does gfy need a new hosting company or what?
 

I swear for the last week or so gfy.com is down throughout the day. I cant get to the homepage at least 2 times a day... wtf?

anyone else having this issue? I know its not my internet because I have had it happen on my 4g wireless card, my ipad, my home internet and at my club. 4 separate connections from 4 separate internet providers... Its really getting annoying. ugh.

A month ago everyone was cheering the move of GFY to this new web host, and a working search function. A month later, everyone wants whomever's head on a stick.

:1orglaugh

well I can understand some downtime on maintenance or whatever but its a constant thing lately. I mean Id be pissed if my sites were down this much...

GFY is great.

Hosting is top notch.

Don't hate. Congratulate!

Yeah, there were several downtimes and database errors lately...

Not really noticed it being any worse than other sites I visit.

I've noticed 1 hr or so of 'down time'. Other than that, the board has been a lot faster than it used to be.

Yea it's been down a ton for me too, i probably wont be able to make this post :D

GFY being down is business as usual for me over the years.

When I can't get to gfy I don't even think about it because I expect it to happen
eventually.

Database error is what I get a lot of times when trying to post.

It was down not to long ago for me as well.

Shit happens...

GFY should use WEBAIR

except for that downtime a couple of days ago, I personally haven't noticed any problems. to be honest: gfy's a lot more responsive now than it used to be.

I was experiencing the same issues, but then I decided to reset my modem and get a new IP, and suddenly I was able to browse as usual. This has happened twice over the past few days.

Bump for this morning's outage lol.

Yeah, its for sure been having some issues as of late.

yeah, that would help. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

it's okay, we are enjoying and learning a lot here.

Thank you,

Eric, I think its the ad server that is causing the issues.

i've had 20+ timeouts today alone. email with ping info sent.

Since I started fapping here years ago it has been a very unstabile site

I've had problems in the lst couple of days posting replies as well.

make that 21+

The connection has timed out

please green me, as per email request.

hmmm,.... so its not just me.... well its been a little better the past 24 hours...

Hi guys, some of you may noticed that GFY went down for 20min two weekends ago. It was an outcome of a massive denial of service attack we effectively prevented fast. We had to ban a lot of zombie IPs and some of you may got affected. Also, when we redirected gofuckyourself.com to gfy.com we had to write a small script to get you automatically logged when you get redirected. This causes a slowdown in some cases and I just requested its removal.

Overall since the move to level3 the performance increased and those of you that still experience problems you'll see them very soon resolved. GFY's traffic has increased a lot and the month of May we hit a 3y. record of traffic and ad impressions.

having some serious time outs again, just to let you know. :-)

It's the strangest thing. During the day when I am at work (9 - 5 eastern time gmt-6) i get knocked out every 10 or so minutes for like 5 minnutes. I log into facebook vimeo, twitter etc without a problem but time out like crazy when i try too respond, etc. Seems to have gotten worse as the days pass.

Fine tonight so far.

Is it me? No idea what to do to fix it if it is me. Oh and my boss is an old fashioned guy/mac user with all of us being pc users. He has no idea how to use a pc let alone how to filter anything out. No filters at all from the bossman.

working fine here today

just down for me for the past 20 minutes.... ugh.
