then I may have to separate out the forum from the site functionality and just let it degrade while it's under attack. As much as the authors enjoy getting feedback, I don't want the costs of running the site to end up dominated by the costs of running the forum.
