Why is GFY loading so slow from time to time? - GoFuckYourself.com

biskoppen · 05-26-2007, 10:30 AM

I know they're using the best host out there.. and these pages are pretty simple (as in not heavy) so a somewhat simple setup should be able to pull this off easily..

Lensman, how about upgrading those C64's running this place?

GFY is loading great for me

Ragging Rhino · 05-26-2007, 10:40 AM

Loading great for me too.

Shhhh..... dont say that too loud

kidding :P

its off n on for different people man, depends on the plugins youre running and the connection youre running the area of the map youre on....time of day...routers....everything

can even be depending on what thread yorue reading...how many other people are reading it or posting or loading in it.....

It's pretty fast over here now.

BTW dude, is your site (www.vikingthumbs.com) dead?

candyflip · 05-26-2007, 10:49 AM

This site is always slow for me. Not sure why. I post on another VBulletin board that has 10 times the posts and 10 times the posters on at one time and it's NEVER slow.

I love this place like everyone else here, so it's just a matter of dealing with it.

Yeah, we closed it long ago.. too many new projects, so we kinda didn't have the time to take it serious enough

MetaMan · 05-26-2007, 11:24 AM

to me its the slowest site i visit, yet i visit anyway.

i dont see why they just dont upgrade the hardware or switch to a new host that can help them with a set up that can handle the load better?

starpimps · 05-26-2007, 01:22 PM

Right now, yes the board is fast.

But he's right, over the past week I've noticed several periods where the board has again been bogged down to slower than a crawl. I've submitted posts only to be hung up for 2-3 minutes or more at a time, only to end up with a dead page.

Whatever problems they were addressing a few weeks ago (after the 'Dean' incident) are still lingering.

No bitching, no crying. Just stating there's still an intermittent problem. I have no doubt they're aware of it already but if not, there it is.

:D

You nailed it. Sometimes I post a thread and its so slow I say fuck it and close the browser and leave.
No doubt there are many less threads and visitors are staying not as long because of this.

JP513 · 05-26-2007, 03:44 PM

That's why I always have multiple tabs open, each with a different thread. When I reply to one thread, I go to the next tab and let the replied-to thread take its sweet time to load. I can read the other tab while waiting.
