Server issues @ BFC?

[WValtakis]

I've noticed the daily midmorning slowdown as well, 10:00am PST.

Hey!
Guess how I know it’s 8pm PDT EVERY night?



I wouldn’t be so cranky, but it’s my wind-down-for-the-day escape.

It may be time to migrate to a new hosting service.

It was down hard around 11pm PST, I got a "Web Server Down" error

??????????????????

6pm Mountain time and it's slow as molasses.

45 seconds to load a page at 7:10pm PT! One of the slowest ever. Like clockwork!

This kinda ridiculous.
The snail speed has been going on for months now.

Is the check engine light on???

 

[WValtakis]

Whatever it is seems to be on an 8 hour cycle, happens at 3am/11am/7pm PST like clockwork everyday. I think the 7pm lag just gets the most attention due to the higher evening traffic.

I really like this place - otherwise I would have given up on it by now. MUCH too long for a fairly significant problem to go on.

Why is this problem continuing to occur? Tonight, I couldn't get someone's thumbnail pics in their FS thread to expand over the course of a few minutes.

It really has become annoying this has gone on for so long.

At 7:59 pages took 3 seconds to load, after 8:00, over 35 seconds.

This appears to fall on deaf ears, which is disappointing. I don't need a resolution so much as an explanation. A simple, "Hey guys, we're shit outta luck here" would be a start.

@Spark with all due respect (and I mean that that genuinely), I know this isn't your only iron in the fire but is this forum a priority or is it simply being allowed to decay?

Can't post a pic in a particular sub without it doubling into a second post with the same pic. WTF?

FYI, it was just horrible again a few minutes ago - and I took the liberty to show you the in depth results ->

the good news is - your ad network doesn't seem to be the issue...
the bad news is, your raw performance is suffering seriously... notice the 12 and 20 second .php page loads

Has the hosting site given any feed back?

The main reason I have not become a contributor is this forum's slow loading speed and the lack of an admin/owner providing the membership with an answer.

I only have an issue at 7-730pm MT., everyday like clockwork. I just have learned but not a big deal for me. It is inconvenient for sure but it has to be something serious as it’s been going on since the beginning of the year. Must not be and easy fix as I’m sure they’re aware.

 

[WValtakis]

Frustrating for sure, especially with how long it's been going on and how little attention it seems to be getting.

 

[jlauffer]

Agreed, but to "not become a contributor" over it seems a bit excessive. If it was slow all the time I could certainly understand, but luckily it only seems to be for 30min or so each night.

I’ve spent a lot of time here since working from home so when 7 rolls around it’s actually just a good reminder for me to take a break.
