Hi Neal, despite closing the SH5 forum for no members, it is nearly impossible
to go through all the messages.

The response is very, very slow.
Are you sure that that extra memory is still inside the server (or did you need it for playing SH5)? :smug:

Yeah, it's slow. We have about 2o times the usual traffic. I am scheduling an additional server to load balance.

20 times more traffic :eek:
That explains a lot.
Now I'm feeling stupid to post this msg. :oops:
Sorry Neal, no pun intended.
I was just giving a 'signal'.

Yep, no wonder... it's SH5 release season (or SH5 flaming season?) and it seems like a lot of people's attention is on the site now.

It's almost unusuable for me much of the time right now :( I hope there's some relief to this soon.

Things got a lot better since about an hour ago. Did you hook up a new server Neal, or is it just a fluke?

I noticed a speed bump too, just recently

Looking good so far Neal. I think you should consider suing Ubisoft for damages to the forum servers, eh? ;) Of course, you'd have to fight your way to the front of the pitch-fork baring, torch waving crowd.... :hmmm:

Lol, yeah.

I think the speed picks up in the periods when Europe or American is asleep.

I expect to start work on the new server Monday. Thanks for your patience.

17:30 here in the UK and the speed has just resumed a normal/ish level http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/thumbsup.gif

Was beginning to wonder if you'd converted the forum to DRM http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/4030/winkbigid2zj6.gif

It's been a little slow off and on, but I'm not getting the "could not connect" or "link broken" errors I was earlier today.

I've been having fun. I can see it literally slowing down and speeding up again. For several minutes it takes so long to load it times out and gives me the standard "Unable To Connect" screen. Then a few minutes later it's back to normal.

High entertainment.:sunny:
