FlakMagnet Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 It's probably just me but,since late yesterdy, getting onto this forumhas slowed wwaaayyyy down. It takes over a minuteto get the page to load, and for every other action onetakes on here too.I'm wondering if whatever you did Rob to rid us of the hacks/spam/porn (thank you),might have had some unexpected side-effects.Not making a big deal out of it, but I thought I'd bring it upin case there's a problem.All the best,Flak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grubstake Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 No your right FLAK, it has slowed way down, sometimes it won't even load up until I try two or three times. Slowest I have ever seen it, evryone else loads fast, so its not me or my computor. Grubstake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~LARGO~ Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Yep,Me too!I first thought it was my new high powered computer going south,and was about to have some serious conversations about it,when I realized the other places I haunt weren't having the sameproblem.Probably all the pornsters have made the site goofy.Hope not.~LARGO~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawnie Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Hello Everyone,Sorry about the issues. We believe it was the server that was slowing things up, but it all seems to be okay now and I believe the porn issue has been nipped in the bud.....(no pun intended) Dawnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted January 29, 2007 Admin Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Hello All, Hopefully the forum is loading back to normal speed for all you. For a couple of nights they were doing upgrades to the server, so it took forever to load. I couldn't even get on with high speed internet. If you still have trouble loading the forum, please send me an email at - auplacers@yahoo.comI need to go through and "Prune" (delete) the forum. There is like 3 years worth of posts still on the forum. I'm sure if I elliminate some of the older posts the forum will load quicker for slower internet connections. Talk with you later,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COLORADO BOB Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Hey Rob,It's slower than slow. Believe this is the slowest I have ever saw a site load. Takes all my time just to load the threads.Bob T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotgold Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 It ran real smooooth.... this evening till around 6 PST, and now it's back in the "Dog House".... 2:15 PST Gary-----------------------------------------------------------------Just a thought here Rob. The 'cyber-bots' that attack forums etc. with garbage/spam have been 'retrained' so to speak, to imprint code that may not be recognized at first/second glance by anti-virus software programs because some issues are not reported by the end user that hold subscriptions to their products.If a server gets 'hit' that should say something all by itself!Also, consider the time of day here in the USA when things start slowing down for your members computers and, in what 'time zone' world wide is someone having their 'second cup of coffee'!!! Without doing a full system check it's difficult to tell. There is a lot of hacker interest in "malicious" code imbedment directed to any computer being used on the internet.

Admin nuggethunting Posted January 31, 2007 Admin Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Hello All, This morning I couldn't get on again! Ipower, the hosting service keeps telling me it's on our end. I guess everyone that is having trouble within the last couple of days must install Flash and check your Internet Service. You have to be serious ... where do they get these $10/hour Tech Support Reps? I haven't talked to one that had a freaking clue what he was doing. I think they just read the crap out of a book. "If the customer is having this problem, turn to page 42 and read!" I'm hoping I can get through to 2nd or 3rd level Tech Support here soon. Please continue to post if you're having trouble getting on the forum. I'm using this post as referrence so they can see it's just not me, but a bunch of other people.Take care,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grubstake Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 ROB, tell them dumb ass's that it stands to reason, that if all the other forums and websites load up almost instantly, then it must be the server, that has the problem. I could drink a cup of coffee, and smoke a cig. before it loads. Sometimes it is alittle faster, but not much, Doc's AZO, Bills and a host of others load up very quick.Sooo! it server problems.
