The forums are back!

[Rubycon]

The delay in browsing seems the same if not worse than before.
Other sites, larger than this using VB don't have this issue at all.

 

[boomerang]

It's pretty zippy right now. Arguably quicker than before. Early this AM it was stabbing yourself in the eye horrible.

 

[Jodell88]

The forums just came back for me.

 

[Kadarin]

If you're dissatified with the forums, we'll gladly refund your money. Do note however that customers who receive refunds are considered bad customers and are banned from the forums...

:biggrin:

 

[Dennis Travis]

Right now everything is going slow for me on the forums and on the main site. Large delay before the pages load.

 

[WilliamM2]

Anyone know why they shut down for maintenance every Sunday at 1:00am? Doesn't seem to fix any of the issues...

 

[ThatsABigOne]

Slow as fucking molasses. As WilliamM2 said, why does the forum need to shutdown for some BS 'maintenance'.

 

[Imp]

It's really really fast... It only took me about 30 seconds to load a new page.

I get an error using tapatalk on windows phone.

Backing up to a floppy takes time.

 

[SKORPI0]

mods are giving out free gift certificates for the inconvenience

Got "get out of 5 infractions" passcodes in the email. :sneaky: j/k.
Move to another server took longer, still slow as hell.

8" floppy's, AT is a large website to maintain. :biggrin:

 

[destrekor]

This forum speaks to some terrible system maintenance/management.

I've never seen larger forums, or even smaller forums, that require nightly maintenance downtime. Not only is that apparently insufficient, we then proceed to have entire days offline for "scheduled maintenance"... only to see site performance take significant nosedives which then require even more downtime to resolve.

Cassette tape the only true way to back up.

If this was my IT guy, he would have been looking for new employment long ago. It's beyond embarrassment at this point. My second attempt at posting this sentiment, btw.

 

[Dennis Travis]

Please, not the Commodore DataSet!

 

[02ranger]

I get an error using tapatalk on windows phone.

Me too. It won't take my password for the forum. What's funny is Tapatalk was working perfectly a couple hours ago........

Compressing the data enough to fit on the floppy takes time too.

 

[SKORPI0]

I still have that in a storage bin. The 1541 was a large improvement.

 

[KeithTalent]

Incompetent admins. Daylong downtime is not acceptable.

Hey I did everything I possibly could, which is absolutely nothing since I have no control over any of it.

Complaining about the forums gets the same results as complaining to Xfinity about their customer service, cricket........cricket........cricket......

so why did it take 12hrs longer than expected to get the forum back up?

[BeeBoop]

My phone takes forever to load now.

Because of reasons.
