As many of you may have noticed, MGx has been a bit slow lately. This has been caused by a combination of two things. 1) Sudden surges in traffic that exceed the memory load on the server and 2) deliberate efforts by as yet unknown individuals or groups to overload the server. In the first case, it is exciting to have so many new readers and if it is necessary MGx will purchase more bandwidth and CPU capacity to accommodate them. As for the second cause, well, today we were able to isolate two sources and lo and behold, the worst offender is right here in Coos County.

Now that we know what to look for we can block these attempts before they get out of hand. Thank you for your patience.
