Synz Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 Originally posted by Cara There are currently 169 members and 93 guests on the boards. I definatly think if they axed the 93 guests and made the boards Registered Users Only some of the busy problems might lighten up a bit. um no.. see thats where it would be a bad idea... some people just want to come and look at a forum for an answer before they post, some dont and make an acct to post, but im sure there are alot of people who want an immediate answer so they search through the right category... kind of like doing it yourself without having to call tech support and wait on the phone... and for somebody who was just registered 2 days ago, and is female... seems pretty odd... none of the other girls, including myself, post this much.. must mean one thing.. that you're really a male.. i'm quite knowledgeable myself but you dont see me going around from every single post that i can, throwing my own 2 cents in, and racking up my post percentage.. but anyway.. thats just my opinion, proceed :) next....

Apollo Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 Originally posted by Cara Redmak, Have you guys ever considered killing guest access to the forums in order to free up SQL/PHP Time? It seems that is where your major problems with loading and errors are originating since the other features on the site continue to operate thoughout the outages. Just a suggestion... i don't think that's such a good idea because a lot of ppl before registrating look around the board and that was actually my case... before registrating i looked around the boards for a few weeks and then decided to register just my though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blast, didn't catch this before my last post. :p But, this one can't go unanswered. I would figure that such an arrogant comment would have come from a guy and not a girl... If you'd like to continue on that line, PM me. I don't care what you think honestly but I hate arrogant people posting about others when they have no idea. I mean, what you're saying is that because someone offers suggestions and participates in threads that makes them male? Very intresting, will have to add that one to my book. LOL Oh well, as I said, if you want to continue this please PM me, I won't let further arrogance from your post to contribute to taking this thread further off topic.

ziddey Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 you guys should have seen the server load. when i first looked, it was a high 29 (normal should hopefully be below 10 or even 5... i get about 3-7 at heavy times). anyways you guys can check the loads of neowin at http://pornostash.neowin.net :D:D hrm right that disallowing guests would make those who havent signed up not want to sign up. good idea also to limit number of guests but i havent used vbulliten and dont know if possible. will try to get my hands on it. why does everyone love this over all the other bb's?? im running phpbb right now. any pros and cons. sorry for digressing [edit]load was down to 9 when i was able to get back on and is now 4[/edit] [edit] pretty impressive for only having 2x1000cu processors. maybe thats vbullitens advantages? especially over the serverstraining ikonboard[/edit] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cara Veteran Posted June 23, 2002 Veteran Share Posted June 23, 2002 I've been monitoring the SysInfo for the server, it seems to be subject to REALLY hard spikes on it's resources, I wonder what the solution to this would be... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziddey Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 hrm one of two options: 1. upgrade (add more cpu or servers) 2. if the former isnt the problem (no probs before) shell in to the box and reboot it... 8 days is enough. since the former is probably not economical, just reboot the sucker :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cara Veteran Posted June 23, 2002 Veteran Share Posted June 23, 2002 I also wonder if VBulliten uses GZIP compressed pages...depending that could either increase transfer rates if this is a bandwith problem, or turn it off to save processor time...

Synz Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 why not try and find a better host? hell, if i had my own running server at home, and it was a decent machine, i'd say go right ahead and throw everything you want on it and ill host it, won't even charge you for anything :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cara Veteran Posted June 23, 2002 Veteran Share Posted June 23, 2002 What they might need to consider is at some point in time, Donations willing, is to ditch out the dual giggers and drop a pair of the newer P3's in there and another gig or so of memory (Depending on the board). Either that or ditch the entire setup for a Quad Xeon. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
