Well it's going SERIOUSLY slow for me at the moment, but is actually doing things... Just taking forever.

Same.

[niracka]

Same here it just seems to stop and i cannot even load a page but the static page always loads ok. This keeps happening to me and i end up having to leave it for an hour to start working again.

It just froze for about 20-30 minutes, I don't know if all our feedback and info is being processed and acted upon though

[Ollybee]

It just froze up again for ten minutes or so. This is becoming really annoying, it's happening everyday and seems to be getting more frequent.

2325hrs, "HTTP 500 Internal Server Error".

bout 5 mins to post this reply

thought for a while this was just me

glad to see the rest of you also suffering

[Ollybee]

So far I've had it lock up four times tonight.

[Smo]

It's gone slow on me a few times today and started saying "Page cannot be displayed" or something to that effect, which it doesn't normally do for myself...

[Ghost]

I am very dedicated to this site, and always will be. But this is turning me away to the outside daylight because of the slow/absent loading.

just locked me out for 5 minutes again

[Smo]

That big bright yellow thing burning your eyes... It's the sun


(Or lack of...)

[j7aoc]

just took about 10mins to get on here

[Dkmode]

I dont have a problem logging on sometimes. But other times the site doesnt even respond and i get a blank page. Static page loaded instantly

[dontpannic]

logged me off at about 21:45 then was unresponsive from 21:50 until about now... that was me, smo, and hb69 all had that then

[Oranoco]

Mines been really slow for a while but seems to have sped back up again. The link loaded straight away though no messing

[dontpannic]

Is Ade any closer to determining what the problem is?

[Smo]

I think 9 times out of 10 the last day or so, it's been slow... Probably just me being unlucky, but thought I'd mention it.

[Ollie]

Happens to me practically everyday.

Sometimes I'll click on submit and it'll take a good 2 to 3 minutes before the post is made or the page times out. Same when changing between forums. Other times, like now, it'll be much faster.

Dunno if the static page is ok or not... I keep forgetting to bookmark it and obviously when the forum dies I can't get to this post to check...

[SimonT]

slwoer than passionford at the mo

[j7aoc]

Slow as hell and it's not updating the newist post on the main forum index if that make's sense

[heeman10]

Keeps on and on slowing to a halt with me too.

[heeman10]

It is now logging me out over and over each day.

[Ollybee]

Yep. Four times yesterday for me.

[jayrs]

running slow as $hit, getting to be a joke now

[Smo]

[Tanya]

Its really pi$$ing me off now, you cant do naff all

[jayrs]

agreed.
can nothing be done to speed things up again?

[Ollybee]

It's getting to be an absolute joke. I was on for about half an hour on Friday night and got logged out eight times!

[Fezzy Turbo]

Yeah its still slow for me, or it doesnt even load! I thought it was my PC but its the same when i use my work laptop.

[heeman10]

Whole forum pretty much died yesterday, and it's logging me out over and over.

Ade's said the server's being overloaded now, which is the issue.

[Tanya]

i never get logged out, it just post about 7 of whatever you write, one minute it'll work fine, the next it will die for about 15 mins

[jayrs]

about time the server was changed if thats the problem

[heeman10]

Yes, well observed. Are you an IT engineer? Potato time!

The problem is, Ade's still paying to keep this site alive. He doesn't use it, and doesn't hold the Fiesta passion anymore, so understandably doesn't feel like forking out for a bigger, better server to keep us lot going.

no, not a it engineer, just giving my point, no need to jump on it.

from what i under stood it didnt cost adrian fock all anymore due to money he makes from advitisment on the site etc, for all i know he might make a bit, then again i could be wrong alround.

but yeah ok his lost the fiesta passion, no need to let a well known good site (and there aint many!) go to toss, why not sell it on to someone who is willing to put the time into it like he used to.
how about you mr heeman, with that post count you cant say you wouldnt wanna run the site

oh, no lumps in the mash this time please

[heeman10]

I wasn't jumping on it, I actually thought you were joking!

A number of us have been discussing the state of the site for a couple of months now, with some input from Ade. As I said above, he's still having to pay to run the site, which, when he doesn't use it or have much interest in it anymore, is not what he wants. So he certainly doesn't feel like splashing out on a speedy new server for us all to enjoy, specially when he fairly recently moved into his own place.

It's all still being chomped over, but a few of us have been trying for a while to resolve all these issues. The problem is that Ade's busy, hard to get hold of, doesn't need to keep this place running, but is understandably reluctant to let someone else take control of this kingdom he started!
