Why is Hype so slow?

[Gilpesh]

That's the **** that bothers me the most. It's like one out of every five or six pages will load just fine, but the rest always fail. Sometimes I can F5 a page and it times out but then I can press F5 immediately after the time out and it works just fine.

And then sometimes the entire thing just ****s the bed and you can't do anything.

But don't worry folks... they're 'working' on it.

Interesting no Mods have come in to explain. I guess they are to busy worrying about posters calling other posters poopy head, & posting pedobear pics. & god forbid someone challenge there logic!

 

[Nivek]

Things are loading up at 1998 dial up speeds. This is beyond annoying.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Haha.

I love it!

I wonder if anything is actually being done.

 

[Majin Boo]

these forums has been slow to me for the past 2 years

 

[Alex The Great]

Some of you sound like you're gonna rebel against the mods

And what exactly are we supposed to explain? We the mods have asked the admins what's up with the lag....and we have been told just as you have, to have patience because they are working on it.

If you think it is hard for you guys to post...try accessing the modding tools and do things like merge threads or the such.

 

[Majic Walrus]

I'll give it a go. Go ahead and make me a mod.

 

[danoyse]

Yes, it's a grand conspiracy...

...no, it really isn't.

We're having the same lag problems too, and we're just as frustrated. And like C. Lee said, it's even harder for us when we're actually trying to do our jobs here.

And we know as much about what's going on as the rest of you do. Honestly. If we had an explanation, we'd give it to you. We've been asking the same questions too. All we know is that it's being worked on, and will hopefully be a thing of the past soon.

 

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

It took me 5 minutes for a post to go through right now in another area. I'm sure just trying to send this through will be another 5.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Wow, well the forums worked really for a few days but now it's virtually inaccessible to me. I've managed to open a grand total of two threads over the last several days, this being one of them. Carrier pigeons are faster than this.

Eagerly awaiting whatever upgrade I hope is coming.

So, by saying that you guys are having problems too...is that like a free pass for us to say "F it, lets start some stuff!"
Quick everyone! The time is now!

 

[Maximum Carnage]

Eh, everyone can slow down their lives just a bit. Here and there. I've missed this place! I have returned! Aha!

But C. Lee, we have been told "we're working on it" for like, over a year now.

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

Yeah, the lag is a killer.

I remember a few years back the forum was closed for a week, twice and then everything seemed to be ok for awhile.

It sucks that we don't know how ''soon'' is ''soon''.
Maybe if we all emailed the admins with complaints they may take action sooner?

 

[Havok83]

Its horriblee and beecoming almsot impossbiel to access this site. Ive seen other baords which have had similar issues prune old threads in order to speed things up. Threads which have gotten large have been closed. Are the mods looking into any of these options?

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

I'm not so bothered by the horrible loading, which lately has become really bad. To the point where I thought something was wrong with computer. But, aside from taking 13 minutes to be able to see this thread, the "can't find webpage" thing appearing to then refresh the page is pretty bad.

I've lost like 4 lengthy replies in the past two days. I don't know nearly enough about computers to even fathom what could be wrong and how they could fix it.

But I'd like them to fix it.

 

[Majic Walrus]

I'd imagine that complaining will only make more people even more frustrated. Look we all like the site and we all want to keep coming here so I as much as I hate the lag I'll get over it. If the site lagged like this forever I'd probably still come just as much.

 

[SurfDUI]

Man, it's been crawlin if accesseble at all over the past week. If it's gotta be shut down for a bit to clear room, I'd hope, I'm sure we'd get a warning.

I don't have a backup for IM2 posts, so I guess it'll be like the days before the net.... what was it we did again??...talk to actual people...i'll give it a whirl.

 

[Superman]

I blame vBulletin more than Hype for having a sh**** server. This is just getting ridiculous.

 

[C. Lee]

But C. Lee, we have been told "we're working on it" for like, over a year now.

And what part of WE THE MODS HAVE ALSO BEEN TOLD FOR OVER A YEAR THAT THEY ARE WORKING ON IT AND TOLD NOTHING MORE ABOUT IT do you not understand?

The MODERATORS have no control over or any extra knowledge about the lag than you do....we just get blamed for it and hollered at by the posters about it.

 

[Figs]

Look we all like the site and we all want to keep coming here so I as much as I hate the lag I'll get over it. If the site lagged like this forever I'd probably still come just as much.

Same here. What I do is I click on the thread I want and if it doesn't load in a few seconds I open another tab and look at something else in the meantime.

 

[Golgo-13]

Wow, took 20 minutes to go from page 4 to page 3 of this thread.

 

[The Geek Vault]

I don't care how slow the site is I feel like the other sites related to comics and comic book movies are just as bad ie Newsarama.com
