It's very slow and sometimes doesn't connect???

Dexter · « **Reply #1 on:** July 16, 2007, 03:26:08 PM »

I think that the admins trying to upgrade the server .

OH .o.k. thank you

Ehud · « **Reply #3 on:** July 16, 2007, 03:32:18 PM »

I don't think that's it because last time when the server was upgraded there was a message saying that. This time it just said that the server is busy.

Basically this is what's going on:
Our forum is B"H becoming bigger and more active all the time.
It has now become so big that our hosting company is unable to support us anymore.

In my opinion, JTF should look for a hosting company that will be able support our growing number of members and increased activity.

We have more people comming aboard all the time. If it's choking now, we'll be stuffed in a month or two.

Ehud · « **Reply #6 on:** July 16, 2007, 03:48:04 PM »

Thanks for keeping us filled in, TorahZionist.

I also agree that if it's doing this with the current amount of activity, the forum will be unusable in a few months.

mord · « **Reply #7 on:** July 16, 2007, 03:56:24 PM »

Yes i thought because of the growth of the forum that might be the cause

I thought that it might either be that or a cyber-attack by Muslim e-terrorists.

That could be on the cards. There's about a billion people in the world we slag off 24/7. We'd have to make 1 or 2 enemies.

Is it an affirmative action problem?

Wouldn't you love to be a fly on the wall if Chaim has do deal with schvartzas over this server?

MasterWolf1 · « **Reply #12 on:** July 17, 2007, 03:25:38 PM »

I don't know if anyone else have notice this, but within the last several days I have noticed that the forum may have a glitch, has crashed and some times just shut down for several hours. It has been frequent over the past couple of days. Has anyone else notice this as well?

newman · « **Reply #13 on:** July 17, 2007, 03:28:09 PM »

Everybody has copped it. If they don't do something, we've had it with the forum getting busier like it is.

Is it a server issue or a bandwidth issue?

jsullivan · « **Reply #15 on:** July 17, 2007, 04:45:19 PM »

It's a server issue. We have plenty of bandwidth. But our database keeps crashing. So it is a load issue on our server that only affects the forum. The main web page has been unaffected.

We are growing quickly, thank G-d, and our traffic is way up. If we become a mass movement, the problem would only get worse. So we are seeing what we can do about this.

Chaim has been on the phone with these morons repeatedly. We may have to change hosting companies.

I've worked in IT for a while and all I can say is, given what I've seen happen in this industry over the last few years, your use of the term "morons" is actually quite generous. Good luck.

Dan · « **Reply #17 on:** July 17, 2007, 05:04:59 PM »

I hope we'll resolve this soon...

I've been inviting many new people on the forum and I hope it won't let us down again.

MasterWolf1 · « **Reply #18 on:** July 17, 2007, 06:14:34 PM »

Well here is a thought, just a thought anyways, why not some of the admins or mods like myself we look at the membership if it shows well over 8 months to a year that someone has not posted how about we remove it for space if this is the case for high volume traffic. We look at the membership list I noticed some names are almost a year old and not one post thus far. And if by chance whomever it is ever decides to return they can make a fresh new account. What you think of this idea? Cause not the crashings are becoming once a day if not twice a day.

TorahZionist · « **Reply #19 on:** July 17, 2007, 06:16:45 PM »

Inactive users do not use up any traffic.
Traffic is when someone accesses the forum and data is transfered.
Inactive users take up disk space, which we do not have any shortage of.

Good idea

Ehud · « **Reply #21 on:** July 17, 2007, 07:29:53 PM »

This might be just a good idea in order to get a better reflection of the ACTUAL members who are signed up and actually use the forum.

cjd · « **Reply #22 on:** July 17, 2007, 09:12:59 PM »

The internet as a whole has been very slow. We may have higher usage on our forum however I have noticed an overall slowdown on the web. Even at work I have noticed the systems are not working as they should be and I am employed by a large corporation.

cosmokramer · « **Reply #23 on:** July 17, 2007, 09:18:54 PM »

Does it give some type of error mesage when you try to connect sometimes? It was doing that to me.

mord · « **Reply #24 on:** July 18, 2007, 07:41:31 AM »

Yes on a white page i forgot what it says something about heavy traffic
