Minor slow downs when attempting to sign in this morning. Before signing in, the Guest count was 2,334 at about 8:32am. After signing in, the Guest count had increased to over 2,700 at about 8:36am. Took a little less than a minute to transistion from one place to another on the site, including signing in.
After signing in with the Guest count still above 2,700, a quick check indicated 677 of those Guests actions on the site were listed as "Logging in". A random check of several of those "Logging in" Guest IPs continue to show them from scattered locations all over the globe. There were also several from the check that showed from the continental US, but many of those were listed as Data Center service providers.
Current guest count is showing at only 965 and speeds are much better.
Whack-a-mole!!! Blah
