WTF is up with this website?

[o.g.sk8er]

Has anyone else noticed how freakin' long it takes to for any thing to come up since the new changes? Well I have, and it sucks-ass! I have never seen it this slow. It took about five whole minutes before this came up. What's up with that?

Seems like a high server load issue. <sniff sniff> I smell quad Xeon servers...(yes)

Anyone feel like donating a powerful box, like say a rackmount dell P-III or greater server?

For now, I upgraded the RAM. let me know if you find it faster.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot.

By next tuesday we will be on a 10meg fiber link--1 hop from the backbone. *drool*

You know what...it is a pain in the nachos but it's still free...that is why I don't complain...For all the info we get free I don't think anyone should complain...This site rocks!!!!

Having an affordable fast web server: Priceless.

just out of curiosity...what is this site runnin on now??

 

[MP3-Owner]

I notice it being slow during certain times of the day but usaully it is as fast as any other server out there.

BTW...Good news Enry
and if anyone wants a faster server all you have to do is give a little PayPal

 

[enry]

Yeah... we're a little low on cash for now... I'd like to get a proper 2U rack case... say, like this

If anyone has access to PC equipment and is willing to sponsor, we're all ears.

aprrox how much bandwidth does this site use a month? And how many gig's of space are taken on the HD so far?

30 gigs a month and 1/2 gig of storage + logs.

It seems to be running fine on my end...helps maybe I'm at the office with a nice high-speed connection I guess. Keep up the good work Enry!

What the hell is that? Could you please explain to me what this is in potato head language? Or what this means? It seems like there should be a "Yo, yo, dig it. We're groovin' on the tech trip man. Yo yo, peace, I'm out." in there somewhere...

Jargon is not my fortay thank you.

I noticed the slowness, and really didn't bother me at all because I was at work and had nothing better to do than wait for the site to finish loading. I am dedicated to making it through all the threads, regardless of speed on my end or the servers.

10Meg Fiber link:
CrAzY fast connection

1 hop from the backbone:
CrAzY close to an even faster connection

the backbone would be the 'main pipeline' that connects the internet together, in layman's terms.

to sum it up... NO MORE LAG!!!

oh and if you don't get what lag is, either go play Unreal Tournament over dial-up or go here

 

[YellowBaggedP5]

I'm on dsl and everything pops right up, i never have any slowdown, instead of making the site faster everyone should just get dsl.
