Site Performance In General.

[DWall]

Well i wasn't sure what to title this until i saw the last non-sticky thread in this section was called "december performance", well its now April, and performance of the site hasn't improved one bit, every day when i come to try and check the new posts out or ask a question about something i'm stuck staring at the rotating circle of death as the site fails to allocate the proper memory or whatever it's new deal is. Navigating this site right now feels like you are on dial up, pages take 30 seconds to a minute to load, if you can get them to load at all. Bugs are popping up so frequently we can barely keep them reported to you guys. I've been a member here going on 7 years, and it's never performed this poorly, I think some type of explanation as to whats being done about it would be beneficial to the few core community members who keep this site alive, because face it, there aren't nearly as many of us as there were in 2006.

that's my piece.

It's my happening and it freaks me out.

but yeah, it really does make the site hard to use, and I've given up many a post because of it

[DennyCrane]

Should we un-misreable user you two?

[DWall]

I just said whats on everyone elses mind, i'm sure there would be more posts here by now but most people probably gave up trying to load the page, i know it took me awhile.

Yeah I'm on 50mbit and I'll often not bother posting or loading another page because it's too low. I've actually almost made this thread before but it's taken too long to get to the post screen.

I normally just load all the pages I want to read and go get coffee or use the bathroom then come back. They are normally up. Would be nice to see what the big plan is.

[DennyCrane]

Oh, I understand it's a real issue... for me, it comes and goes.

[DWall]

is there like a creme or shampoo we can use to get rid of it? this has never happened to me for so long before.

[DennyCrane]

Well, you should immediately consult a physician if this lasts longer than 4 hours.

[DWall]

so... you're saying if its been 4 months it's probably a lost cause?
