Title: Connection issues
Post by: Grape Ape on January 16, 2025, 07:44:24 AM
Anyone else getting them?

Site has been slow for me last couple days, but I recently changed internet service providers, so could be on my end.

Getting it really bad here. Just took literally over 30 seconds to log in and respond to this. Every page refresh is around 10 seconds minimum.

Tons of times this morning,but none at all yesterday.

It`s a pain in the ass.

Post by: BB on January 16, 2025, 08:15:16 AM
Yeah, maybe the last week or so. A decent amount of hanging pages, a couple which lead to double posts, etc.... It's spotty, sometimes it runs great, other times it's a pain.

Odd, now it's flying.

We have just proven the power of collective bargaining.

Let this be a warning to the board "administrators".

It started with one man speaking out.

Then an army of our iron brothers joined in.

It became unstoppable.

Those in charge had no choice but to bend.

The Users Online has gone absolutely ballistic the last few days (doubt they are all real people) to literally unprecedented levels by some margin

15k currently when normal is about 1-3k, and only very very rarely above 5k

This may be a factor

Yes, I have noticed this too. It might have something to do with the fires in Los Angeles County. Doesn't Ron live in Woodland Hills, CA? Logging on to Getbig seems okay it is just when you go to the boards - forum that it slows down.

Which means we are under attack.
I had some guy in SE Asia I pissed off and he was relentless going after my website.

Could be something political here maybe.

This is probably the case.

While awards are not technically due until the last week of the first month, there are rumors The Committee™ is delayed due to having to sift through the incessant flow of redundant horseshit to find last year's gems.
