kenshinsbabe Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 [SIZE=2][FONT=Georgia]I'm pretty sure that it's just your connection. I have no trouble getting around quickly. [/FONT] [/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panda Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Welcome to the OtakuBoards FlamesFirebrand. Since this thread is more of a comment about the site it would be best suited for the Suggestions and Feedback forum. For that reason that I am moving this thread over to that forum. Be sure to make sure your posts are easy to read with care given to grammar and spelling. Your posts are borderline spam right now. As for the server being bad, I am not have any problems with visiting the site. All my pages load quickly. Perhaps you are having trouble with your internet service or have some sort of virus in your computer that is slowing you down. Hopefully someone will have some suggestions on what you can do to speed things up. -Panda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petie Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 [font=Verdana][color=blue]Sometimes, these things just happen. There are a lot of people using these boards and it can sometimes cause a little lag for some people. It's a little laggy on my end right now too. It should pass soon enough.[/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=blue][strike]And Stuart or Panda, you'll probably move this (or possibly already have) but I figured I'd mention it while I was typing this. Flames Firebrand, this type of thread really belongs in Suggestions and Feedback, where I'm sure it will be moved soon. Just check there for any future replies to it.[/strike][/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=#0000ff][/color][/font] [b][font=Verdana][color=#0000ff]Edit:[/color][/font][/b] [font=Verdana][color=#0000ff]Hehe, I guess I called that one pretty well ^_^ Panda, you got to it literally a minute before I clicked post.[/color][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AzureWolf Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 [COLOR=teal]Actually, while OB is going smoothly for me, myOtaku tends to hang for about 2 minutes before being able to get any data from the server and continue downloading the site. I think I have the same hanging problem as Flamefirebrand, and I haven't made any changes for quite a while.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunfallE Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Actually I was kind of wondering about this too as most of today myOtaku, theOtaku and OtakuBoards has been incredibly slow for me. I timed it and one page literally took over 3 minutes to load. I would say it?s my Internet service except pretty much every other site I visit runs just fine. Usually when I come here the pages load just fine so I figured there were probably just a lot of members online today. ^_^ In fact compared to earlier it?s running much better as the longest it is taking right now is about 30 seconds. Though usually the pages load within just a few seconds. If you still keep having the problem then I would definitely check your computer for viruses or spy ware as they tend to really slow your system down.

Sara Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 [color=#6699cc]I actually have the same problem with myOtaku. It's very frustrating.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikillion Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 [COLOR=DarkSlateGray]Yeah I also had the same problem with it today. It doesnt seem to happen alot of the time though. I thought I had left my computer on to long, or I needed to delete my Temp folder or something like that. However now it seems to be going on fine and who knows, It could have been that the server was a little bit crowded today also.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagger Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 This is the first time all day that I've been able to connect to any part of the network. :animesigh Anyway... for me, OB is (most of the time) noticeably faster than myO. ~Dagger~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlamesFirebrand Posted September 26, 2005 Author Share Posted September 26, 2005 Im still waiting for myotaku to load D: ..I should check for spyware and does anyone else have any more suggestions into speeding it up? Eg delete files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desbreko Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 [color=#4B0082]There are times where I get the "connection was refused" error in Firefox when I try to access an Otaku site here, but it usually goes through after a couple tries at most. I don't remember having any speed issues lately that weren't just due to my ISP, though. But yeah, run a check for spyware, and it can't hurt to try clearing your cache and cookies. Also check whether you have any other programs running that use a net connect and could possibly be using up your bandwidth.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 [SIZE=1]Interesting, most interesting. Well as I have a fairly slow internet connection anyway. 26.4 kbps usually I've become accustomed to having to wait for a page to load. However lately I have noticed that it's taking noticeably, though not considerably longer for pages to load on the Otakuboards network. At first I put it down to my computer which had been acting up for the last while with different problems, but reading what's here it might be a combination of my modem being a jerk and OB having some network problems. I have run several scans with both my anti-virus and anti-spyware software and come up with nothing, so either OB is going through a kind of slowdown time or my modem is being a far bigger jerk than I'm giving it credit for being. Until James or perhaps Justin post something on the issue, I'm just going to assume it's my PC and continue insulting it to ease my frustration.

