Question Sloooooow....

[Art Andrews]

hey! we're back!

We are technically back, but we are still running exceedingly slow. Been working on it for more than 24 hours at this point. Please continue to bear with us.

Thanks for the update! Yeah, database errors here too :/

And sorry you are having such a hard time with the host :/ Anything we can do to help?

 

[ralphee]

At this point, it is so bad that we are rebuilding the entire DB server.

We need to buy some caffeine for the hamsters that this new host uses to power things lol

 

[Lifeburn]

Site has been really slow for me also, I was just thinking it had something to do with 1,500 members being online at the same time.

 

[curlyhairedboy]

woo, looks like we're back! thanks for all the hard work :thumbsup

 

[Wes R]

It just came back after a while and it's going pretty fast now, mind you there's only like 4 of us on at the moment lol

 

[Trooper_trent]

same here. For a while there, I was getting a time out and a "are you sure you want to leave this page" every time I posted in a thread. I can see how that would cause double posts if people think it didn't post the first time.

Thank god, we thought the site crashing because of our computer...although this has been the only site giving us trouble loading. We got the data base error several times too.

Been trying to get on for last 8hrs fro the UK with no joy.

In the mean time, my submission for a new RPF shirt:

Yes, we are back... again... kinda. We have been working for three days straight on this issue. Today we completely rebuilt our db server and moved to a totally new virtual drive. Such a freakin' nightmare. I am about ready to resurrect the Wolverines and have them march on our hosting company...

As long as my profile doesn't get nuked again...

Only if there is a new T-shirt run.

Same here to the above. I figured it was just server problems at first, however the last time I saw the database error message for a day was during the hack; so I was a bit concerned.

So who's the company so we know who to make voodoo dolls of?

It happens when NSA makes a backup of this site...
