Anyone else notice that gearslutz server is slowing WAY down lately?

Clueless · 27th January 2005, 03:39 AM

Nope...I've noticed that there's NFW I can keep up with all the goddamn posts! Please, let's just talk about what I care about.

It has been awfully slow the last couple of days, But it was sort of a sudden slowdown. Jules? Something wrong with the site?

natpub · 27th January 2005, 05:29 AM

Agree, past couple days had serious lag until late into the wee hours, when it finally loosened up

Ive seen this happen on other favorite sites of mine, and we ended up having to start donating to the forum to keep it running, because the cost of dedicated server service gets really expensive and advertizement alone couldnt support it.

I woulnt mind a paypal donation button here, and use this place so much I would definately donate.

on second thought, maybe we all need to buy mugs and t-shirts:-)

I've also noticed that I sometimes get momentary "hangs" where I'll navigate somewhere and the site sits there for a minute or so and then goes to the nest place. Sometimes I need to hit stop on Safari and the re-try the navigation.

I even noticed in the wee hours like 2 am it's very slow. As a matter of fact this post took longer than normal to upload. Thought it wasnt gonna make it.

same here. slower.

Scinx · 27th January 2005, 06:25 PM

I havent noticed anything...

**Jules** · 27th January 2005, 06:39 PM

Yes it does get bogged down from time to time, especially recently, but thats not due to the amount of people on here, more to do with stuff that needs to get upgraded, updated and fine tuned..

We are on to it, your patience is appreciated!

Sometimes I have to wait 5 minnutes before I can upload a post! Was there alot more traffic around here during NAMM?

**Jules** · 27th January 2005, 07:15 PM

No no

It's not to do with the amount of folks visiting, it other web voodoo issues under the hood...

All in the pipeline to get fixed, overall we have a reputation for pretty zippy access...

We want to keep it that way..