Panda Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 I do have a bit of information to add to the discussion. [quote name='The man, the myth, the legend: Adam']We're going to add a new machine to our network very soon--hopefully this week. It'll rival our most powerful box in specs (Dual Xeon with 2 GB RAM).[/quote] This is going to be the [b]fourth[/b] dedicated server for the network! The site has grown so much we need another one now! With the addition of the new server the speed of load times around the network should pick up. :catgirl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horendithas Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 I have been wondering about this as well. I have been a member for just over two months and so far everything has run just fine. But starting yesterday all three sections of Otaku have not only run terribly slow, but most of the time the pages simply will not load. As every other site I visit runs just fine I have been wondering why this site is not. Even just to reply to this thread has taken me over 15 minutes as the pages keep messing up and I have to start over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petie Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 [quote name='Panda']I do have a bit of information to add to the discussion.[/quote][font=Verdana][color=blue]If they're in the process of adding a new server, that's almost definitely what's causing the problem. Chances are, files need to be transferred to the new server to get everything up and running. This can be a very CPU-intensive task and would slow down the time it takes for the server to retrieve the page you're trying to load. Once the new server is in (assuming that's what they're doing), we should be back to normal.[/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=blue]Seeing as this is happening to so many people though, I'm going to say it's probably not due to cache problems or other programs using an internet connection (or any other individual computer related problems for that matter). I know I have tried loading all three of the sites on multiple computers, from multiple networks, and still had the same problem. Even when I was trying to type this post this morning (around 8:30 AM, I was in school), the site was running very slowly and the bell rang before I had a chance to finish, which is why I'm posting this now.[/color][/font] [font=Verdana][color=blue]Anyway, I hope this is the cause and if it is, I also hope that this clears some things up.[/color][/font] [b][font=Verdana][color=#0000ff]Edit:[/color][/font][/b] [font=Verdana][color=#0000ff]Actually, it would appear the site (only OB as of yet) is back up to speed for me. I'm not sure if this is because the problem is fixed or just that I'm getting lucky. Is anyone still having any major connection problems (as in very long load times or even failure to connect at all)?[/color][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaryanna Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I?ve been having problems too. It started yesterday when I tried to visit sites on myOtaku. I then found that theOtaku and OtakuBoards were running really, really slow too. I finally gave up as yesterday and today it?s so bad that quite often pages just don?t load at all. It took me forever just to get logged into OtakuBoards today. It told me over 10 times that the server couldn?t be found and other such errors that you get when a site doesn?t come up. >_< I can visit other sites just fine. It just seems to be this place that isn?t working right. I even tried it at school on a different Internet service and I still had the same problem that I?m having at home. Since I?ve never really had a problem before I?m assuming it?s because they are updating or fixing something here. At least I hope that?s the case.

Goodbye, Face Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 [font=trebuchet ms]Reading this discussion, I went through five "timed out" errors, this was happening Thursday before I left. I was talking to James at the time and he gave me a big *shrug*. So, I hope this clears up, as I can't even view my myO, I can look at my backroom though. Every time I've attempted to view my page I've gotten a "time out" error or it sits there with my background on the screen and refuses to continue loading.[/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikillion Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 [COLOR=DarkSlateGray]Another thing that I seem to find wierd about this, I'm not to sure why though. Is that at the later hours like right now. There is not any little trouble with the server what so ever. It runs just as smoothe and perfectly as it is supposte to. Im not to sure why though. It could be because of all of the people have left and gone to bed...Those normal people.... However if there really is going to be a new server...Maby there can be even new and better things happening here. who knows?[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 [quote name='sand dragon 19][COLOR=DarkSlateGray']However if there really is going to be a new server...Maby there can be even new and better things happening here. who knows?[/COLOR][/quote] I know for sure that the guys have a lot of new stuff lined up dealing with updates for the network. We just have to be patient and see what wonderful things they have been cooking up. :catgirl: Back on the subject of the lag monster that is attacking many of the members. I guess I have been very lucky. The only place I have noticed drag is for approving submissions for theOtaku. Other than that I have been blessed with regular page load times. Part could be dealing with what sand dragon 19 mentioned, I do find myself on the site during "odd" hours when the good little children have gone to bed. Less people thus less traffic on the servers during those wee hours. This could explain why some people just luck out and aren't having as many problems with lag monster.

Hopefully that will improve the speed of the site during peak times. And there's always new stuff on the horizon.

Dagger Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Yeah, speeds are a lot better for me as well (at both theO and OB). It still takes a rather long time for my myO backroom to load, but maybe that's just me. :animeswea ~Dagger~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
