How bloody slow is CC right now?

[The Big Banana]

Everytime I load a page or post it takes about a month to finish.

[MagnumXL]

Its you not cc. Im running bittorrent right now and im getting fine speeds on CC.

[The Big Banana]

Nah, I was running other things as well, everything was working except CC. Its fine now though.

[Spike]

It was running slow, it's taken about 3 minutes to get here. Probably because we're on a shared-server and some arseholes have started work and want to read their emails.

[MagnumXL]

Lol I have been getting awesome speeds. Woohoo for me! :puke:

[Spike]

Seems better now. Last week it had bouts of crawling along.

[The Big Banana]

Whos hosting the forum?

[Spike]

No idea.

[Matt]

Guys, if we could raise some money for it, I'd be happy to put CC on a dedicated server, but I'm not sure we'd be able to get enough.

It pisses me off when it goes slow. :(

[The Big Banana]

Just checked netcraft and it looks like youre on the same host as spamassassin. That probably gets hammered whenever they update. I'm just having a whinge though, shouldnt really complain when this is a free forum.

[Spike]

It's been fine for months, just last week I noticed some slow downs.

Probably not worth it - the slow downs only affect about 6 people. :lol:

[The Big Banana]

HEY! Weve got 7 people on here right now.

[wern]

most of us are regulars too, so that's something. We can really filth this place up now :lol:

[Spike]

God, it's running trough treacle again, about 5 mins to get from the main page into Non-PE and get to reply. This must be what dial-up feels like. :lol:

[BIGOKE]

Running frigging slowly and most of my posts got stuck and I had to close them. Fucken hell.

[Spike]

And 14 posts shy of an avatar, what a shame. :lol: :lol:

[Bobo]

The earth is safe, CC is working just fine now. When I logged in it was slow as hell and I almost killed everyone. You're safe now... for now. :x

[Bobo]

No, sorry... I'll take that back. Slow as hell again.

YOU'RE MESSING WITH THE WRONG GUY!!!!

#%&#*#&%#¤!!!!

[Spike]

It took so long to get here, I had to shave my beard off.

[ArTee63]

Seems to be running well. For now.

[Spike]

Slowed up again. :?

[Baseballer8]

Its better now :mrgreen

[Spike]

It got better 1 minute after posting the above - it just 15 took minutes to do it. :?

[BIGOKE]

And 14 posts shy of an avatar, what a shame. :lol: :lol:
Tell me about it! 2 days to make 22 posts, fuck fuck fuck err I feel better now. :mrgreen

[Matt]

ive emailed the host about it.

['TheBugKahuna']

How much money do you need to buy a server, Matt? Do you have to pay a monthly bill too?

[Spike]

Shared-Hosting should be OK for CC. It's been OK since March. Either the web company are upgrading/fucking things up or we're sharing with some script heavy arseholes. But servers are supposed to be balanced so nobody gets to dominate the system.

Dedicated-hosting means you pay more each month to get a server all to ourselves.

Or if you have a static IP then you can turn your home PC into a web-server by installing a LAMP or WAMP and just leave it on 24/7.

[Shane_Bos]

Matt, give us some figures. Ive got no idea how much it would be but im sure if the problem persists, people would donate some sort of contribution to fix it. I know i would.

[Spike]

I wouldn't. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Bobo]

Well, with CC being this slow I can't read all of the posts meaning I won't be doing my moderator duties. Something must be done, this won't work.

[MagnumXL]

Yeah I expirienced my first slow down yesterday. BLOODY SLOW! <- lol coming from an American.

[Spike]

It must be slooooooowwwww now, considering there are 14 regs and only 2 new posts.

Only took 4 minutes to get the reply box up. Time now is 11:01 according the clock at the bottom.

[Officespace2801]

It's been a bit slow for me. Not enough for me to support the idea of a private server, but just enough to be obnoxious.

[Matt]

Well I'm going to have to make some money off it soon (wether it be by advertising or something) to renew the Vbulletin software (can't remember how much it is) maybe hundred dollars or something like that, maybe less maybe more.

With regard to the server, I've emailed them... No reply as of yet.

A dedicated box would be closer to 1k - 2k a year, a bit excessive for our needs to be honest, but the only way to guarantee good speeds. I don't expect for one minute we could get that much sorted.

If we didn't fill our forums with filth, and swearing and stuff I maybe could ahve put adsense on here from google, that would have paid for it.

