GFY POOL: Let's all donate for a real server for GFY - GoFuckYourself.com

GeXus · 08-03-2007, 01:24 PM

GFY is slow as fuck! Let's all pool together and get it off this shared host. I'll start the pool with a 2 spot.

flashfire · 08-03-2007, 01:55 PM

or they could spend some of the advertising money on a decent server

Do you have any idea what it costs to advertise here - just one of those "change the GFY theme" ads would cover the price of a heavy server solution for years...

Snake Doctor · 08-03-2007, 02:05 PM

The ppl who own GFY also own jupiter hosting. Things that make you go hmmmmmmm

tiger · 08-03-2007, 04:31 PM

Pay for hosting? I'm sure some hosting company would host this thing for free just for a link at the bottom.

Does anyone know what kind of setup this is running on? Most of the vbulletin functionality is disabled so getting it to run fast shouldn't be that hard.

jonesonyou · 08-03-2007, 04:33 PM

Ok I will.

OG LennyT · 08-03-2007, 04:47 PM

GFY is a corporate resource and spending additional monies on it's hosting probably requires some bureaucracy/ board meetings/ etc.

In other words, as long as people come here, it's not gonna happen.

boneprone · 08-03-2007, 06:21 PM

GFY runs on three dedicated quad core servers... How much more do you want?

I think its time you upgraded off your AOL V2.0 dialup and got a better isp...

Or moved to a real country that has fiberobtics running into the city..

Sorry if GFY doesnt load fast in your 3rd world countries.

I don't hate anyone. If there's anyone displaying hate here it's you in that post above. You must have some serious existential issues that I have no interest in hearing. And by the way, I've heard people from the US complain of the slowness of this board before too, so you might want to check your facts.

Not sure why everyone thinks GFY is slow... its always fast here

Sadly, I am not in a third world country, and I am connected at a pretty decent speed, and GFY is dog to load from about 9am to about 10PM. It is entirely random as well, sometimes very good and sometimes a total, total dog. In some cases it times out and blows up firefox doing it.

Vbulletin is VERY VERY DB intensive, and with a board as active as GFY, this thing is getting killed. The source of the problems seem to be mostly related to connecting to the DBs to get the pages loaded. You could have 100 quad cores all lined up, but if they can't get to the database, they can't run.

This site is slow alot, pages hang up or won't load.

The problem is vBulletin's inability to scale well with growth. This board has very 12 million posts and is extremely busy.

Unless you get custom programming it is hard to keep vB stable at such a size.

Spunky · 08-03-2007, 08:13 PM

Indeed..I always thought it was a script problem

CBR_Grant · 08-03-2007, 08:20 PM

gfy is THE slowest site i visit on a daily basis.

the slower it is the less i visit .

so to answer your question . I want it to NOT be the slowest site i visit daily.

but i am certainly not going to "chip in" , they should use some of the money they have gotten from shady advertisers like "guba" , "ibill" and "aff"

I guess you are right

If he had only one brain cell not dead due to excessive drugs, he must know that people in the third world countries and on 56kbps or 128kbps would never complain because whole internet is slow for them. So, only guys in first world with 10+mbps will complain when they will feel gfy is slower than other goddamn sites.

I don't like the fact that you're representing the USA in this manner, and thus I just had to post. I don't view or post on GFY often at all, but the ignorance and arrogance you have displayed in this thread is too much to ignore.

I cannot even begin to correct the ignorant statements you made, but I must say, you are an embarrassment and I am unhappy that people like you make up the majority of our country.

Free speech is fine and all, but when you blatantly make ignorant statements like you have in this thread, and many others, you are taking the right for granted. I'm in PA, USA and when I see other Americans acting this way, I just have to relate to why other parts of the world despise America because of people like you who represent us.

Sorry if this was overboard but I had to say it.
