    TouchArcade has been very slow at random times during the past month or so, and fairly often. Pretty much on a daily basis. Has anybody else noticed this? Thought I'd bring it to the staffs attention.

    Perv, why do you care?
    Me too. I guess it is because it is so popular.

    I don't know. Last night at 2- 4 am PST it was at a standstill, wouldn't even load at all sometimes. I know people from all over the world/time zones come here but at that hour there shouldn't be a traffic problem. Somethings up
     
  5. Yes, there's been problems with the websitte several times this month.

    ya, there were two separate issues I think.

    1) there was some apache issues which were unrelated to server load. apache would just die and stop serving web pages for like 10 minutes at a time. I think this is improved/fixed?

    2) actual growth - where we may be starting to straight our resources a bit. Some changes were made today which should help and we'll see if we need to upgrade hardware in the future.

    Sounds good. But it took me 10 minutes and as many tries to load this thread, or any other just now. FYI.

    Strange but it seems to happen regularly for me at around midnight PST - last night included. As soon as 12:00 rolled around I got timeouts and non-loading pages.

    Just happened again. Been posting all day without a problem. At 12:00 midnight PST it's barely moving. maybe the servers do something at that time? It never fails.

    ....and again just now...12:02 am. It loaded but very slow.

    I guess that's enough info from me ;)

    Australia, mate!
    I get a lot of slow downs on the forums, but not so much on the home page.

    I've had this issue for months now and only this site. Earlier it was down (for me) at a longer time (apprx 45mins) but now it will let me back on within a few mins. Gets to be rather annoying and it has come to the point of being expected. But read arns post and hopefully things will be on the mend.:)
