Why BOS ALWAYS lags (1 Viewer)

[HellVeN]

I think it's because of the meatballs.
Anyone got a better explanation?

I thought it was because its getting closer to the HSC and the site is getting more hits than a $2 whore?

 

[Jago]

sif hit a $2 whore.

1) The server is not Australian

2) There have been problems since the last upgrade.

it's the dolphins sabotaging the underwater cables

 

[iambored]

there have been probs forever, not just since the last upgrade, it's better now because the whole thing doesn't crash as often, it's just slower and comes back quickly

There should be a "donate" feature on BOS - Like i mean, its not cheap nor easy to run a server, host so many files, and maintain forums.

its a periodic lag, esp. during about 7 pm of the night or somewhere near, its never works...

 

[santaslayer]

It tends to lag for me at about 9pm....I avoid those times though.

We do have a Paypal icon on the front page... but no-one actually donates heh.

 

[Jago]

theres a frontpage?

 

[Slidey]

What paypal icon? If you make it bigger or point it out, I think people would donate.

I've visited the front page countless times and have never noticed it. It must be in the periphery, only registered subocniously.

www.boredofstudies.org front page. It's right there ...

 

[jumb]

I just spent 5 mins there and cant find it.

Also, im surprised that this is run by an overseas company.

 

[jm1234567890]

they moved to us servers due to cheaper rates at the end of last year i believe.

it used to be hosted in penrith i think.

 

[iambored]

i can't see it on the front page either

 

[fatmuscle]

penrith was ages ago.

We may be moving again soon. Hopefully if we can find som do$h we'll be upping the server specs a lot.

I am hoping for a bit of load balancing. that would be nice
