this website has gone ballistic.

Interesting, I have had a number of websites relating unfavorable facts about 47 and they are not loading. Not one other website I visit has a problem. That there are many more unfavorable views on here towards 47 than favorable, it could be his censure teams are at work.
he did it himself just the other day, telling a reporter they are “from fake news, don’t ever talk again.”
Maybe the powers in charge here can advise what went wrong so often.

 

Relax bisco. Shutdowns are only required while downloads/changes/ fixes are applied. The site is already shutting down a couple times a day now.

 

Every time I try to log into the site lately I'm reminded of an elderly person walking down a flight of stairs.....

 

What is going on here is not downloads/changes/fixes. It's not new either.

 

No, it's not....but it is getting worse. There is not enough traffic on this site to excuse this without "some communication" from the powers that be though.

 

After the server reboots, it seems like the cycle is:

• Response times are great.
• Server gets bogged down, and response times climb.
• Server response times continue to climb until the server becomes unresponsive.
• Server crashes.
• Server reboots.
• Rinse and repeat.

This cycle only takes about 40 to 45 minutes. Rebooting seems to take 30 minutes or so.

 

4 am on West Coast North America, site was fast. 20~30 minutes, completely unresponsive. Another 1/2 hour, back up, albeit slowish.

 

We know the last forum software update botched up refresh and editing for ios users and it would not surprise me if that is not a clue to underlying issues that remain.

Old software like Priuschat develop "memory leaks" which use up available processing space and or the old application becomes slightly incompatible with revised operating systems.

Only the admin and owner could tell us for sure but this problem has been ongoing for years and seems to be reaching a point where admin can't or does not want to get it fixed. Given how old this site is I would imagine it might require a new forum application to make it reliable and that might lose content without some serious cost to convert the database.
