I have a horrible feeling that they have already switched to the new OS, and this is what we get. I really want to believe that this place will one day get its act together, but I've been trying to believe that for almost a year now and look where we are at. They don't talk to us about what they are doing or how long it will be before this place gets on track. It is very sadddddddd...

 

Just flying along this morning (on other forums) I know this is free, but if I was an advertiser or sponsor I would be ticked at the performance. VWVortex has a heck of a lot more volume and it is much faster. I am not looking for blazing fast speed, but sometimes it is best to just go away for a while. Do you guys have much info out of the logs? Is it resource conention, certain threads, or what exactly causes it to slow down to eventually getting timeouts??

 

I concur....just dog slow here loading pages no matter what the thread. Been like this for months.

 

Migration is complete. So far so good.

We shall see what happens during peak hours tomorrow afternoon.

 

I'll say...zips right along now, nice and speedy. Great work admins!

 

We are holding our collective breath, and our fingers are crossed... (I see the upload feature is now available--definitely a step in the right direction!)

 

Going from page to page was pretty fast. Seems kinda slow when posting though?

 

Actually...its alot better. Good job guys. What the hell took you soo long?

 

Stiggs, Ricky once said you were the one in charge of fixing this site... Is the hoped for "improvement" because of you or in spite of you. Are you declaring yourself a success, or did I misunderstand? Not trying to be an SOB. Just curious about what is actually going on... I mean if you had a hand in getting MBW into "overdrive" I want to say thanks to you, not some mysterious admin. J

 

Stiggs is in charge of collecting ****. The guy is pathetic when it comes to computers, I believe he still has a Windows ME.

Ricky was just joking. Stiggs is too busy planning his marriage!!

 

Well, if he's in charge of **** he should be banned forever! But if he's getting married my heart goes out to him--but mostly her...

 

Banned for not sharing!

 

Banned for not porning...

 

Actually I finally upgraded my Windows ME to Windows XP! So there!

I didn't have a hand in this...I wish. I do like **** thats for sure!

 

Jooo still lose!! Windows Vista is coming out in January.

Hey, at least you tried.

 

I heard Ballmer say that XP buyers could upgrade to Vista free w/in six months or something like that...

 

If they had a coupon or something from their manufacturer.

But seriously, there's no need to unless Vista provides you with something you *need* and in that case, you should've gotten a Mac in 2001

Windows ME was a big piece of ****. Windows XP is probably the best operating system out for home users that has come out from Microsoft. Networking is easier than Win2000. Some games (oddly enough) have compatibility issues with Win2000 as well (very few games though).

The only reason I can see Vista coming into my house is if I buy a game that requires DirectX10 (unlikely since I've stopped PC gaming with the exception of two games -- Tremulous and TA Spring, both free and opensource) or if I buy a Windows based computer in the near future (also unlikely seeing how I don't need one, except maybe for my sister but she's getting a Macbook because she doesn't deserve anything less at the moment).

Vista had a lot of things coming for it, but thanks to Microsoft being Microsoft they've botched the launch by removing all the cool things like WinFS, nuclear capabilities, ability to change hardware, removal of WGA, etc.

 

back ON TOPIC- this site is still very slow and seomtimes does not want to even load up from google. With 40,000 members, i would expect better

 

Are you sure it's not your connection?
It's blazing fast here since we got the forum transitioned over to the new server + we're still tweaking it to make it much faster.

 

You may be right. I'm on broadband but sometimes have some problems with it. Glad things have been improved. The one thing though is that sometimes i cannot open the site when i can open every other site on the web. I'm bad on computers so

Anyways, thanks for the quick response, vraa

 

Why don't you get a life. And a good PC w/ Windows XP, soon to be Vista, and quit pretending you know anything about computers... Your ignorance is dripppppping all over this site, and, of course, that great car Lexus/Loser site...

 

He's not the only ignorant person.....

 

Yes, AsianML! I know!!

 

That "other" person is not me either.....

 

Who is "that 'other' person," anyway???
