Topic: Is the forum slow? (Read 10149 times)

theory · « **on:** September 21, 2015, 03:25:50 pm »

Some rapscallions have told me that the forum is slow. I also thought it was slow earlier. But then I went to reboot it and it got fast again, possibly out of fear of its own mortality.

What are all of your experiences? Also, can someone explain how this CPU graph over the past 30 days makes any sense whatsoever? Who was responsible for making my forum run at 120% CPU?!

Is it bad that I want to do the Fourier transform of that graph?

I have experienced slowness.

It's been super slow, then with periods of not slow-ness

It's slow compared to times when it's been faster, but faster than times when it's been slower.

It is pretty slow for me, but so is Dominion Online.

It has been pretty slow. Probably due to my excessive posting. I recommend banning me.

I even quoted a post with an image unnecessarily. I'm basically DDOSing you, theory. Not even DDOSing your forum, but you, personally; it's personal.

Really I'm forcing your hand.

Look a double post.

If you were really trying, you would have quoted your previous post in this one.

And send an image everyone has access to back to the server AGAIN?

Look, I'm not on that level, I'm not Goko. I am just a man.

I rebooted the server. There shouldn't be any more slowness. I hope.

Sorry I missed this thread when you posted it, but yeah, I had been experiencing extreme slowness; to the point of sometimes timing out; off-and-on over the past week or maybe 2. Seems fine at the moment.

Took us even two days to read this post...

I think it's very slow again for the last couple of hourse. Seems like some of my requests time out and the next one is pretty fast again...

Now it says Database error when I want to see my sent messages.

I'm having slow loads also.

I haven't experienced any slowness since the start of this thread.

This morning was super slow, but it's working fine now.

Davio · « **Reply #18 on:** September 28, 2015, 09:34:55 am »

Haven't experienced any slowness at all the last month (European time zone).

Lots of slowness for me today, and Linode has told us that our server is being commandeered to send out spam email.

More in disturbing graphs:

If there's a skilled sysadmin on f.ds, we'd love to hear from you to figure out what's going on and would be happy to grant you the access that you need.

And we're back, after a lot of fighting. Spammers also filled up the mail log so we had no disk space. It's a huge mess and we really need someone who is actually knowledgable about this sort of stuff (and doesn't have to Google every damn Unix command ...)

What it also means, incidentally, is to CHECK YOUR SPAM FOLDERS

Because for a while, all emails from dominionstrategy are gonna be flagged as spam.
