For whatever it's worth, it happens on my work & home computers, & on Internet Explorer & Firefox.

I saw this about 15 mins ago while using Chrome . I'm pretty sure the server this forum is running on is in someones basement connected to a 56k modem . I ran a speed test on speedtest .net at the same time to make sure it wasn't my connection that was the issue . My connection is running at full speed by the way .

Ive been having issues lately, too. But I figure it's a free forum and you get what you pay for. Lol

I was about to post a similar message to yours... It seems the site is on a home server that can't handle the traffic. If so, it's unfortunate.

Slow for me as well... even some timeouts.

The last two days have been really slow for me. I may be refreshing a little to much but yea. Thing takes forever to load.

Eric SS · 12-16-2015, 10:29 PM

Yeah. These slow downs are crazy.

alfonsoj23 · 12-16-2015, 10:37 PM

Hope they find the cause...

Part of the problem is that I think they are running Camaro5, Camaro6, and Corvette7 all off the same DB server. It is clearly not scaled properly for the load - I have constant issues during any time of the day.

I don't think it's a bandwidth problem as there are clear signs that the site is "working" with the "too busy" messages.

Definitely time for an upgrade as well as some cleanup (why expose your VBull version to potential attackers?). Curious what the monthly nut for a site like this is...if I were the site owners/admin, I'd just move it into Amazon AWS and call it a day.

I also have some pretty good high speed net. To me it comes and goes. While back it became really slow and time out's. Then all the sudden I had no issues, fast and no time outs. Then about a month ago against my wishes my PC updated to windows 10 and now slow again.

I think that could be the issue.

This site is getting on the side of annoyingly slow as of late. I'm sure the influx of additional Gen 6 interest isn't helping, but I can't see that being the sole reason.

I mean...being in IT myself (Mostly RPG, and .NET application and web programmer) doesn't mean I'm a forum expert, or a DB expert, although I have work experience in both areas. This could be a bandwidth issue, or it could be an efficiency issue. If these three sites are running on a single SQL server instance for example, the amount of data traffic required for the three sites could simply be more than what it can handle. Could need some extra horsepower so to speak,and load balancing.

Hope they can make some improvements soon.

Rest assured it's not your Windows 10.

double post.

polizzio · 12-16-2015, 11:04 PM

It crashed again earlier, around 2100 CST, "404 not found"

Forum servers must have thrown a rod.......severe loss of power.
