Slow!!!

[yrwyddfa]

This forum is becoming unbearably slow, now, for more times than I care to mention.

What the hell are the people in charge doing about it?

What happens when the hits fall down, and the advertisment revenue falls to nothing?

[wossname]

Same here.

Tell me about it, I could barely get a dig in on Marty. I had to repost 3 times.

To be honest with you I would not place an add here! Not only that the Server is incredibly slow, but most of the day you cannot contact it at all. I need to hit refresh about 10 times before I see a page actually build up. This has been mentioned lots of times before but nothing has changed! Very disappointing!

[yrwyddfa]

Well, I for one, want to know what 'those-in-charge' are going to do about it.

This is a programmer's forum: this is not a good advert, huh

If I produced software this slow I'd be serving burgers and fries in a well-known fast-food restaurant.

Same here, VBF is running very slowly, if at all as I'm often getting broken connections

[yrwyddfa]

It's evidently a network issue, and is currently being 'resolved'

[Valleysboy1978]

I've used that myself many times

[yrwyddfa]

. . .so have I !!!

[Valleysboy1978]

Any ideas as to why the site is so slow lately? It's only been the past few days I've had a problem

[yrwyddfa]

As I said, I've had an email from one of those 'in-charge' people and they are resolving network issues:

A network issue is being addressed. Once resolved, the speed should return.

I wish those days when karl Moore was "in-charge" be back.

[penagate]

The site's fairly quick for me at the moment. Maybe because
a) its still daytime here and most of you guys aren't on
b) I blocked some of the ad servers in my hosts file

I wish those days when karl Moore was "in-charge" be back.

Who's Karl Moore?

[penagate]

I believe Karl was the administrator and owner of VBForums before it was taken over by the current owners JupiterMedia.

[RhinoBull]

Yes, he was.

[yrwyddfa]

I'm frightened to say anything, now. RB has already given me negative reps for a non-programming issue.

[RhinoBull]

Did my comments make sense at least?

[yrwyddfa]

I wasn't angry - I was expressing outrage.

There is a difference. If the asterix upset you then so bet it - but a search for aserix'd out words on this forum returns 1000s of results.

Petty. Nothing more.

[RhinoBull]

I don't really remember what you said nor I need to ... you may however dispute any neg rep and ask admin to remove it - I don't have any problem with that. I also receive neg reps for what I say so hell with it. Big deal.

[yrwyddfa]

yeah . big deal.

[RhinoBull]

I was sarcastic - are you?

[yrwyddfa]

I don't know.
Are you going to dish out a neg rep if I was?

[Valleysboy1978]

Reps are over-rated

[yrwyddfa]

In fact: they're meaningless . . .

[penagate]

So why argue. It gets boring, when you've heard it all before.

[yrwyddfa]

Don't listen to it then?

[Valleysboy1978]

They are good in theory but would prefer an actual rep score than some green gems
