rearadmiral All-Star Member 6551 Posts 12/11	Posted - Aug 3 2026 : 9:28AM Am I mis-remembering that when using the "check scene pairings" tab on a model's page that it used to identify movies and/or scenes where those people were in the same movie though they may not have performed together in a scene in that movie. For example, I recall that if I had a movie with Sasha Grey in one scene and Brian Sherwood in another that IAFD would kick that forward as a pairing. The reason I ask is that I've been cataloguing my Max Hardcore collection and there seems to be some big gaps at IAFD. It appears that the "check scene pairings" tab may now only list scenes where the performers were together in a scene. Am I right or wrong on this? Now for the complaint, and yes, I know that IAFD is free and is an excellent database and I shouldn't whine about this, but does anyone else find it slow or just not working a lot these days? I can search for a model or title and sometimes it's fast but other times it is painfully slow and will even time out occasionally. It's like the server is powered by a gerbil in a wheel. I just posted a question looking for model/movie IDs and I might be able to ID it myself if IAFD was working today, but clicking on a model or link means seeing the blue wheel spin for two or three minutes.

Drew Black broken crankshaft 8028 Posts 9/99	Posted - Aug 3 2026 : 9:50AM While I'm not affiliated with IAFD I know the people that run it and they are up against the same bot/automated traffic problems that I've been fighting for the past 8 months. Automated traffic accounts for more than 50% of all internet traffic these days. But it's much worse when the site is a resource or database. It's unfortunately too easy for people to setup content scrapers behind distributed residential proxy networks and overwhelm a site's resources. With the prevalence of AI agents someone with zero programming or internet skills can easily launch a custom content scraper. The impact is especially troublesome for sites that happen to use older webserver tech like ADT and IAFD. I can't say for sure that's what's happening at IAFD but it's been a huge problem for me with trying to keep ADT stable. [Link]

Drew Black broken crankshaft 8028 Posts 9/99	Posted - Aug 3 2026 : 1:47PM To provide a little perspective, a normal server load on ADT is between 25 and 50 page requests per second for www.adt +forum.adt. When the distributed bot networks show up that easily jumps to 500+. The key word is "distributed". They make their requests from hundreds of different IP addresses in quick succession so typical rate limiting efforts fail. These requests are often spread across several different ISPs as well. Mitigation is difficult because the abuse isn't restricted to a single IP or group of IP addresses. Mitigation needs to be based on behavior; detecting request patterns that are not like a typical user. It's not easy. The best bot networks emulate real users fairly well. [Link]

It appears that the "check scene pairings" tab may now only list scenes where the performers were together in a scene. Click to expand You're conflating two different features. "Check Scene Pairings" tab just shows everyone who appears in a scene alongside a given performer. What you're remembering is "Credited With" which is a tab above, near the filter. In that box, typing in a performer will give you results back where they're have scenes together, or also where they're just in the cast together (which covers instances where we don't have any scene data for a given title) Now for the complaint, and yes, I know that IAFD is free and is an excellent database and I shouldn't whine about this, but does anyone else find it slow or just not working a lot these days? I can search for a model or title and sometimes it's fast but other times it is painfully slow and will even time out occasionally. It's like the server is powered by a gerbil in a wheel. Click to expand Things have stabilized in the past week or so. We made some infrastructure changes to help mitigate these spikes in traffic and server load. Where the site would be unavailable due to memory pressure or other issues, we haven't experienced this since we put the changes in place, so we're hoping we've turned a corner... [Link]