[Valk]

Matt, your baby is dying a slow dead... :cry:

Maybe we should wait if this sorts itself out. (and ofcourse see what the host has to say about it)
It could be a big wave in a normally calm ocean, and everything will turn to normal once the wave is gone.

I have a couple of questions to you though:

1) Why new software already? The whole reason for this new board was a change in software, so isnt it a bit soon?

2) How much does CC cost per month?

[hugh g rection]

Matt I would be very unhappy to see this site have issues because of server issues. That having been said, I haven't even been able to get on and reply 95% of the time the last two days. Not good sir, not good.

[The Big Banana]

Its bad right now. Oh well.

[Spike]

Actually for me it's running fine right now.

Might have spoken too soon though.

[The Big Banana]

Yeah, Its running well again now. It was bad for about 45 mins before I posted that.

[Bobo]

Yep, running just fine now, but it's been like that on and off... it wouldn't surprise me if it slows down again in a few minutes.

[Spike]

Why aren't you working?

Or are you? :lol:

[Matt]

1) Why new software already? The whole reason for this new board was a change in software, so isnt it a bit soon?

2) How much does CC cost per month?

1. Not new software. The license for Vbulletin is yearly. I just looked and I can't remember if I bought the owned version or the leased one, so I will probably only have to pay $30 if it was the owned one. No probs.

2. Don't know for sure cos I got other shit on the same account but with the vbulletin fees, hosting and bandwidth, currently approximately $30 ish per month.

[Matt]

Working fine at the minute, hopefully was just a huge wave in a normally calm ocean.

[Bobo]

Why aren't you working?

Or are you? :lol:
:lol: Well, yes and no. I've got some fever (38,4C) and an headache from hell, so I decided to stay at home today. I have loads of things I can do from home via email, and I've written about ten long emails already this morning. My assistant is taking care of the office.

BTW, CC slowed down again. :x

[Spike]

Well I'm going to have to make some money off it soon (wether it be by advertising

A PayPal Donate button would be simple to do - and who know's someone might press it.

What about affiliate schemes like Amazon - Matt's Top 10 books, music, movies , games etc.


If we didn't fill our forums with filth, and swearing and stuff I maybe could ahve put adsense on here from google, that would have paid for it.

What's the problem with adsense & filth? :lol:

[Valk]

Working fine at the minute, hopefully was just a huge wave in a normally calm ocean.

Are you mocking me Sir? :lol:

BANNED!!!!

[Spike]

Well, CC's been running tickety boo all day for me. :D

[Valk]

I've written about ten long emails already this morning.

I hope one of them is the love letter you promised me.

[Valk]

I'm beginning to see a connection between Valks presence and the board fucking up. :?

[Bobo]

I hope one of them is the love letter you promised me.
Still working on that. :lol:


:puke:

[ArTee63]

tickety boo

I take it that's good?
:P

Google don't allow swearing or filth so I can't do that... If I knew how to put a banner script on here I could put some clearly labelled advertising banners at the top of the page. That would be best but I don't know how to do it.

[Officespace2801]

It seems to be working a lot better for me now too. So maybe it was just a rough point.

Still though, if you have to pay $30 a year to renew your Vbulletin license, I wouldn't mind chipping in $5 through paypal or something to help keep this site up and running.

[ThirdLeg]

running really good right now been the first time in a week when it hasnt taken me 30 minutes to post something yey. :mrgreen

[Spike]

If I knew how to put a banner script on here

I'll look into it now I'm a PHP expert. :P

[Valk]

Cant we just do a couple donations?
Or cant you just give Spike a very seductive smile?

One banner could lead to another and then to another and before
you know it we have dozens of blinking banners.

[BIGOKE]

CC is working properly again. YIPPEE! :D

[Matt]

I'll look into it now I'm a PHP expert. :P

Mate if you find a way that'd be great!

It would be only ONE banner guys but it would change every time you refreshed. Not a problem for anybody, just hopefully would make a little money.

[Bobo]

I hope it won't jeopardize CC's credibility, because the policy of "not selling anything" is a strong argument when trying to convince the newbies about natural PE and our intentions towards them. Of course anything that must be done to keep CC alive must be done, but I'd hate it if this would have a negative effect on our credibility. Just my humble opinion... it's a big change in CC policy and I think this point had to be said.

If we will have PE-related advertisement here, how can I do this (http://www.cheekycherry.com/ccforums/showthread.php?t=1711) in the future?

...or this (http://www.cheekycherry.com/ccforums/showthread.php?t=1708) (four posts down, second paragraph).

