Second, I thought I’d highlight an issue that seems to appear on the new community hub now and again.
Occasionally http://hub.jmonkeyengine.org/latest.json among others, return a “429 Too Many Requests” status code and the error page is displayed where you can choose to try again or go back. I’m not sure if this is just for me or if others are having the same issue.
This also seems to be the case for other urls as well so it’s not an isolated issue to that specific resource. Looks like there might be some kind of global request limiting going on.
No worries, just thought it was worth a mention in case other users experience issues as well. I realise Discourse makes a lot of requests in the background so if there are 50 users on the site just idling then you will still be getting 50 requests every few seconds. It will of course get even worse if people are active at the same time.
Please report back if you notice any more of this. We did some changes and it appears to have mitigated the problem completely, however we’re still figuring out the exact cause.
