As of 2025-03-23, the ISFDB server continues to experience major performance issues due to continuous bot attacks. We are working on mitigating them, but it's still very much a work in progress. We'll post another update when we know more.
2025-03-24 edit: Disabling anonymous access to the ISFDB Wiki seems to have stopped the bad bots, at least for now. We will continue monitoring the situation.
The ISFDB server will be taken down for maintenance at noon EDT. It may be down for up to an hour while the database is being optimized.
12:30pm edit: The server is back up as of 12:30pm.
As of 11am EDT 2025-03-13, the ISFDB Wiki is effectively unavailable due to a bot attack. Regular database pages can be accessed, but take up to half a minute to load.
2:15pm edit: Performance is still spotty due to ongoing bot issues, but the Wiki should be accessible.
The ISFDB server has been experiencing server problems since 2023-09-12. We are currently investigating the issue.
2023-09-14 update: As of 5am, the server is back to normal. The underlying problem hasn't been addressed, so it's possible that the issue will return later. We are still looking into it.
The ISFDB server will be down for maintenance between 11am and approximately 11:15am.
11:15am: The server is back up. The Wiki's search functionality has been restored.
The ISFDB server will be briefly unavailable due to maintenance starting at 6pm server (Eastern Daylight) time. It should be back up after 5-10 minutes.
Edit: The server is back up as of 6:12pm.
