Is GFY's performance (speed) an indicator of jupiters network an speed?
 

Why is this place just crawling at times like now? I have 2 sites that receive over 75k uniques a day that may need a home, but can I judge jupiter by looking at GFY? I am assuming GFY is jupiters flagship or one of them atleast.

No a lot has to do with the server it's on and the processes running also.

This is a large message board that has had to move servers many times in the past.

Jupiter itself has very fast speed and Poppy and the crew over there is doing an excellent job in building and maintaining Jupiter.

my boys over at serverprovider have an awesome setup, insane support, and awesome verio connections...

hit up sami on icq @ 311848143 or www.serverprovider.com :) :thumbsup

i dont really think that you can judge them by the way gfy runs, gfy is a massive board and it may be outgrowing its current setup

see how quickly I have crossed them off the list, with your nonsense spamming. Totally irrelevant to current discussions
:Oh crap

He said discuss ... not to spam him with someone else. :321GFY

spam WHAT? do you see a ref code there? I love serverprovider and just thought I'd share my :2 cents:

He said his servers need a home, so what better else then give my boys props.
don't care for it? suck it!

look at the tours of adult.com sites, that will give you more accurate measure of how fast they are....

Like any monster, GFY needs care and feeding. Lensman gives us (at Jupiter) a considerable amount of autonomy to make sure it runs as fast as it can.

We're "on the hook" for GFY is what I'm tryng to say. That's how we approach all of our business. We are accountable.

With that said, GFY can be a killer.

If you removed the DDoS / DoS Attacks, highly aggressive proxy based spiders, the folks trying to bring down the site through any means possible, and a massively growing user base, the site would be constantly fast. It's a daily effort to prevent / stop attacks while supporting huge growth. As they say though, "if you build a better mouse trap, they'll build a better mouse". Their will never be a winner so we must fight these things on a daily basis.

Behind the scene, we have a full time GFY admin who's job is to make sure GFY stays up. When it gets slow, find the cause and nuke it.

I think the best way to judge Jupiter would be to look at who we host. Check out the speed from a few different spots, and ask yourself why more than 50% of the top adult internet sites host with us.

If you have any questions, you can hit me up on ICQ.

Considering the whole site is data-driven, and search is fully operational on over 6 million posts, GFY is amazingly fast!

Thanks Jupiter!

poppys the man!!!
