Members wheresgrant3 Posted October 25, 2012 Members Share Posted October 25, 2012 All week, slow page loads, DNS errors, server time-outs. Anyone else experiencing this? My web is flying today, everywhere but HCBWTB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members eBayfreak Posted October 25, 2012 Members Share Posted October 25, 2012 Me too. I can get the main acapella.harmony-central.com page to load, but everything else is hit and miss, refresh again and again. Anyone know the cause? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members eBayfreak Posted October 25, 2012 Members Share Posted October 25, 2012 P.S... I received a page not responding error and had to refresh twice to make that last post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jimiv Posted October 25, 2012 Members Share Posted October 25, 2012 Yeah, been like that for me for awhile now. All of my machines, laptop, home desktop, work desktop....all same story, first the skinny ring of death, which goes on so long that I usually just give up.

Members FitchFY Posted October 25, 2012 Members Share Posted October 25, 2012 I have no issues with the HC forums on my home laptop (ThinkPad running Firefox), but on my work PC through IE7, it's like a snail in peanut butter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vito Corleone Posted October 25, 2012 Members Share Posted October 25, 2012 I'm getting the impression that nobody who runs this place much cares about it running anymore. Maybe it's been decided that trying to maintain the site is more trouble than its worth? FWIW, Firefox seems to be working a BIT better for me than IE9, but not much.

Moderators BATCAT Posted October 25, 2012 Moderators Share Posted October 25, 2012 As I posted a little while ago:Yes, the problems you mention are intermittent, persistent, and forum-wide. They occur for all users AFAIK.I have nothing to do with the technical side of the forums; I'm strictly a moderator. To be blunt, I can't offer much to satisfy you guys except to say everyone in Admin and IT are aware of the problems. Apparently it has to do with the specific way vBulletin is being run. I'm afraid I can't offer much else other than to say people really are working to fix the problems. It seems particularly bad today. I sort of hope they break completely so something will then HAVE to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kramerguy Posted October 25, 2012 Members Share Posted October 25, 2012 yep. I posted about it last week. This week is even worse. It's always been an issue, but I do like these forums... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole forum will seem like it'll be on the very edge of totally breaking, then minutes later it will be working flawlessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wesg Posted October 26, 2012 Members Share Posted October 26, 2012 [16:00:06.868] GET http://acapella.harmony-central.com/...drate.js?v=408 [HTTP/1.1 304 Not Modified 38652ms] 38.6s to serve up a 304 response for a static object. There must be flames shooting out the power supply. They could lighten the load quickly and relatively easily by serving static content up from some kind of a CDN. [15:59:16.465] GET http://acapella.harmony-central.com/...-With-the-Band [HTTP/1.1 200 OK 848ms] The actual "hard work" for this page took less than a second, so chances are fair that the DB is not overwhelmed. HEAD responses are taking their sweet time, too. Either some huge crazy process is running on the server and chewing up a LOT of resources, or they are getting the {censored} beat out of the webserver and it can't handle all the concurrent connections. The latter could easily be because of evil people playing silly games. Wes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Potts Posted October 27, 2012 Members Share Posted October 27, 2012 Would it be worth it of rme to start a new board? I had a pretty successful one in the past and I'd do it again if I knew anyone would post there but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SeniorBlues Posted October 28, 2012 Members Share Posted October 28, 2012 As of yesterday, there's a notice at the top of the page that says forums will be slow while they're "archiving". A bit more information, like how long this procedure takes, would be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wades_keys Posted November 11, 2012 Members Share Posted November 11, 2012 I think he hacked this and that's why it's so slow. Not me man. First time I've even lurked here since then. Y'all are cool. Just gotta take a break from this time wasting stuff and get stuff sorted. Besides, I'm not gigging anyway so that kinda pushes me out of the club. Wes made some great observations. Also, check your routes. From what I can see, HC is hosted on an edge provider and not a core provider. There is a difference where you host, as to the quality of the routes you get. A core provider enlists in BGP, where an edge provider does not. That's the long and the short of network latencies with no apparent cause. Of course, the evil ones may be syn flooding or some other such, but again: look at the routes I posted a while back and see that some of the upstream routers were choked so badly that they were returning 300+ ms resp times. Moving to a core provider would alleviate this particular issue. Plus, core providers have more expertise at blocking SYN flood DDOS attacks. Later.
