Anyone else get this sometimes? RLD not loading
News from the front...had another long session with tech support today and what I learned is that they started imposing resource limits on contracts, which I think is somewhat recent. I've had this hosting company for 20 years so I've been grandfathered into many new packages many times over, but of course they don't let you know this. Not unlike your ISP or cable company.
In short, the website is too popular! The traffic load uses up resources and it's hitting the limit, which triggers that seo link page.
Personally, I find it hard to think that our little RLD is hitting the caps, but then again, the caps are artificial and certainly made to get you to upgrade. So I might have to do that. I'm looking into that stuff now and trying to do the math to see what I can continue to afford.
In the meantime, I am going to try and audit the site a bit and see what things I can "turn off" that might save on the hitting those limits but not really impact your experience running around the site. The website is certainly quite old and getting a tune-up is long overdue.
Bottomline, there's a good chance you'll keep seeing the spam page until I figure out what type of upgrade I can afford. I'll be working on that now and hopefully get to a decision this week.
- Membership fee's......? — Dutch_Clutch_Racing
- Maybe a basic free site but membership opens up other sections? I know you hate to do that but..... — Dutch_Clutch_Racing
- Yeah...it might end up there, just need to find a way that offers some benefits without getting in the way. Maybe image hosting limits or something since they are a big part of what's sucking up processing. — redlinederby
I just got the park page consistantly for over 20 clicks, probably could have stayed in limbo forever
I was trying to.
got the page, clicked a catagories link
same page. I toggled between back and fwd (over) 20 times and it always came back to park
refreshed on the fwd (clicked) never gave redline,
it seems the page "locks in" even with it saying redline in the ur window
I backed out 2 x's refreshed, boom back up
until I backed out of the dead link I clicked to the original redirect, I was stuck there, even with refreshes (20+)
I think their parking page is glitchy, and other than the why'd i get this
all other hyperlinks auto redirect to it's self, even though the address is a massive address
IMHO, the parking page is the problem, it has a massive self fulfilling feedback loop in it
just my opinion, FYI i am not any IT, but I am real good at breaking things and trying to fix them...lol

Quick update that I went ahead and upgraded some of my hosting package. Not sure if it will help anything...they claim it will, but I'm not holding my breath. Please keep calling out when you hit the spam page so if nothing else I can tell them their magic upgrade doesn't work, lol
- So far so good this afternoon/evening. — Dutch_Clutch_Racing
- I got it at 10:30 PM clicking the menu link. On an Android phone, if that matters. — Object52
- It was a slightly different shade, more green than the blue I was getting. — Object52
- Oh crap.....I just got it twice. The dreaded dark blue page. — Dutch_Clutch_Racing
Yep.....I got the dreaded blue page a few times tonight.
New issue??? I seem to be unable to put a YT link into a post ------ weird
- Hmm...that's totally different, lol - it could be a different URL format and the site's not turning it into a link. The link should still appear in the post though. — redlinederby
- Yeah, it is not an issue. I just was able to post a YouTube link using my phone. — AbbyNormal
Do you feel you see the link page more frequently, less frequently, or about the same over the last week compared to prior?
I'm just looking to get a pulse of how frequent the spam page is still happening. Honestly, I've hit it maybe once since last weekend. I do think the site feels a little snappier overall but I also know the experience depends on where you are, when you visit, and other factors.
- Less frequently. Haven't got it in a few days now — ManiacMotorsports
- Haven't seen it for a couple three days. — Ruckus_Racing
- So far so good the last couple days. — Dutch_Clutch_Racing
- Awesome. Thanks...keep knocking on wood. — redlinederby
- I actually can't remember if I got it or not. That is a good thing. And yes, it does seem a bit snappier lately. — RacerGnome
- Zero issues for several visits on mobile, Brave browser. Running on all cylinders!! Whoo-HOO, thanks Boss — Chris_Hood

Some hangups today, slow uploading of comments, incomplete loading of the website after more than one try (Chrome browser, AdBlockPlus & MalwareBytes active). I won't even attempt accessing through Brave on the mobile at this point. Thanks for soldiering on in this struggle, Boss!