[Valk]

It looks like CC doesnt want gets plastered by banners either, cause its seems to be running fine now. :D

[Matt]

Well I waited almost 3 days for a support response (fucking terrible) and here it is:

"You should not be seeing this problem anymore.


--tim"

Yeah, thanks a fuckin bunch Tim. What exactly WAS the problem? :?

[ArTee63]

Yeah, thanks a fuckin bunch Tim.


:lol: :lol:

[BIGOKE]

Tims an asshole!

His other name is TINY TIM! :twisted:

[Bobo]

I bet Tim was downloading a shitload of gay porn blocking the bandwidth with his crap. Now he has enough for a while. Just a theory. :D

[Matt]

:lol::lol::lol:

Oh well, at least it DOES seem better now. You guys experiencing Holyness or shittyness?

[The Big Banana]

Only holyness my lord

[Matt]

good good :D

[Bobo]

Yep, holyness, but I'm still sceptical. :wink:

[ArTee63]

Holyness here.

[Tmac 1 LeBron 23]

It's running well for me, you use broadband right TBB? You might been surfing or downloading too many files so if your over your download limit you go back to dial-up speed :neut: sucks but it recharges every month, or your computer just needs a good restart or even your router. If you have dial-up then get a broadband.

[The Big Banana]

Its fine now Tmac, back then there was a problem. If you read the whole thread it explains that we're on a shared server and apparently someone was eating our bandwidth.

[Tmac 1 LeBron 23]

OH soz, gald you figure it out anyway :mrgreen

[Spike]

Mate if you find a way that'd be great!



I'll get cracking. :P

[Bobo]

CC slowed down again. :x

[Bobo]

...and now the holyness is back. :roll:

[Valk]

CC still experiences some hic-ups once in a while but they're mostly short and THANK GOD its not as bad as it was last week.

[Bobo]

Yeah, but it's still scary when it happens.

[Matt]

Yeah just happened to me... Time to think about a different server me thinks.

[Bobo]

Me thinks a good idea that is.

[Bobo]

Still a good idea... CC has been quite slow again. :x

[The Big Banana]

Yeah, its been like this for quite a few hours... I didnt want to complain though.

[Spike]

I didn't have the patience to wait to complain.

[Spike]

Sorry guys, it was all my fault, I've been trying to get this picture to load - hogged all our bandwidth. :shock:

Repetition and dwelling on past glories is a sure sign of senility. :lol:

[Spike]

No, that was outright theft. :lol:

[Bobo]

I have this weird feeling of that reply becoming the next standard here. :lol:

[Spike]

They say recycling is ecologically sound - this saves wasting resources on finding new words. :lol:

[Bobo]

Yeah, and we have recycled replies so much recently that global warming must already be history! :mrgreen

[Spike]

Be right back, need to crank the heating up.

[Bobo]

I heard You got some snow over there?!

[Spike]

Not yet around here - I'm dying to try this snowmobile I bought 5 years ago when climate change was first mentioned and we were going to be plunged into a new ice age.

[Bobo]

HAA HAA!!! :lol:
http://www.die-simpsons.de/pic-db/pic-upload/thumbs/pics/schule/nelson17.gif

[Spike]

It still intermitently slow. :?

[Bobo]

CC or the snowmobile? :lol: Well, CC at least is slow as hell... so I'm outta here. Must wake up early in the morning.

Nite all! :D

[Spike]

Off poaching eh? :lol:

[Bobo]

:shock: Sssshhh! Don't tell everyone! :x :puke:

[Spike]

Well I'm off in 7 minutes - got some code to write.

[Bobo]

Well I'm off in 7 minutes - got some code to write.
FL in the oven again? :lol:

[Spike]

Leaving it on top of a radiator gives it a pleasant glow.

[Bobo]

So seven minutes is enough?

[Spike]

Been there since 3pm :cool

[Bobo]

Still needs shrinking? :lol:

[Spike]

Nope, I intend growing into it.

[Bobo]

Good luck for the gains! Remember this: less is more! :mrgreen

[Spike]

Go to bed or you'll be all cranky in the morning.

[Bobo]

Yes, daddy! :lol:

[Spike]

CC's been a bit erratic, slow, slow, quick, slow, slow. :?

[Bobo]

Yeah, and that's annoying as hell! :x

[Spike]

Just as you think it's OK, it grinds to halt.

[BIGOKE]

CC's been a bit erratic, slow, slow, quick, slow, slow. :?
Practicing sexual techniques there eh Spike?

[Spike]

I don't need to practise anymore. :lol:
