Website Still Quite Slow, Please Fix It Once and For All, Ian - New England Patriots Forums

Brady'sButtBoy · 11-27-2006, 09:44 AM

It's getting to be a drag to come this board. I'm all fired up about the game and it takes almost a minute just to get the forum to open, another minute to open a thread, another minute plus to get a reply page, and two minutes for the reply to post then a more waiting going back to main page to look at other posts. I appreciate the work Ian has been doing but the slowness is taking the fun out this site.

Other than the occasional lockups, the original server was at least faster than the snails pace I'm getting today and most of last week. yesterday the site was faster at times, I'll admit, but the incosistency seems needless given the ample number of quality servers now on the web.

It's still quite slow for me, which I'm bummed about since I was so looking forward to the new server..

I've been posting more at Patriots Planet simply for the quicker load time.

There are great groups of posters at both boards, but the long load times here are starting to gravitate me away. It's kind of depressing.

We're right back to click and wait and wait. There was athread about this yesterday but, it looks like it was removed.

All for a few seconds. Gee, what loyalty. I certainly wouldnt want you in a foxhole next to me , in battle.

Coming from the man who has sent this board on the verge of civil war on more than one occasion? Give me a break, if you cared about this board as much as you claim, you would quit starting political threads on the football board.

Well, something happened because now the site is running faster but the inconsistency is beguiling! Maybe we've gone to the faster mode permenantly.

I'm in favor of purging the message database so it will run a lot faster. There is no sense keeping thousands of old posts that no one will ever read.

NEM he's got a valid point, it's frustrating to sit here and wait.....and wait....and wait. I don't blame him for being frustrated. This is really starting to get to me, and I had better get the answers I'm looking for shortly. This is getting real old, especially considering the fact we're on a dedicated server and this is still crawling. We're on the most expensive server they offered (with the biggest company online that as much as I'd like to I won't mention) with a Pentium 3 and 2G of RAM. This shouldn't be this way.

Thanks for your hard work, Ian.

I can't believe people would whine like this about a free service while you're working your butt off, but i guess it's the same "fans" that complain about players with 2 or 3 injured limbs while they reach for that next handful of chips.

That company doesn't begin with "V" does it?
