Site downtime

[Tom]

Sorry for the downtime, fellas. Apparently we moved servers without getting any prior notification and something got stuck in the process. Here's hoping everything's fixed now.

 

[Hawke]

Yay, were back

 

[Lami]

Welcome back bros!

 

[Placebo]

So glad it's back!

 

[superleeds1]

Phew!

Site seems really slow, same for anyone else?

Yeah me for me too..was ok last night/this morning...it started to go really slow this afternoon.

My first thought was PES demo (or anticipated demo) but it's only showing about 160 or so people on the site which is about 8% of the highest ever amount of visitors so seems unlikely?

Possibly mate...Seems to have just sped up again for me ...you ? EDIT: Nope slow again.

 

[Tom]

Slow like molasses here, too. Will need to wait for it to hopefully sort itself out somehow. Sorry for the troubles.

I've noticed a lot of forums that move servers are slow at first, I wonder if the server hosts basically starve new "clients" of resources until they receive "demand" from the new client, one way of saving money I guess.

We're meant to be on more powerful hardware so I'm chasing this up with the hosts. Please keep reporting anything that you notice. Hopefully it's just teething issues.

It's definitely way slower, if I click say "other games" it takes 5 seconds or so to open that forum, used to be virtually instant.

 

[Mart]

It's currently speedy again after seemingly grinding to a halt. Fingers crossed it's fixed.

 

[Placebo]

Yep it's better this morning

 

[S-NipE]

Still experience a very slow loading speed.

 

[Mart]

How has it been for the last couple of days? Whenever I'm on it seems fast.

 

[superleeds1]

No issues here Mart, working fast & fine.

 

[S-NipE]

Much better, gone back to the usual speed. Was anything changed?

 

[Placebo]

Very slow again today

 

[Placebo]

Actually it's the slowest its ever been, just took 14 seconds to load this thread from the menu

 

[Hawke]

Yeah very very slow today.

 

[Tom]

Dito.

 

[superleeds1]

Terrible, sometimes it wont connect at all.

 

[Placebo]

Need to hire someone new for the job!

 

[Hawke]

Need to hire someone new for the job!

Lami ?

 

[Tom]

Speedy again now.

 

[Placebo]

Not really. 5-7 seconds to load each thread.

 

[Mart]

Thanks, everyone. I've asked for the server setup to be reviewed as the performance doesn't seem to scale too well when the number of users increases.
