Why doesnt Ron dip his hand in his pocket, or get an SMS donation facility added to the site?
It really is taking the piss now.
No excuses Ron, its a fucking shambles.
I will be returning to MD if this issue is not rectified upon the morrow, really!

Enjoy yourself at MD, CF. Bandwidth and server spaces costs money. The more popular getbig is, the slower it will go. Unless Ron sells advertising or charges for membership or finds a generous benefactor to foot the bill for upgrades, this is the best you are gonna get.

Last time I checked:
1) Getbig is the largest bodybuilding board in the world
2) It's free
So until you dip your hand into your own pocket and donate some money for bandiwdth:
3) Shut the fuck up

So, Stephen Hawking, did the part about 'adding an SMS donation facility to the site' go over your head?

Ron is a great guy and serves a positive force in the "industry." What he needs now is equipment that doesn't ask the users to "Hang tight" quite so often.

ill chip in im very wealthy and love this website

The problem isnt the server, it is that I may need TWO servers to handle the traffic of the boards and other things. I am looking into various options.

Sounds great. Don't forget Bluto, though. He might be part of the problem as well.
-
of course you gonna need two servers if you gonna run a pornsite and not a bodybuilding site.

It's always the same, the server is too slow.
-
yea very annoying,,,,whats up with that
-

The poor server is overloaded! For example, do we need 606 pages of old messages on the main G&O board? Probably not. We could probably do without 500 of those 606 pages.
-
The oldest thread on G&O has been dormant since Christmas Eve 2005.
Perhaps removing inactive threads after so long is something to consider.
Even a three-year limit would be beneficial.
-
no way
there's a lot of good threads from back in teh day,. i suggest you bump them rather than delete them! this way we dont need to make new threads!
-
I say bring back the older posts ;D
-

No offense, but this is the year 2008. It would be a shame if threads would have to be deleted just because the server is too slow. I don't think that the amount of data is the real problem, it's probably just the amount of traffic, which either the server or the internet connection can't handle.
-
As I am learning, sometimes there are too many processers with too many max connections, which means either a secondary server to handle databases or figure out something, which I am looking at.

Why is it that in the last couple months this board keeps crashing all the time? It can only possibly either:
1. IP/IFSP protocol problems
2. Not enough bandwidth.
My guess is option number 2. The problem in a nutshell, you see, is cash. Too many noobs have registered here recently - damn, I hate noobs, for more reasons than one! - so the board doesen't have enough bandwidth to keep up with the demand. Ron, like everybody else who's last name isn't Gates or Buffet,, has limited depth to his pockets, so I really think Getbiggers should contribute to te Ron Avidan Bandwidth fund. I have offered Ron to send him mony in the past when this board had similar problems, but he declined. Now, considering the severity and frequancy of the crashes recently, I think Ron should really consider the generous contributions of esteemed board members. This is tax day on Getbig, bitches!

Is AXA truly running various gimmicks, including the one and only "Captain Insano?" :o
If so, that's pathetic that he's been arguing with himself this whole time.. :-\

Agreed.
Bluto = the shit that made the toilet bowl clog, making it impossible to dispatch the rest of the shit.

I've gotten a lot of laughs from GB and thought about paypalling Ron a few bucks, but of course I haven't. If Ron wants to make a thread about it to give out some paypal details then at least that will be out of the way. Who knows, maybe I'd even get around to it.
The "Would you pay to keep posting at getbig" topic was covered awhile ago tho. The concensus was "hell no" and if you had to pay to be on here the place would wither and die within 24 hours.

You hate noobs? What were you, when you first started here? How old are you suckmymuscle?

You hate noobs? What were you, when you first started here?
A noob. But I behaved like a noob, which means that I respected board vets and didn't talk shit to them like many of the recent noobs talk to board vets now.
How old are you suckmymuscle?
29.

What determines if someone is a getbig vet?
How long they have been here or how many posts they have?
-
I thought the MT advertisements were for cash for better hosting/server.....
Part of the problem is, too many idiots here starting threads. Perhaps there should be a limit as to how many a user is allowed to start. Most of the crap posted here is without substance.
Examples:
(insert name here) is an asshole.
so & so ate three ice cream cones.....I'm calling bullshit!
what is your current hairstyle bros?
shud i fuk dis ho tonite an get hi?
You get the idea...most of them have nothing to do with anything of interest. I lkien their worthless posts/threads to people in real life, who talk just to listen to themselves speak. I could have literally linked to some of the garbage, but again, just making a point. It wouldn't be so bad if they were at least entertaining, but all they do is talk shit and flame. They really bring NOTHING to the board.
Another thing, the gimmicks aren't helping. I think that maybe there should also be a "probation" time, for new members. That way we don't have all these "new" tools coming out of nowhere and calling out established members.
New members should not be allowed to start threads, within say, 90 days or so from joining. Again, it would reduce the number of worthless threads we have here significantly.
Just my opinion...

Board was upgraded last night, should run smoother now

With +31000 posts, your world must be small. Getbig-matrix is where you live.

It is either a software problem, or too many processors or users among a few web sites. Also, max users connections and less ram, but trying to figure it out.
Hardbody.com is on the server, and is very strong as of late, soon to be one of the best information of figure and fitness out there.
-
Ha - but I am cleaning some old posts slowly that we dont need anymore here.
-
Ron, just delete all of Bluto's posts and the Truce Thread and all should be good with the server again.
delete that "gayer than" thread too Ron while you're at it :D
