When I try to open main forums page, it takes like 20 seconds to load. When I go to different threads, it takes less time, like 15. Is there something up with the site, or is it just me... Ad loading issues, or whatnot?

Maybe due to the upgrade they are doing.

I doubt that. It's been this way for a few days now.

 

On ping, it just hangs. Using traceroute, it gets around 1500ms. To the different servers.

I've tracked down the issue, the upgrade at the weekend dropped a couple of indexes on the topic table - obviously not ones that IPB normally uses itself, but they do get used generating the mini-spy data at the top of the page. This was causing the queries that load the data for that area to take much longer than usual, and at times of heavy traffic, bog down the database completely. I've readded the indexes, and things seem to be getting back to normal now.

    • Intel's next-gen desktop processors leak with a whopping number of cores

      I am saying if they put MC outside compute tile, it is DOA for gaming, in other words will be a failure like 285k unless they do some magic with MC, but I doubt it. It is that simple.
    • 'Open source Windows' ReactOS shows off one of the most iconic Windows games in full screen

      One of the reasons Windows is in use is because of compatibility with hardware and software, but it isn't perfect and there are gaps. This software can help maintain compatibility with older hardware and software the way DOSBox helps us now.

      This can help with compatibility the way DOSBox helps us now. There are a lot of old drivers, software, and hardware that don't work in current Windows. This could also help older hardware still be relevant because you can install it directly on devices where current Windows versions are no longer supported.
    • Nexus Mods owner steps down citing toll on personal wellbeing

      Nexus Mods owner steps down citing toll on personal wellbeing by Usama Jawad If you've ever been involved in the gaming landscape, there is a good chance that you have heard of Nexus Mods. It's one of the largest websites offering game modifications online with millions of registered members. The site hosts mods for numerous popular titles including The Witcher 3, The Elder Scrolls, Elden Ring, Dark Souls, and Fallout, among others. Now, the creator of the site has announced that ownership of Nexus Mods is changing hands, 24 years after its inception. In a blog post, the site's creator, Robin Scott - also known as "Dark0ne" in the community -, has announced that he is stepping down from managing the site on a daily basis and is actually handing over Nexus Mods to a new owner. Interestingly, this owner has not been named yet, but it seems like the community will be seeing a lot more of Foledinho (Victor) and Rapsak (Marinus) in daily operations. Scott says that ever since starting the site back in 2001, his adult life has been pretty much consumed by running Nexus Mods and managing its "major social network". This has almost been an on-call position, which has taken a toll on his personal wellbeing and health due to the accompanying stress and anxiety. As such, Scott has decided to step down from his executive role to avoid further burnout. Although Scott has not revealed the identity of the new owners, he says that his exit is purely for personal reasons and not some corporate backdoor deal. The site's creator will still be around in the forums and Mod Author Discord, providing direction when needed without taking responsibility. Scott's announcement has been mostly met with praise and thanks from the community. Though, as may be expected from a rather diverse and often polarized audience, the discussion did recently veer off-course and has now been locked from further engagement by community mods.
