44 users, load average: 14.17, 15.58, 15.85
i've been seeing loads like this - and much higher - a whoe lot
more frequenstly. once a month doesn't seem too far out of line , but
5 times a day certainnly does.
i email staff with the load average int he subject line as an fyi-of-the-moment
in case someone is semi-watching and/or do document the time/date.
is grex flodded with serious cpu users doing nifty things, or hordes
of mongols trying crash-tricks, or ... other?

Rest assured that staff is aware of the load averages.

(there also have been a number of excessive mailings, both on- and offsite,
of which TS may not be aware.)

Eric Bassey (other) requested more info on the load averages, and since
it's all basically a stupid situation there's no reason not to explain what's
going on:
The CPU stuff is pretty much unavoidable; basically somebody was using Grex
either to serve some p2p files or something else which caused a lot of random
people to try to connect. We're still getting a lot of failed connections
to an account which has been locked for several days as a result, and it
takes a bit of CPU to deal with each attempted to connection.
Basically we just have to wait this one out, and it has been gradually dying
off as expected.

I've been able to send mail back and forth between Grex and M-Net. Is
there really a block in place? I have all my mail forwarded to M-Net
and have exchanged e-mails with keesan over the last couple of days.
I would hope the mail capability would be restored soon, if it hasn't
been already. I understand how annoying the trash in the e-mail has
been, but the mail connection is important to some of us.
