Site and forum slow

Yes, it's slow atm.

 

Was slow at work, and it's slow at home.

 

Yeah, it is my first visit and its seems slow.

 

Yup, I let Rys know yesterday. I think he's just really busy at work atm.

 

I had a look this morning and couldn't see any hamsters stuck in the tubes, but I cleaned the tubes out anyway. Next time anyone experiences slowness, any metrics from in-browser debuggers or the network (traceroutes are good) are very appreciated.

 

I thought Rys was retired? From B3D housekeeping duties I mean.

 

He graciously still runs the site's infrastructure (which we thank him very much for); AlexV controls the content and the site's future endeavors.

And while Rys is no longer our fearless leader , he still talks to us everyday (no exaggeration) and gives advice on everything we do. He's still very much part of the Beyond3D family.

 

Server seems to be having the conniptions again... Getting some truly epicly long response times when trying to view pages or post anything.

If you can find it within your abilities to give said server a gentle nudge in its posterior and tell it to get on with things it would be much appreciated, thank you.

 

Just dropped Rys an email to let him know.

 

Squirrels in the tubes again! Unclogged them, enjoy

 

Thanks!

 

Yeah! Thanks!
(Damn squirrels...)

 

Probably a Glis Glis from Tring.

 

Lol. So that's where the servers reside. I hope Rys was licenced to remove it then ...

 

Hmmm..

seems that they are actually near Washington DC. Might be chipmunks.

 

Thank god Rhys fixed the website at quicker that his usual speed for getting things accomplished
9 months now

 

9 months is absolutely normal for this kind of in-depth, highly technical journalism
