WrongPlanet is extremly overloaded

Post Reply New Topic

This problem is nothing compared how it was before where it would forever load and would take half an hour if dial-up and 2 minutes via broadband, regardless of the speed and it would frequently crash that the server itself and at one point crashed the whole server.

We then donated enough money thanks to WP Supporters and TOGGI3 so we ended up having a high spec server that we have now which was upgraded since January and it was running smooth at one point, and don't forget, we also have a back-up of the server so incase of another failure, it would come in handy.

It was round around Feburary after something happened to the database itself, we have been getting slow at times and that error message that doesn't even show the WP logo.

Also for some reason, the database seemed to have affected me which resulted me getting banned, turned out it was a glitch with the database. (I'm just not amused).

Also don't forget, we have tons of members and search engines scanning through the pages at the same time to the point where the site does eventually become ridiculously slow. The more traffic there is on a website, the slower.

We are working on speeding things up. What really happened is once the site started going fast again, more people began using it more so it started to slow a little. But it certainly is faster than it was before we upgraded.

Oh OK I understand. All sites have problems 1ce in a while but having it overloaded least five times every day gets to be kind of annoying. Maybe the overall speed could be lowered very slightly so the site won't be overloaded quite as much I'd rather wait one second longer every time I click on something than have it not respond at all for five minutes every hour or so

unfortunately that would cause more overloads.

I don't understand this kind of stuff to much. 1ce in a while I have good ideas thou; least I hope I do

...or upgrade to a stable and supported version of the software instead of an antiquated patchwork Goldberg's system.

Given how poorly this system operates, it would be likely to improve performance. And while I can see those modifications being similar to those here, I seriously and strongly doubt that they were made on the basis of those made here. Since according to you, the server was just upgraded and you "managed" to change providers, then what other options do you have? And I am still waiting for an answer as to where we are supposed to post issues and suggestions if they are going to be deleted from the wrongplanet.net discussion subforum. Thanks.
