|
|
Is this board constantly under attack? It seems like every other post I try to make -- at almost any time of the day or night lately -- is taking forever, or timing-out. I even get the old phpbb error message sometimes.
Is there anything we as users of this board can do to solve this problem? It's growing worse. |

There really isn't anything the user can do to help solve the problem without the cooperation of management.
If they need more money for servers, they can ask users to donate. Software like vBulletin are also much better at managing resources for forums than phpbb. |

It's like Dave runs the whole cafe off an old Pentium III from the 90's through a 14k modem. |

It's a good thing there's more things to life than an internet message board. |

The job board is on a different server entirely. |

Uh, here's an idea: putting ad revenue toward site updates. |

I thought it was a problem with my PC last night. Tried another site and everything loaded fine.
I waited 5 min and then it returned to normal. I think it just has its bad times. If it really is bad for you, Bass, maybe you've got an anti-virus or pop-up blocker that is slowing it down? (pure speculation) I had problems with some sites before that I attributed to an overactive pop-up blocker.
Good luck. If it doesn't work the first time, have a breather and come back later. |

This free download might help speed up your computer a bit. It is a bit like giving your computer a laxative - it gets rid of all the shit - hence the name!
It is really good! |
