Forums loading slowly?

It's getting pretty bad for me recently. Gateway timeouts, 20 second page load times, etc.

About the same here. Server is probably taking too much hammering.

I'm sure that Ramius'll get it sorted when he can. He said something about it requiring some sort of multi-week timeline, from memory.

Yep. I've not abandoned you. Work is in progress on making things better, but our peak times are still pretty bad, for now.

Hooray! Thanks for the update.

What exactly is the cause you had a guess on (if you have the time to explain)?

Thanks for keeping things up to speed Ramius.

too much bandwidth being used up too fast in too short of a a time?

devoir

I doubt it's a bandwidth issue, or if it is, it's one of multiple issues.

I'd guess it's a database bodyslam and possibly a router problem, but I'm not sure exactly what that gateway message means.

It still loads the same as it always has for me.

I still get the slowness. ~20sec page loads, occasional gateway errors.

You already know this, just figured I would chime in.

The hiccup happens to me most in G&T, so I assumed it was just the amount of people loading the same page. I've learned to deal with it.

just in case this wasn't posted before, here's a screenshot from when things get really wonky with the forums:

Henroid

You could've just said what error comes up. I'm pretty sure they know what it looks like and what it means.

Yeah, Henroid, you're totally right. Fuck this helpful bastard, let's get him.

MKR

I have plenty of rope, but someone else will have to bring the torches.

Fuzzy Cumulonimbus Cloud

I would bring the torches but I'm transfixed by my stupid Vista wheel incessantly turning as the page never loads.
PA forums still.

I'm just saying that "I get a 504 Gateway Time-Out error" is the same thing.

The forums seem to now be running slow more and more every day. I hate to say it, but now it seems that there are patches of running at normal speed amidst of an ocean of slow, as opposed to how it was before where you would just occasionally have things run slow.
