Server Speed Feedback Needed

Well they have said manytimes they are working on it. There is also those attacks on here too. I am confident that everything will work out in due time. They have a very competent team here. They work long hours on these problems. I also heard from kzap (I think) that they are getting another server to help out...that takes time too....

I've stated this numerous times, large sites do not have bandwidth concerns. We have unlimited bandwidth. And all sites have maintenance, problems and deal with issues continually. I'll just repeat myself here, but GWOnline was inaccessible for 3 days last week and is smaller than us, GuildWiki had to get a new server because of their server load problems and they are smaller then us, I frequently see database errors on GW OGaming at nights and they are smaller then us, and we have problems too.

Yes I know a DDOS attack when I see it. And we have been working on it. If anyone knows anything about servers, it's not as simple sometimes as just banning an IP to stop it. We are working on the load problems continually, I have referenced this everywhere. As I have updates I give them.

Just post some names....

...we'll send the boys round

I can sometimes not even load this page, i get that can not display error, or with firefox its says it cant find it

anyone else have this problem?

capblueberry, what time did this happen? Please list the time and timezone and date so we can check the logs to see what was happening at that time. it shouldnt be happening constantly.

Well this morning (2-26-06 6:45am aprox) it was a tad slow on the clicking of a post. Nothing to bad...

kzap, I noticed you took down the names of users in a forum again. That was causing problems? Or, are you just "trying" something out?

trying out since it had problems at peak time with it on

That's what I figured! Understandable....sadly so.

yeh keeps happening to me.

Just wondering if tabbed browsing of 3 tabs (one for each section of the forum) adds to server load.

I am sure most firefox, IE beta, and opera users use between 2-3 tabs.

Anyhow, if it is detrimental I will stop doing it and just use one tab.

Read this: http://grc.com/dos/grcdos.htm and then you'll probably stop asking why we have trouble with DOS attacks. Credit to Loviatar for pointing it out in Q&A first.

no, but hammering the reload button does

Its happening to a few ppl. Yeah I figured out how to delete it. Mine doubles up if I preview.

If you don't sit there and click your "submit" button a thousand and one times it shouldn't really be a problem even with lag you might get. Definately good bits on the rest of it though, don't post another one asking for it to be removed, you guys can remove your own posts and doing so is definately the fastest, easiest, and most sensible way of getting a double post removed.

Worst case I remember thus far is a person who posted SEVEN copies of his thread in riverside, over about 3 seconds.
But yes, I always wonder about this. Even before the 'quick edit' [and the heavy lag days] feature came on to the Guru forums, people would edit their post to say, "Whoops. Doubleposted", or triplepost to remark about their doublepost. The sheer lack of commonsense astounds me at times.

Am I the only one who hasn't been having problems with the site?

It's as fast as ever.

probably the time you're on theres no load.

(God, it's playing up again as I write this)

Anyway, it's not because of user load, it's because of DDOS attacks from some moron who's upset he got banned.
