Forum downtime
« on: December 18, 2012, 09:18:31 pm »
Does anyone else experience outages now and again? 

Out of interest which account is the forum on:
http://tagadab.com/uk/virtual-servers

Perhaps the RAM is being maxed out...

It's usually due to problems with the Flux Capacitor.

.
I thought that the forum's Admin team had plans for someone to takeover SteveP's role regarding IT aspects of running the site and, as a consequence, these ongoing server problems would be resolved. I understand that one member who has put his name forward to take over the role, is able to offer server improvements AFAIK.

So, what's the latest news about this, please?  :happy2:

And, yes, I still experience page loading problems.... Randomly - Some days clear of the problem and some not.

I know how much work goes into keeping a forum running.

However, as I personally put £30 into its donation pot to improve the performance, it can be frustrating at times. :)

I wasn't complaining; making an observation that perhaps we need some more horsepower in the server department.
I gave a donation before I posted my first post.  (I don't need a refund on that though, but thanks)
Yikes.

At the worst I have only noticed the forum being down for 5-10 mins.

I just go and do something else and try again later.

It's understandable this site takes a lot of maintenance and I dread to think what the server costs are for running this forum.
All the work that has gone Into this place is really appreciated :happy2:
