Why is this board so slow?

Post by YourGrandpa »

It takes a long time to connect and a lot of the time you get a connection error or too many users error. It's also constantly screwing up the posting process by taking too long or double posting.

If it's because IGN is choking bandwidth or limiting users, lets rip this place down and host it somewhere else.

Then lets move the forums. Why continue to let IGN make money by users giving this site hits? Doomer has everyone's email address. He could send all of us the site's new address, before this shithole collapses.

No. We'll have a proper host with our own managed forum software with the complete database transferred over.

DooMer already has a new box oon which the thing runs. all we need is to claim a domainname.

I do agree we should start the move even if the q3w site is still up. watch people forget the new url otherwise (peenyuh)

I don't think he actually has a domain yet. Just a server where everything is mirrored. He can probably redirect his existing domain, but I don't think visiting a site with the domain "doomersmidgitporn.com" is work-safe.

Yeah ok, I just thought it was real easy to register some unoffensive domain. For free even.
Something like quake3worldfuckyouign.com or something.
(I know very little about these things.)

If we start the migration now, we'd at least get some free advertising for the new URL.

Too many people like you trying to log on. So stop doing that. =)

Pro tip: Doomer, turn on MySQL connection sharing (look up mysql_pconnect).

I'm pretty sure that's the forum doing its daily backup.
