Casper Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Well that was a flop. I was wrong. vB4 just isn't fully stable yet. I figured after 8 releases we'd be good to go. I was wrong. Server load averages were 4.X - 10.X. That's just not feasible. Loads like that, with the few of you up right now viewing the site? Yeah. I couldn't even run my update counter scripts. It kept timing out. So, back to the drawing board I guess. Sorry the site was down so long. I really thought we had all the bugs worked out this time.

Casper Posted October 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 For the record, this really sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 It was worth a try...but yeah I've had a few errors with links, and quoting so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted October 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Oh yeah. Lots of errors. And it was crushing the database with junk queries. So sad. I used to love vBulletin. The more I screw with this, the more I hate it and want to switch to something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Would it be worth the time and effort to TRY to fix the errors instead of switching to something new all together? I mean you did say that you put 8 months into this one so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all honesty, I'll probably just leave it at 3.8 for as long as I can. Maybe 4.1 will be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alienpi Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Server load averages were 4.X - 10.X. That's just not feasible. Loads like that, with the few of you up right now viewing the site? It looked cool while it was up! With all the dual/quad hex core machines around maybe they aren't as worried about efficiency as they used to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jporter12 Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 I have a dual quad-core xeon with 16gb ram running this site.So why is it so slow, then? Seriously though, as discussed before, the current version runs well for so many other forums, some of which make OR look tiny!Thanks for all the hard work that you put into trying to make the site even better!

Artmageddon Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Bummer. The only thing I know is that I keep wanting to click the new supporter/sponsor/ mod icons and expect them to take me to some magical place down the rabbit hole or somethin' like that. Get to work on that instead of spending weeks of your time working on and improving the site, slacker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that note, they COULD point to the supporters forum for supporters, mod/admin page for those fucktards, the sposor's section for them... But that's probably a lot of work for the friendly cracker.

dorifto240 Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 The outage was unacceptable!!! I was forced to interact in the real world yesterday evening... I had no idea what I was doing there! I got punched in the face at least five times!!!Apparently my "Johnny Big Balls" status extends so far as the Ohio Riders politics forum...Seriously though, I don't see too many problems with the current forum setup on the user end. Keep up the good work, if you need help/beer let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
