Many Lives Affected

by **Rockindeano** » Sat Apr 05, 2008 7:01 am

MR being offline and inaccessible half the day has no doubt affect hundreds if not thousands of lives. What are cubicle residents like RedJoanne and RWF to do with NO MR? Lula freaked out and actually emailed me, stating the obvious; "I can't PM you." No shit.

You need to get a better provider/server.

by **Ratgirl** » Sat Apr 05, 2008 7:04 am

LOL! Us cubicle residents were forced to go to "other" forums to pass the time. :lol:

Luckily the PM feature was readily available there.

I've offered some assistance...waiting on Andrew to gather some info for me...

Basically my upgrade of memory fixed one small problem, but the root cause still remains. The server is entirely overloaded and I need an upgrade the operating system, plus dal new hard drives and even more memory.

This coud cost me several hundred dollars, which at this point in time, I do not have. I am awaiting a further evaluation, but apologize for the boards and site being offline in the meantime.

Why don't you get rid of all those other shit forums that do nothing but take up space?

Kiss
Deep Purple
Toto
Def Lippard
Survivor
Night Ranger
Danger Danger
Europe..Europe? You have got to be fucking kidding?
Whitesnake
Harem Scarem

All you need is BA, JSS, Styx and this forum.

Thanks folks

The problem is not the need for a new provider, I'm already a stand alone dedicated server, but after 5 or 6 years of constant abuse, the PC is wearing out and I'm getting it evalutaed now for what needs to be done to make it bullet proof.

Those "other" forums do come in handy sometimes. :lol:

Start a fucking 7th Heaven forum. They do have a new album coming out and they're certainly better than some of the shit stain bands you have forums for. Danger Danger? C'mon, dude. :roll:

He needs to get rid of the forums nobody participates in and that should help the problem.
The Lepp forum is fine.

If no one is using them, then they are not taking up bandwidth and server resources right???

Maybe I need to kill the Journey forum. That'll save me a few grand per year.

Andrew, I used to help admin a board that was phpBB. When we got slow, we found that if we asked people to delete the 1000's of their old PM's that they really don't need, it helped the board considerably. Don't know if that's the problem but if people have a long list of old PM's it might help if they sorted thru them and got rid of all but the essential ones. (meaning 99% of them) I know it couldn't hurt.

I just deleted my entire PM "inbox" and almost all of my "savebox." Hope it helps. Andrew should "sticky" this idea and see if it works. :idea:

Wanna make more room and gain some speed? Why not reset Dean's post count and delete his 18K+ posts.... I bet you that will take care of half the problems ..... :twisted:

by **strangegrey** » Sun Apr 06, 2008 6:45 am

deleting forums wont do the trick...especially if those that inhabit those forums come here or other remaining forums. ie. all it does is redivert traffic that's causing the outages....

Andrew's right. It sounds like the while thing needs to be retooled.
