Not sure what's going on today but the forum is incredibly slow, took 2 minutes to load and another minute or so to log in

Yeah, I thought I could downgrade the server to a 1-core webserver again, but I will rollback that change now. [edit] done.

Hehe, so here's the thing... I installed Anubis to protect this forum from bots. And what Anubis does is check the ip address of the user. If it's OK, it lets you pass, otherwise you won't get in. So far so good. But.. what Anubis does is forward you to the forum with a universal ip address. And that ip-address was flagged as suspicious by phpbb. So everybody got banned all of the sudden. I've configured Anubis that this won't happen again.
