Site question

Sun Aug 09, 2009 5:51 am » by **Immortalgropher**

I dunno if this has been raised, but lately the whole site seems to be a bit sluggish and I've cleared my browser cache/temp files and defragmented and all that good stuff, but it's still quite sluggish.

Also, is my forum quote acceptable? I tried to keep it not as advertisement-like as I could :p.

The site is growing (very rapidly now) and the sluggishness is due to heavy traffic. Servers will be upgraded very soon.
We currently stand at 33,714 members. That number was just over 20,000 about 3 weeks ago.
And of course there are the lurkers that come here but never join.

After re-reading it, yeah it's not very unadvertisey haha. With the loads of people who make videos and whatnot I figure I could help some people out who may need it

.

Ah, okay. If you can, try finding some I7 servers

. Blazing fast. I've got an I7 and 6gbs of ram here at home on the audio rig, Made of win! Well...12GBs would be more win -cries-

Hey we have enough people out there who like to "make", videos.
If you get any unusual requests (ufos, bigfoot etc) can you put a watermark in them. :lol:

Well, when i say videos I spose I'm wanting more "big-time" things lol. Some kind of documentary and stuff like that. I'll put a dancing banana as a watermark :lol:

I can clean up audio too for people who have EVPs and stuff. That's always fun :p.

Why the sudden increase and why is this forum so quite at night (pacific time always the last to go to bed) this is when I'm most active! I bet september will be very busy most people are enjoying the outdoors this time of year.
