or the something awful forums are to fast

[V]

Do you see people paying for the Soldat forums?

id say get more banners inhere.. not to much but just a bit more to get it faster..

and maybe even to setup a new Dnagames server.. ^.^

The forums are just fast enough.

Use firefox, they are fater there

JuiceBox, are the pages/images slow to load?
What "Rendered in " times do you see at the bottom of the page?

Rendered in 0.64 seconds.

thier fine... you 56ker or cable person.. EVIL 56K DEMON!!!
i mean... Rendered in 0.62 seconds so its fine

0.84 seconds. >.> But i'm used to waiting, patience, Juicebox. >O

Rendered in 8.23 seconds from a gigabyte connection.1st page of last post win prize. I repeat you again. ERASE THAT STUPID THREAD. And the one of how do you look like too!

not before you post your picture palloco

har pwnt

Beggers cant be choosers.

You Dont pay,You Dont get your way :)

Why would you want my picture, I could put the photo of any of my friends and you would not notice any difference.

this page sais Rendered in 1.03 seconds.

if thats 1 second.. thats not right.. i waited for more then 60 seconds to view this page..

rendering is counted as how long it took to get the data from the SQL server and build the HTML of the page...anything on top of that is a slow connection....either on the server side or yours.

Bah, yesterday (or was it the day before?), the forums were fine, but now they really are slow. It's not my connection since I have DSL, so it must be the server's problem.

Yeah same here, tomorrow everything was ok, by today I have to wait like a minute for page to load

well this is the Only site i have to wait a long time to view a topic.. and it isnt me..^^

otherwise.. i wouldnt be posting here..

what the [:-censored].

pfff me and my english.....
so anyway i checked something:
I went to the site through soldatforums.dnagames.net and the main page was rendered in 0.88 seconds
I went through soldatforums.com and the page was rendered in 1.88

soldatforums.dnagames.net redirects to soldatforums.com...you should see it change in your browser address bar.

im pretty sure the lag is in the URL mask you are using with soldatforums.com

my rendered in times are under half a second (.34 seconds), but it takes me almost 20 seconds to load a page, it used to take less than 3 seconds before your maintenance the other day. My connection is a university connection, some fiber connection good for a couple gigabits per second.

there is no mask in use. soldatforums.com is hosted on it's own server with it's own copy of the files that are on the dnagames server. But if anyone uses a dnagames link (eg. from a bookmark, or search engine) they get redirected to the correct soldatforums.com page.

I'm begining to think that the new hosts of the forum are throttling download speeds.

before i had dsl (i had 56k) it didn't take much time to upload it

The site is so damn slow. i have a 3000/384 connection and i have to wait 2 minutes for a page to load. And i know the reason. In FireFox i saw that the site sends a lot of cookies out.(no Dt not cookies you eat)

Rendered in 0.42 seconds but transfer is ridiculously slow.

Im actually thinking of changing my homepage because of how slow this is.

this is so slow..

zzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZ

I think Styx gets the point that the forum is slow! Although annoying, we have to live with it for now, I'm sure Styx is trying to find a solution.

He is transfering these forums to hektiksniper forums.

> He is transfering these forums to hektiksniper forums
Is he? Didn't know anything about this. :)

what are the stats on your server styx??

and how come you don't just use what you used to use cuz it was like 100000000 times better except for the onccassional bugs.

I've no idea what the stats are for the new server are: it's a hosting plan that Michal arranged as I've moved onto a new job and left my old employer (who gave me free hosting for whatever I want).

Did they fire you for playing Soldat?

Strangly, no.

are you gonna get a new host soon?

i cant read the forums like this... 30-40 seconds to load a page :/

now its Rendered in 1.19 seconds..... thats not good...

> are you gonna get a new host soon?
That's a question for Michal: he's the one that sourced and is paying for this one. These forums are not cheap to run: 1Gb a day bandwidth and 200Mb SQL data.

The rendering time is the time for the SQL server to pull the data from the datebase. Now it's loading in 0.56 seconds so it was just the SQL server getting hammered at the time that you where viewing the page.

Why paying for forums when there are free options?

Palloco, you try to find a banner free ASP host with free MS-SQL that allows the above usage :)
Seriously let me know.

I mean php

but this forum isn't PHP.

Yep, but why not emigrating to a php one. I do not think anyone would have problems by having to create an account for the new forum, and it would save a lot of money. The problem you are gonna mention is that there is a lot of stuff saved here, people interested in saving it may copy his threads in txt format,save his files and put them in the new forum. Is it really worth paying for something you may freely get?

You have mentioned this a couple of times but moving to PHP is still not an option. Without getting into the M$ vs. *nix discussion, my background is in M$/ASP/MS-SQL so until I need/have to start down the path of *nix/PHP, here we stay. :)

we should be glad we have a forum...
