GW guru runs slow for me
Ruranbowmaster
this site runs really slow for me,it takes up to 5 minutes to load a page sometimes, and i usually have a lightning fast connection. is it my internet, or the site?

It runes slow for me to just like you said and sometimes I get timed out.It is because there are a lot of ppl on the site at the peak time of day and I am not sure of the bandwidth.It seems to me the vb as apposed to bb board run a little slow in FireFox if that is what you are using.There is Forum about the site as well at the bottom.

I've never had it run that slow - but in comparision to other sites it is a little slower.

Like treacle today, taking 5 mins or so to open a page and I also have a damn quick line too. If it isn't taking ages to open then it's either timing out or throwing up the old .php box

Of course things are being done! We don't have a big backer like Incgamers, IGN, etc. to help us with server costs. We rely on advertising and on our subscriber fees to help get a new server. A new dedicated server is expensive, something we are working toward. I can tell you I have had many, many, many, too many conversations with our network owner and server admin to try to improve and see what we can do. We need a new server and that is something that we are very much working toward, but it's thousands of dollars for a quality one where we won't soon run into the same problems again. We've had numerous discussions and while I don't want to get anyone's hopes up (because I believe that's even more frustrating) we are closer then ever and I'm being told soon and that hopefully this will make up for the excessively long wait.
So while I can't give an ETA or provide more information then that, I continually see this thread. Acknowledge and try to let you all know that I understand the frustration, and am and have been in discussions for quite some time over the server speed.

yep, guru is one of the slowest sites I have ever visited....some days it runs pretty quickly (like a minute to load pages), other days 10 minutes to just get the white page of death....but thats normal for guru in my experience with it. (today it took over 1/2 hour to finally get one page to load, and no my dsl line is just fine on every other single site I visit...it is guru).
not much we can do about it, I usually do other things while surfing guru, make dinner, eat breakfast, take a shower, dry my hair, watch tv, answer the phone or door....I have learned that this site makes my mom-in-laws dial up on everyother site look super fast!

I just noticed there was 1.8k people viewing Guru after reading this thread. That's alot of people, cgz to guru for being so popular! I mean that's like one mmorpg's game server almost. I guess all those people are causing the lag. I think some real advertising would help, not just advertises for Zwinky or some dumpy mmo. Like real game advertising from game companies.

they really do need a new server setup. its always slow for me too and downright impossible during high traffic times of the day. i really like guru better than the other elite gw sites.

I just open a bunch in batch then I go afk for an hour.

the past couple of days the site has been running quite a bit faster than usual...normally it takes like a minute for me to load pages...now they are coming up with minimal delay...no more than 10-15 seconds or so.
If there's been any recent changes...they worked. Nice job.
