 * Is anyone reading this? I need urgent help with Adrotate. It’s ruining my site.
   This is my livelihood. Why am I paying Bluehost if the site just crashes all 
   the time and they don’t offer customer support?

 * I recently had an issue when I updated adrotate. It was continuously requesting
   POST from admin-ajax.php which caused the server my site was hosted on to run
   at 100% CPU and everything became extremely slow.
    I wasn’t able to find a solution,
   all I did was rollback to an earlier version of adrotate where admin-ajax.php
   wasn’t used.

 * Is this problem resolved?
 * After updating to 3.13.4 adrotate plugin, had website (WP 3.8.3) bombed down 
   with endless admin-ajax.php POST requests.
 * action = adrotate_impression
    track = MjAyLDE4LDEsMTA= (random symbols)
 * The same result in WP (4.3.1) localhost test page.

 * So I had to revert back to adrotate 3.9.6
    No reply since.
 * It started with adrotate 3.10.13 (impressiontracker.php) and then “upgraded” 
   to admin-ajax.php DDOS “attacks”.
 * I think that only impressions that actually counts are adverts visible in browser
   viewport.

 * Don’t use dynamic groups if your host can’t cope with the requests (that’s where
   admin-ajax is active) or upgrade to better hosting.
    Thousands of people use 
   the Dynamic feature without issues.
