Forum is extremely slow?
Xenrath
Is anyone else experiencing this? The forum is just behaving tremendously slowly, logging in, browsing posts.. just about everything. I don't think it's my connection because all other sites seem to be working just fine?

Yep can't view auctions or anything, 585 people online 379 of which arn't members lol.
i'm sure it will sort itself out in a while.

I experienced the same thing in the last hour. So it's not you computer.
Everything was slow, it took minutes to even get to the first page.
I'm thinking its a server problem with the site itself. Happens occasionally but I get by by playing Guild Wars to pass the time until the site is usable again.
Maybe if we all turn off our ad blockers this won't happen anymore

Happens to me often. So I leave and come back later.

Well, doing this strictly on the time it was posted... the server stats runs right between 9 - 10:30 am. So that's probably what was happening. Forums are running normal now. You'll see this every day.

Every day? :O
Isn't there a budget for this site to improve all of this? I wouldn't mind an extra banner to fix thing like this to be honost

Server stats, maintenance... it's something that has to occur on a regular basis with all sites. No real way around that, sorry Maxie.

Seems to be back to normal now, ah well will just note the times the server is doing stats stuff then, thanks

Inde....
Is there a schedule to when these maintenance and server stats are performed? It is really driving me nuts to find that a long post I just made is totally GONE because of this Server Error we get. I try to remember to "Cut" the post so I can "Paste" it in case of this happening, but I don't always do that...
Thank you...Inde...we know you are working overtime for our benefit!

No, this time would be because some (insert curse word here) is currently doing a DDOS attack on our server right now.

Are those stat collection times US times? (which part? East coast? West? Middle bit?) It's now 5:11pm GMT and I had the super slow access again at 5:08 a few minutes ago, maybe the dos attack I guess

Not with the way the forum has been for about 2 weeks now.Slow and Slower or no page at all.Maintenance might occur 1 time every week and usually late at night when nobodys on.Sounds like they need to go Dedicated Server.

I've noticed this too...It will get extremely slow and then it says that the site is down. I just assumed it was beacuse there are so many people on the site posting at once...

super super slow...i mean even on wireless connection..people blame excess guests so i dunno. i agree its getting laggy

This thread was from before we had the DDoS attacks and the server crapped out. Since there are at least two other threads here dealing with those issues, closed.
Edit by Inde: A new dedicated server will be coming shortly. There is reference to it in 3 other threads. A homepage announcement will be coming soon.
