Forum is crawling again

It took 17 seconds to load this topic. Other sites work fine. I'm using Firefox's latest version.

Need to check the DE4 channel bank, I think we're running off a single DS0 right now. Might need to reset the other cards or reboot the whole shelf.

17 seconds is fast...MUCH faster than I'm getting. Some threads are taking 3-4 minutes to open...Oh the Huge Manatee!

 

[Thump553]

Extremely slow for me for the last five hours or so. Gotten so I will click on a thread, switch over a nonbrowser game or other app, come back to check later to see if it loaded yet.

Official Update:

Earlier today we discovered that two of the three hamsters that power the AT Forum servers had chewed their own legs off and bled out after being briefly exposed to some ATPN content.

We're sad to see Superfly and Commander Cankles pass on to the great hamsterwheel in the sky, they will be missed.

We're currently in the process of investigating the thought of forming a committee to consider the possibility of replacing one of these two hamsters as their positions had not been budgeted for.

I'm glad to see SOMEONE made the executive decision to send a gofer to the pet store for replacements. Things seem to be running much better...for now.

Annnnd crawling again.

 

[igor_kavinski]

Nah, a turtle crawls faster than this. The forum is trickling. Like damn coal tar.

 

[Ajay]

Bleh. One moment its slow, the next it's a 30+ second wait for a page to come up.

 

[Ajay]

Oh, and now a 504. Bleh.

 

[daveybrat]

This is just brutal. I either wait almost a minute for a page to load or just get the dreaded 504 Gateway Time-out

 

[Captante]

PM's are also completely failing to load..... at least it's not just me!

 

[Lost_in_the_HTTP]

Something unfortunate is happening that's for sure!

Several PM's and one of several posts I made earlier (glacially slowly) are now MIA.

Speed is mostly back to normal though.

That indicates a backup restore, folks!

Spill the beans, admins! Which cheap HDD failed the RAID array?

When did Elon buy up the place?

Why? Is something bursting into flames, like spaceX or Tesla?
