why is this site so slow?

[river]

Hi,

Although I havent worked out if its the server, the LHC or Toms post whoring thats really to blame.

Its the server. The number of hits we get is massive and the actual hardware is 3years old and the comms links to it are not the fastest. It has had its time and, as Keanu said, we are in the middle of moving the site over to a much more powerful system, with full DRP and very fast comms. Hopefully you will notice and appreciate the performance gains we get with the new system.

We also have requested the new server to be sheilded in a concrete bunker, lined with lead and gold to ensure it is safe from the LHC.

Alas, there is little we can do about Tom's post whoring, except to admire his ability to command a high paying test job where most of his testing seems to be in loading the Toymods server!

Judging by those comments River, I assume Dav is going to move up the list of Toymods hottest men when the list is revised at toyotafest?

Particularly since dong and jcmf are now married, which immediately lowers their hotness

Everything should operate much faster now that I just deleted 996 private messages from my inbox and sent items

thanks for the replies, i was not aware of the server doobie change.


a mild non car club 'forum users' fee as mentioned above would not scare me off if it were to help the forum.

I've been taking it easy today as my actual testing job has been requiring my partial attention, I guess this can be some kind of 'anti-stress test' for the current server before we migrate.

And thank god its high paying, all the Hams and Dead Cat removalists aren't cheap you know. (I bet you all knew)

The Handsome one is married, and it has not stopped him from holding the #1 position.

The list is about being the most handsomest, not the most available.

PS: Dav? I assume you are referring to Keanu Dav?

[Draven]

yes

I'll make sure to get a manicure and haircut before toyotafest to improve my standings

In that case they might think I'm some kind of Alien love god, sent from the future.

Then again, Henry Winklers charm is timeless I think you'll find.

[oldcorollas]

people keep rectumfying it by refreshing, and going to latest post and shit

if less people loaded it up, it would be faster
... i'm just guessing

when forum is slow, how many people are logged in?

[brett_celicacoupe]
