The whole site is seeming about as slow as it used to be on a busy day before the server was changed. Current time: 11:25 AM. guildwarsGuru time.
Not whining, just trying to help you catch problems right away

Edit: posting is fast, and im not getting database errors. Its just the opening of pages, including the homepage that is really slow

Yeah, I'm seeing it too. Load is fine, could be the ad server. I'll let you know what I find out.

Just to provide additional feedback, as stated right now the server is exceptionally slow (It's about 3:05 EST, and has been like this for at least 1-2 hours). It takes a long time to load any selected thread, click on any link, and pretty much any action. This may have something to do with it, but here's a shot I took showing what the ads look like above.


Hope this helps.

Extremely slow here and has been for the past few hours. All ads are blocked by my firewall; therefore not even downloading or transmitting any data to my computer.

Is the adserver acting up again? I have slow load times across the board, and always with a "Page Cannot Be Displayed" ad.

If you want to avoid the adserver lag issue, just use Opera or FireFox, both of them continue loading the entire page even if that small ad on the top is failing. [while IE simply hangs until adserver responds]


Personally, i use IE for everyday browsing.. but when i see sites that use external ad sources with horrible delayes - i just switch to opera for that particular site.

it's just under IE, and it is the adserver causing the lag in page loads. FF loads fine, as it should, and i'm still loading this same page in an IE browser as I type this message.

All right, I've gone ahead and disable the ad code right now until we can get it fixed. Forums should run faster.

I was getting lots of database errors yesterday and some this morning. It's also very slow loading this morning for me.

An update for everyone, we now have 4 powerhouse servers running the Guru sites, so were working on consilidating them into the best possible setup.

What they need to do is to limit or disable forum viewing for guests. Posting is a member only action and I feel that viewing should be as well. There are over 75,000 registered members for this site alone, so it's not like it would be detrimental to the site's well being, and it would significantly improve the it's performance. It really shouldn't be that dificult to do.

Riplox, that is something we will not do. Browsing the forums is a benefit for the community and I will not force someone to sign up just to view content.
