Since a few days, this forum is in the evening always very hard to reach or don’t load cause I get a host error.
Is this may an issue from the aws service?

And you can blame a lot of it on spam accounts trying to flood the forum. When there are allegedly 4,000-15,000 people online over the past 5 minutes, you can bet that at least a couple of them are spammers.

Actually, the "official" crawlers are recognized, like Google Bot, Microsoft, etc. The others... not so much.
Things like:
Users browsing this forum: Bing [Bot], Woodstock and 160 guests
Or, more generally:
Registered users: Baidu [Spider], Bing [Bot], Google [Bot]
But, there are currently just under 2500 "other users" tonight. Probably 20 of them are real.
