Abnormally Frequent Downtime Lately

larryn · 01-10-2010, 02:32 PM

Servers need an upgrade? Seems to be much larger portion of downtime than normal lately.

Just performing alot of updates today so server will be in and out for a few minutes at a time

Donbona · 01-11-2010, 08:24 AM

Cool cool... anything that makes the site better!

Hey guys, are you finding that more and more these days the forum will be down, and then back up? Sometimes down for 30 seconds, sometimes down for 30 minutes...

Do we need help? Is it financial? Of just trouble with the company hosting it? Are we maxing out bandwidth?

So we all need to "$support$" the forum more? I would like to help if its something the community can come together and help with?

I think its an Iran cyber attack on this forum.

Finnegan · 01-12-2010, 06:41 PM

I've experienced the same issues. I think this will be moved to the forum feedback section. (I just learned of that section recently....)

It's recovering from all the "which exhaust to get," 335i vs. M3, and 135i vs. M3 posts.

I noticed it Sunday morning but figured it was maintenance as I was the only idiot browsing that early on a Sunday.

Pages come up really slowly now too, especially with pictures.
No more DCT Vs. 6MT thread they're lagging everything down

+1
I think that the mods should amalgamate all the same theme threads, like 6MT vs DCT, M3 vs 335i, which exhaust sounds best, and so on. It just clutters up the forum with the same old threads.
