Is anyone else getting intermittent timeouts when trying to connect to this forum? It's been happening for some time now. It works fine for most of the time but then suddenly I'm not able to access any part of the forum for some time. I don't have this problem with any other sites/forums.

Rest assured you're not alone, have been experiencing the same type issues on my end. Think we're still getting some server problems resolved. It began w/ the steady influx of fanboi's so you nvr know :rolleyes2

I think user Drumphil may be having the same problem.

There are times this server becomes totally inaccessible, yes. And based on what some have said in the IRC channel during some of these times, this is no isolated incident when it happens.

It is a problem that is being addressed as best as can be. It is intermittent and not reproduceable so that adds to the troubleshooting. Thanks for everyone's patience. :)

What's been up with this, these past 24 hours?

Udawg mentioned in one thread he couldn't join for 3 hours. I posted this morning once, and then the forum server was down for 1.5 hours. And then tonight it went down for a half hour or so, came up, I posted a bit, and then it was back down for a short bit.

This has been happening every day for quite a while now. Also at about roughly the same time every day - usually around 1 or 2 p.m. I hope it gets straightened out soon.

Rest assured that it's not being ignored. Doing the best we can.

Never said you weren't. ;)

But I think you should find your host/server provider and break their knees. :kar:

Drugs, nothing more than drugs. :D Just Mike getting the cat stoned and he wizzed on the server again.

I thought it was me and the crappy ISDN we have at work but it is nV News.

We are pretty sure that the increased disk contention from the automated backups are responsible for the server timeouts. We have also had to reboot the server quite often to recover.

As of June 18, the backups, which ran at 12am and 12pm central time, were temporarily disabled. Joerge is working on a fix that will save the backup files on a remote server.

It am happy to report that the offending bug that caused server performance to degrade has been eradicated. :clap:
