mimesis Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) I don't know if this matches other people's experience, but the last 2-3 days the site has generally been very slow to load, and several times I've got "the server is too busy" messages, and the site has been inaccessible for a while. EDIT: sorry about the double post. Ironically, I actually got the "server busy" message again just after I hit the "post" button, and I was unable to get back on here for about an hour. I had no idea it had posted (twice). Edited May 30, 2013 by mimesis Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RWJP Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Same experience here. Plenty of "server is too busy" errors over the last two or so days, a couple of SQL errors as well. Two nights back I was unable to access the site between about 7pm and Midnight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aitch Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Up and down like a whores drawers at the moment for me too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arnie Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Just rebooted the web front end now. Ironically when I went to get at the service this morning when I saw this post I couldn't get in! I've restarted the front ends now, there will be a load spike while it settles and I'll monitor it. The box has been up 597 days so it's done well so far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Is there any type of a lack of server space/oomph causing a problem? Because if the forum needs extra funds I'm more than happy to put down cash to keep this place running as smoothly as possible, resorting to other airsoft forums when Arnies is down is just a horrid and utterly lacklustre experience by comparison the majority of the time.. Whether it's some sort of special membership or just plain donations, I'm sure I'd be far from the only one who'd open their wallet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Powerslave Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 I noticed the problems. It's been impossible to access through tapatalk. Not sure if this is something unique to that program as I have accessed through my browser a couple times. As ckinnerly suggested I'd be happy with a donation thing going on. Not too sure about a special membership tier though. The really nice thing about arnies is the equality between users Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arnie Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 the load has dropped back down now, so I'm hoping it was just lag caused by the service not being restarted for ages. We are due a hardware upgrade at some point but we're okay funds wise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawaiianjuggernaut Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Could it be spam bots? I noticed a bunch of shady suspicions profiles that had recently viewed my profile. They looked kinda fake. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Baddbaz Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 Same issues here as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mimesis Posted June 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 At the risk of speaking too soon, since the reboot yesterday afternoon, the site for me is back to normal, responding promptly and with no problems of access to the forum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Powerslave Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 I have been encountering problems still through tapatalk. Not as frequently though. Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mimesis Posted June 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Yup, spoke too soon. Forum has again slowed to the pace of a gouty tortoise. Access totally impossible an hour ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Arnie Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Caz, has that error now gone? There will be a brief slow period at one point during the day when the backup runs, that is sadly normal and unavoidable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cazboab Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Its gone for now, was around about 2/3AM when it was showing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Baddbaz Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Still slow to load Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arnie Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Let me know times (and timezone you are in) that you find it slow. I can then check here. Sadly I don't have 24/7 access here due to my "real" working life getting in the way. I can keep an eye on things and see if there's more I can do. Last time we were overloading things because the databases were just too big. I solved that by archiving a lot of older stuff. It's still available in the forums, just listed separately if it's a year or more old. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PureSilver Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 I've noticed this a lot too recently but it's been much improved over the last two days or so. I've been meaning to ask - is this all running off a desktop-sized box in your house, Arnie? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Baddbaz Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Today Arnies is working well for me , load up times are back to fast again . Yippee ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've been meaning to ask - is this all running off a desktop-sized box in your house, Arnie? Nah we run off a dedicated rack in a server farm. Glad the speed is better!
