D70users S.L.O.W....?

[marcus]

Is anyone finding the site a little slow at the moment? I'm on cable and have never had a problem. I've browsed other sites to see if there was a problem before posting this and all seemed OK. So am I tripping?? Is it just me?? Or has someone else noticed?

[birddog114]

I'm feeling superfast with this evening.

[sirhc55]

I’m on broadband cable and it is fine but I am having trouble with other sites being slow - the mystery deepens

[Nnnnsic]

That might have been my fault for a few mins... depending on what I was doing at the time you felt it slow.

[kipper]

Yeah I noticed it slow down too.

[Nnnnsic]

Sorry.. that was probably my fault. I use this as my download connection and as downloads shouldn't affect it, uploads will. I do limit the speed of uploads I allow from my box, however, so it shouldn't have even been noticed.

[marcus]

Any faster now Kipper? If so, should we dare point the finger at Nnnnsic?

Just a joke Nnnnsic!

[Nnnnsic]

You can point the finger at me if you want, but seeing as how this connection is used for both the server and for myself, I'll just ignore the gesture.

I'm sorry if you experience any slow downs, honestly I am.

When this place reaches around 10 people or more, you'll see slow downs there, too.

At the moment, this is a home-run operation. Can't do much else for you.

[jethro]

finger pointing is politically incorrect! true or false?

[fozzie]

I am running 'ADSL' 512k/128k and I thought it was my ISP provider.
Now I can relax, no need to ring the ISP 'Help Desk' and be a nuisance.

Goodbye for now,

[birddog114]

I didn't see anything happened, I'm on Optus cable.

[Nnnnsic]

You can ring and be a nuisance anyway if you like.

And I don't give a rat's arse if finger pointing is politically correct or not, honestly.

Finger point all you want. I'll happily not care.

That's just one of the joys of having a hard-arse sociopath as an admin.

[jethro]

once again dont take my comments seriously im too old to get upset! hard arses are good, hard arses are a challenge. i enjoy political incorrectness!
no offence nnnnsic

[marcus]

Now LETS CHILL PLEASE EVERYONE! It was a simple question no harm intended.

Gee I'm sorry I asked.

[marcus]

I didn't see anything happened, I'm on Optus cable.

I am too Birddog. But I still had the problem? Hey Kipper...who are you with?

[fozzie]

Nnnnsic,

I am not finger pointing. I was just curious where the problem was. I am more than happy with the service provided on the forum. Just that I only transferred my plan from 256k to 512k just over a week ago and I am half expecting a problem. Because people I know using the same ISP are upgrading to 1500k. So 'IT' people are most probably under pressure, and the same can be said for the network.

Cheers,

[Greg B]

How old is too old to get upset jethro?

[Nnnnsic]

I'm not taking it offensively... this is just the way I respond to things.

[birddog114]

kipper is in Mel.
I'm in Belmore and perhaps sharing the same Riverwood (Optus) as you're.
I haven't seen anything difference.

[christiand]

I'm on ADSL 512,
I do not have a slow experience with D70users.

Cheers

[jethro]

not that old greg

[marcus]

Mines back to normal now.

I just asked the question because there was a definate problem for 20mins or so and I rarely encounter a problem browsing. As I said, I browsed other sites during this time with no dramas and when I came back to D70users it was definately slow.

Let's all pray to god (or whatever god you may believe in, if you do believe in a god......oh no I hope this is not another can of worms!) that it won't happen again.

[Greg B]

I can see you must be a troublemaker marcus. First you try and stir up the womenfolk, then you start casting aspersions on the speed of our forum which leads onto non-finger pointing by, at or around our hard-arsed admin.






He he, only kiddin'.

How old is too old to get upset jethro?

I've wondered that myself several times recently

[marcus]

Greg,

Under the circumstances...........NO COMMENT

[christiand]

I currently don't have a slow D70users experince.

[gstark]

FWIW, I had the slow electricity running through the server for a while earlier this evening. The solw electrons were complaining that they never get a run, so ....

[marcus]

I was going to ask of the possibility of the slow electron thing!.....

[Greg B]

They're not called slow electrons anymore, they are called special electrons.

[gstark]

They're not called slow electrons anymore, they are called special electrons.

Er, um, sorry. Thanx Greg.

Yes, we have a battery of them here ...

[the foto fanatic]

Finger point all you want. I'll happily not care.

Sounds like my last colonoscopy!

[Oneputt]

From time to time a lot of sites can be slow and this one is no different. Yes I have had slow experiences here. Does it bother me, no.

[birddog114]

Yes, if it happens to me , I'll go to the kitchen and make me a cuppa! give me a little work out

[the foto fanatic]

Man, this site is sloooow this morning!
I think it's the slowest I've experienced here - I hope there are no problems in the engine room.

[birddog114]

I noticed this too, perhaps the admins all gone out and haven't come back yet!

[Nnnnsic]

Wasn't anything I've caused... I only just woke up.

I'd imagine ya'll can blame Telstra.

[sheepie]

As an aside, and not knowing whether this is related to anything...
This morning I haven't been able to get on the site using http://www.d70users.com as I usually do - would continually say it couldn't find the server.
I tried dslrusers.com and got in straight away, not even the slightest bit slow (even on dialup!).
...strange

[sirhc55]

Not slow for me at all this morning

Could be a DNS issue... but I wouldn't know why. Alas, it's something I can't test from where I am.

[birddog114]

hehehehe!
After the admin woke up thing goes fast now
