It's been off and on. Sometimes fast, no problems. But often I can't get a new page, have to cancel and refresh. And then very sluggish. Most of the problem seems to be when the ads are trying to be retrieved.

Of course, I'm using Netscape. But Netscape has been running very well until yesterday in case you did something then. Traceroutes and other sites look ok.

I can now tell you that it's IE too. And the traceroutes are still good. Very sporadic.

Yup it's happening to me too

I had trouble a couple of hours ago but it's a lot better at the moment.

who the hell is this and what's with the name change?

No 'king idea

It's gotdvd?.. check his signature. His dvdtracker gives it away.

Aha... The poster formerly known as gotdvd?, who was formerly known as reliquary, who was formerly known as gotdvd?...

What is this, some kind of record attempt for the most number of screen name changes?

Strange I haven't had any problems and I'm usually the first to have issues??

Today is just horrible for me; it's taking 2-3 minutes to load each thread. Which means I may just go play in the real world for a little while.

Yeah, what he said. It was running great before 9am, now it's slower than grandma in an uphill marathon.

For some reason the load on the server is VERY VERY high today. I am looking in to it.

I did a reboot of the server (which had been up 55 days without a reboot ) but the load jumped right back up when the site came back up. We could have just a boat load of people on the forum today.

what the deally yo? the server is about to die. Did you get it all fixed up with that last downtime?

Server maintaince is a never ending struggle that is never fully complete.

Hang in there, Geoff, and thanks as always!

guess i spoke too soon, it went down again

didnt we have a big clicking campaign a while back to get new equipment? did it fail or was the equipment not good enough?

along the same lines, can you tell us how you get money, as in can we just click the ads on top or do we have to buy also? If its just clicks, if every person in the Other Forum clicked once say every five posts, you'd be a rich man in no time
