Nick and O2C

I know both of you guys are busy, but the board is acting so badly that it's like watching a prostitute put a condom on an epileptic. Check out for us, k?

Server rebooted.

You're welcome, considering I resigned 2 months ago .

You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave...

It's happening again.

Jesus Christ. It's taken 43 minutes to get back to this thread. God only knows how long it'll take to actually post the comment.

Guys, please do something...anything. This is happening during peak posting hours and it's killing us. I'm considering closing the board until this is fixed. Yes, it's that bad.

It's just taken me four goes and 45 minutes to get in here. To discover three new posts since I was last online about four hours ago...
Somebody's arse needs kicking, I'm assuming the host's...

For once it's our fault.

That Packard. He'll have to be banned.

Hmm... Nick, if there's a way to, perhaps we should turn of Analog. It's taking nearly 3 hours to run at this point. 10 minutes just to load the output page.

Sometimes stuff like this happens because log files get full, IIRC. Like audit logs and whatnot. Empty 'em out and the hamsters start runnin' again.

Took me several tries to log into the AdminCP.

I'm posting it, in case the information helps somehow.

Glad to know you guys are on the case though!!

For what it's worth I haven't had any trouble.

For whoever's unboxing the newbies, you're supposed to change their primary usergroup, not add secondary usergroups.

Just shut it down. It's not working. Let 'em join, but I refuse to take any blame when the place is overrun by duals and spam bots.

K.

[action=Order2Chaos]secretly grins as this means an easier upgrade to 3.6.8 PL 1[/action]

Hack undone. Deleting box.

Actually, FWIW, we have at least 2 spambots stuck in the Newbies group. So the experiment wasn't a total loss.

Someone (read: not me!) needs to verify the identity of the other 32 Newbies (35 - 2 spambots - 1 person posted and waiting) and let them out.

So, when is the slowness problem going away?

^It's not just a speed issue, I'm finding my rep-giving abilities very hit and miss...

Actually it is. The rep box is only loaded when you click on it. The question... is why.
