Something is seriously wrong with this website


Recommended Posts

Some things I've noticed:

If you add a lot of quotes (like quote & /quote tags), it says "the number of opening quote tags doesn't match the number of closing quote tags" even if "ctrl-f "quote" and ctrl-f "/quote" (with ['s and ]'s, ofc) return the same amount of opening & closing quote tags.

They should dump apache and use Lighttpd for serving the php files and Nginx for static content, the site will load extremely faster, and I mean, click something and it will be there in your face :p It will take less power to hold double the amount of users.

What's the catch?

Add me to those that are having seriously long loading times. It's very sporadic for me. One minutes everything is chugging along great, next thing I know it's taking 3 minutes to load a page. Refresh and it's a gamble as to whether it will be immediate or another 3 minutes. Posting is a roll of the dice as well.

I haven't had a chance to talk with Dave, but I'm pretty sure it's on our end. I was getting some Apache alerts up until friday morning.

awww ok. That sucks... What kinda alerts were they were they servere?

Server loads, but I think Dave must have fixed them because everything is much quicker now (fast edit, liking posts, replying etc).

I just wanted to know if our servers are OK that's all :p

Site is laggy still -- normally posts saves are instant, clearly a delay now. And even loading different forum section takes time.

edit: That was painful watching it post.. Good 15 seconds, and then the save thing went away and took another 5 seconds for the post to show up.

yeah just want to chime in, I too am having the same issues reported, and it has been upwards of about a week they have existed. Just everything is much, much slower overall. Adding a reply to a thread now takes anywhere from 10-15 second, where it was at one point pretty instantaneous.

I don't post often, but yesterday I tried posting and it took about 30-45 seconds for it to happen. I do find that if I open the thread in another tab, my comment is usually there before it says the post submitted. I only know this because one time it simply didn't post at all and I did not feel like waiting.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • But they will be the first asking for a bail out the moment crap goes sideways. Its just a matter of time with this AI thing unless skynet gets us first.
    • I'm so conflicted with the Google Search AI summaries. On one hand I don't like how it's harming smaller websites by greatly reducing traffic which will harm us all in the long run but on the other hand those AI summaries often give me the information I'm after. I have never once clicked on 'show me more' though and never will.
    • Not a single company as small or large it may be is obligated to subsidize its products and sell them at a loss. Your way of thinking is socialist and as a West German with a German brother state but impoverished by state dictatorship and a socialist command economy situated to the East i can tell you - this kind of thinking very quickly leads to products not being produced anymore at all. EDIT: That does not mean that I find state support for social needs unreasonable. Quite the contrary. Together with solid workers' rights we exactly had exactly that in Germany for decades in the form of the Sozialstaat which was as the scandinavian social democratic very successful - until the number of people who drew from those resources dramatically increased (ironically a project of social democrat and green proponents).
    • Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027 by Hamid Ganji The iPhone Fold is one of the most anticipated tech products expected to debut this fall. It will be Apple’s first foldable iPhone, ushering in a new product category for the company. While the first generation has yet to hit the shelves, a new leak suggests Apple has already begun work on its successor. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claims that the second-generation iPhone Fold has already been confirmed, meaning Apple could launch a successor in fall 2027. The foldable iPhone is also reportedly referred to as the “iPhone Ultra,” though it remains unclear whether Apple will ultimately choose that branding, especially as Samsung is rumored to rename the Galaxy Z Fold 8 as the Galaxy Z Fold Ultra this year. The leaker also claims that the second-generation foldable will feature a wider folding display while reusing the same screen found in the first generation. Apple’s first foldable iPhone is expected to feature a 7.8-inch inner display and a 5.3-inch outer screen in a passport-style form factor. It has already been reported that Apple plans to change its iPhone release cycle in 2026 to spread launches throughout the year. Under this strategy, the iPhone Fold is expected to debut this fall alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. The standard iPhone 18 and iPhone Air 2 are expected to arrive later in 2026 or in early 2027. Speaking of the iPhone Air, Digital Chat Station says Apple remains undecided about a third-generation model. The company is reportedly waiting to see how the iPhone Air 2 performs in the market, and if sales disappoint, a successor may never materialize. As we reported this week, the iPhone Air has not been scrapped from Apple’s plans. The second-generation model is reportedly scheduled for spring 2027 and could introduce upgrades such as an additional rear camera for ultrawide photography and improved battery life.
    • ahh yes the good old your opinion differs from mine so you are therefore insane lol destiny 1 had no agenda pushing and was a massive success of a game, if you clearly look online the team for some reason thought they had too many men on the team and went on a woman and dei recruitment drive and we all know how destiny 2 performed from then on in
