[madnuke]

Yeah very slowish..... but backup is important.

[Bhav]

shouldn't the backup have been done hours ago?

i've noticed the site being much slower today than any other sunday.

[Sensayshun]

I think the neowin servers don't respond to ping or tracert anyways so yeah...

[JMann Veteran]

gosh. it's backup sunday. a mod should make a BIG FAT STICKIE so people read it :rofl:

586477885[/snapback]

Most people don't even read the Stickies. Still a bit slow for me, but much better than it has been. :)

[KoL Veteran]

The site reeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaallyyyy slow today. I've been here other sundays and I've never seen the site slow

[dragon2611]

YES its backup sunday but it STILL shouldnt make it this slow and i would have thought its finished by now

ALSO its not normally this slow other sundays!

And i know that the server doesnt respond to ping/tracert but those tracert does show there is a latency spike on one of the routers between here and neowin.

A backup may slow the server down but i mean comon 2+ mins to open a page and its been like this all day on and off.

I can't believe for 1 second that the backup is all thats cuasing this slowness.

[crossbonez]

snail slow

[tunafish]

yer some days i been here and the site on a backup sunday is normally faster than this, but today its like OMG my snail can mpve faster than this, took me 1 min to load this topic wereas last sunday no more than 15 secs

[Fred Derf Veteran]

Obviously they are doing a master backup before they install IPB 2.1 :ninja:

Seriously, some Sundays are slower than others. Maybe there was more activity this weel than last week. Maybe there is a babe thread that I don't know about.

Maybe we got mentioned again on some other site that shall remain nameless. :D Maybe we have a lot of Germans visiting because of that magazine.

In all likelyhood things we be normal again soon. Please be patient.

[Sensayshun]

It's fine now for me.

And Fred666 must have hit the nail right on the head. I never thought of any of those.

Maybe neowins hosting some new warez that don't come out till 2007 :alien:

[Morgan]

Where's that babe thread at?! :)

[Rob2687]

How can you not have seen The Babe Thread? It's like, the best thing ever!

[dragon2611]

neowin is back up to full speed again here :D

[msntrev]

just got a timeout error a couple times while tryingt o open this thread...still slow for me though :(

[dragon2611]

dunno but i should imagine thats going to be some upgrade.

considering the size of neowins sql database must be huge.

do they ever clear out the old stuff :unsure:

LMFAO, I give you the award for post of the day :rofl: :laugh:

[ryanstein]

I'm still having the slowness. It took me 2 minutes just to log in, plus another minute just to open this topic.

Most Sunday Backups don't usually take this long. (Usually 12 hours before this.)

So, (and I am probably starting the rumor mill here), but why do you think it is taking so long. Are they taking a full master backup before moving to IPB 2.1, or are they... I can't believe I am even saying this... moving to phpBB. :pinch:

[ryanstein]

The backup seems to have stopped, and the IPB number is still v2.0.4. I guess that's it for the rumor mill.

EDIT: Oops, I spoke/typed too soon. There is still some slowness.

[Danellis]

It seems neowin's stable again. I guess either the backups finished or the babe thread's been closed.

[Mr. Chronopoulos]

still slow for me...maybe neowin 4?

[ponytail]

Still very very slow here. has been since before I went to work at 8 AM EST
