It did it again today between roughly 3:30 -4:00. I would say it was just me, but I see nothing has been posted and everyone disapeared.

Oh, woe! WOE! No forum for thirty minutes!

Today's evening news headline: Kansas City office worker productivity increases tenfold! (for thirty minutes)

I don't know if it is related, but the forum clock is now off by about ten minutes.

time looks fine.

Man you guys want 99.9% uptime don't you?

I assume the host had server issues...which could have caused the time difference for awhile.

No, we want 100% uptime! Is that too much to ask?

KCP and I are communicating about this, and are well aware of the performance issues.

So was it just me or has the forum been pretty much screwed for the last hour? Doesn't look like there has been much activity so I assume others must have been affected.

Me too, although I've been having internet connectivity problems all day.

The site has been sluggish, and my internet connection has also been troubled over the past 24 hours or so. Are you on Time Warner Road Runner too?

Do we need to hold a forum car wash or bake sale to raise money for some bandwidth or something?

^Something. Slow as mole-asses.

Post by **bahua** » Wed Dec 20, 2006 5:01 pm

It's not a bandwidth issue. They could pipe an OC192 gigacock line to our server, and it wouldn't make a lick of difference.

This forum is one of countless other database instances on its server. All these instances, using a relatively lightweight database like mySQL, share access to the system's memory and processor. When there ain't no more, there ain't no more.

The problem is compounded by a couple of factors. One is that the SMF/PHP/MySQL trifecta is a bit of a programming disaster anyway, so it's usually just a matter of time before a shitload of dead data, for lack of an easy word to describe it, clogs the server. This effect is accelerated by the fact that KCS has heavier use than most accounts.

In short, KCS is too big for its space on the web.
