    Being on GFY is like surfing on dial up....it has to be the slowest forum around

    wtf is up with the speed of GFY? aren't they hosted at Jupiter? not a very good example of what Jupiter can do....LOL

    anyone have any idea why this vbulletin forum is so slow, but some that are 10x it's size and posts are so much faster?

          When you let guys like Squishypimp post 200 times a day, this is what happens.

              check the stats of those other vbulletin forums I pasted stats from, they have far more action than 10 squishypimps, and they fly when you load their pages

                                    Honestly - I think I found the problem....try it for yourselves.

                                    It's the quicksearch - launch a quicksearch, then try and load GFY in another window....it hangs and hangs and hangs. When your search is done, try loading again - bing, it's done.

                                    This has nothing to do with a local connection, since launching a quicksearch from a remote connection, then testing gfy on a local one...same result.

                                    For coding work - hit me up on andy // borkedcoder // com
                                    (consider figuring out the email as test #1)

                                                I have no doubts that TD is capable of handling it, but I think the job is beyond enormous due to the fact that it reaches back to years of modifications and shitty coding before him

                                                    It's slow for me as well. Hopefully they can fix it.

                                                      BTW, I wasn't bitching.

                                                      TD just needs more hardware for the cluster and someone isn't giving it to him. It's as simple as that.

                                                          Is it considered ironic that we're complaining about a site called www.gofuckyourself.com?

Nothing cheap or slow about it. I invite anyone to come up and take a look at the network and not come to the conclusion it is one of the most well designed networks using the most current high-performance hardware.
