I love the OCUK forums....but they are getting SO flakey these days.

Shown couple of people in the last week the ocuk forums, giving them an idea of why so many people like them so much.

It actually got a bit embarrassing. :(

Was like being on dial up once again.

Had to keep making excuses for the place..busy time....lots of people on....etc.

Basically this is one of the slowest sites I now visit on the web. :(

Now, I *know* the forum is free and I am grateful for that so no flaming me please. ;)

Just kind of wondered if there was any recent news I had missed regarding a server/ bandwidth upgrade or anything.

There were various suggestions being made I believe?

If people don't speak up when things are slow how will they ever know there are problems?

Like what eh? Like what??? But there's only so many times you can sit there repeatedly hammering the refresh button in the vague hope that the forum is up and running again!!!

Please reread my post, it negates the "standard" reply you posted there. ;)

My post is hardly flaming ocuk and doesn't require the normal auto-immune response such a post would get on here. :)
 
they aren't that bad most of the time.

Although they aren't running as well as they used to when they were first upgraded from the last server :)


IIRC there are 3 main ways to solve the problem.
1: Buy a new server
2: Limit the number of users online at any one time (and kill search and unnecessary forum subsections;))
3: Ban more people :p

1) Obviously a "good idea".......but I am not the one paying so I understand the dilemma there. LOL

2) Just.....no.....for SO many reasons. (Please don't kill search!)

3) I thought that policy was already being actioned? ;)
 
Okay, you can use my server - but I get to put a banner top right and the shop have to start selling CBS graphics cards alongside ATI and Nvidia. I am, as yet, unsure how I will manufacture graphics cards.
 
I say bring in paid subs like spie suggested awhile back. Id happily pay £10 a year or what ever it need be to have a lightning fast server.

Must admit tho , the forums have been very slow for me recentley :( But its all good
