Gossamer-Threads Forums loading _Really_ Slow ?
For the past two days, these forums have been loading REALLY slow for me. Is everyone else seeing this too, or is there something strange going on?

To post this message it took 5 minutes to load the discussion forum, and five minutes for this form to come up after pressing Post.

Gossamer-threads.com (main page)loads very slowly too leading me to beleive that there is something wrong with the server; the tracert and ping (200-250 ms) to gossamer-threads.com look fine.

Yep...I have experienced the same problem yesterday and today...and some links like Profile links within the forum produce Internal Server Errors.

Hi,

Do they consistently produce errors? We had some problem with the mod_perl server, but it should be fixed now.

Cheers,

Alex

I still have a problem. I got a reply e-mail automatically from you, but when i went to look at it i got an error. The link is http://gossamer-threads.com/p/122163. You may want to have a look!!! I don't know what specific message it was a reply to, or if it can be retreived (the message that is). Hope this helps you...

Hooray! The Forums are back!

Thanks Alex! The GT Forum is now loading in 10 seconds today as opposed to 6 minutes yesterday. :) :)

Is 10 seconds normal for you? They always come up less then 1 for me (and I'm not located close to the servers)..

Cheers,

The forums load in about 1 second or less for me. I am on cable though - Might just be a slow connection that is causing the problems?

My post above was in error and I appologize.

Normally, the forum does load in 1-1.5 seconds (33.6 connection)

Both times, before the previous "extreme-slowdown" and before this weekend's "crash", the forums slowed down for me so it was taking about 10 seconds to load (this is what I was thinking of because last time it was like this on and off for a week before the slowdown).

After Alex fixed it, it was again back up to speed, loading in about 1 second, but then starting Friday and Saturday it had many slow periods where 10 seconds was right, then I caught it a few times where it was back up to the "5-minute" behavior, and finally yesderday I was getting 500 errors. Now it's running smoothly again though (1 sec) : )

--why are all the SQL forums crashing. The webhostingtalk Vbulletin crashed yesterday as well :(
