Its official: GFY is the slowest forum in the history of the internet! - GoFuckYourself.com

nico-t · 06-07-2007, 06:36 PM

For GFY it wasn't really hard to achieve this title to begin with, since any other board that's 10 times bigger as gfy is ~100 times faster. So GFY already devoured all it's competitors.
The only other requirement for this honorable title was that the extreme slowness would be consistent for at least one year. And they made it!

Congrats and let's try and keep it slow as a turd going uphill for another year!

Quit bitching Troll, this is the best board out there.

IllTestYourGirls · 06-07-2007, 07:44 PM

the people here are FUN! But I agree its fucking slow. If this was a new site, with a few people talking, no one would come back.

geedub · 06-07-2007, 07:52 PM

id have to disagree. i visit a coral reef tank forum cas i have a tank myself, and that forum is by far slower than gfy. 9 out of 10 times search doesnt even work cause the server load is through the roof

doesn't change the fact that this board is inexplicably slow... dunno, maybe it's constantly under attack

but at least, people here are the greatest people on earth!

Big_D · 06-08-2007, 06:53 AM

sometimes yeah, but not lately...

Cum&Spam · 06-08-2007, 06:57 AM

Not the slowest forum, now cmon...lol
I visit other forums and are much slower.

GFY is not that slow, just sometimes.

tolik · 06-08-2007, 06:59 AM

sometimes does not loading for me at all.
too long to respond - it what i getting at firefox

Andiz · 06-08-2007, 07:06 AM

Here's my 2 cent:

Remove all the contest threads for 1 month.....and let's see if the speed improves.

I'm sure Nico didn't really mean it, he was just exaggerating a bit. However, with the money this board, and the company that owns it pulls in it does speak volumes about management.

word. Fight the power!

Michaelious · 06-09-2007, 08:52 AM

Yeah i love this site, it's great.

ServerGenius · 06-09-2007, 08:55 AM

well considering by the non relevant replies you see in EVERY thread I'd say
it's rather the opposite.....things here move WAY TOO FAST for people to
keep up with

I'd say don't be cheap and buy yourself a decent server. Because now it's like the forum is hosted on a cheap $10/month shared server or something. This will improve speed a lot!

Oh and another thing...what's up with the "Instant email upon reply" thing not working and the PM system missing??

Incorrect - Dean could have bitched all he liked, but he crossed the line and was very politically incorrect in discussing Playboy. He used at least one too many four letter words in suggesting what the Bunny might do in it's spare time (while waiting for the pages to load, I guess).

As for the board, it is big and unwieldy, and often seems to have issues connecting to the main database server, which means very uneven performance. It is fast sometimes, other times it goes off into la-la land. I somehow don't think that the software was actually designed to truly scale up to the levels that GFY is putting it to.

I bet your right on the software issue.

VBulletin is the best. The Digitalpoint board doesn't have this problem and they are almost twice the size of GFY.

It's a server issue, i'm telling ya

GFY isn't as big of a bulletin board as everyone seems to think. Sure's there a
few people here and a lot of posts but there's MUCH bigger and busier boards
around that run a lot faster.
